Simpson of the Iowa state fair an
nounced that while the entries for
horses and cattle for the next fair do
not close until tonight the entries in
the cattle department are already
more ever before at any fair. The
cattle show will therefore be the fin
est ever known. Anoter advantage
which he has pointed out is that there
is more even distribution between the
classes, and not any proclamation of
one class over another. The Holsteins
have especially come to the front as a
show breed and the Jerseys are to be
shown in larger numbers than ever
before. In the horse entries, while
the number is not quite up to last
year. nearly all the leading breeders
of the country are represented. The
hog and sheep entries are very salts

CAR AND LOCOMOTIVE BUILDING.
Over 10000 Cars Built in 1eo3-Over
5000 Engines.

The Railroad Gazette gives the fol-
lowing statistics of car and locomotive
building during the last year:
Official returns from practically all
the a building plants in the country
show that 154,SOS cars have been built
during the year 1903. Of this total
figure approximately 1852, SOL are
freight cars and 2O07 passenger
coaches; 1853 ,195 for domestic and 1913
for export. Last year the total num-
Der of cars built was 164.547.
During the year 5152 locomotives
were built at the various works in
the country as against 1910 last year.
The number includes SO electric loco
motives. The increase over 1902 is
the largest of any one year, and posi-
bly, is due to the fact that the loco
motive works of the country had such
a volume of orders placed during 1902
that they were unable to make imme-
date deliveries, and many of the or
.ders were held over till 1903. At an
average cost of the locomotives of
$4,000, the total amount spent by
the railroads for motive power would
be approximately $62, O00,O 900. This
figure does not include the locomo-
tives which were built yearly by the
railroad companies at their. own shops.
