bushels of wheat, corn and oats from
the west are waiting for cars for trans
portation east.
The railroads are swamped with or
ders for cars that they are unable to
supply. Big commission men and
other dealers in grain are beseeching
the traffic officials for cars but they
can only throw up their hands and say
they do not possess the equipment
that is demanded
Fully 5000 cars could be utilized.
1t will take many days to move the i'm
mense amount of grain even when the
cars are available.
The demand for cars is caused by a
number of big deals in which Chicago
firms have sold to the east, and it hap
pens that deliveries are all to be made
at one time, producing famine in
cars.
