The publication OF the controllers compilation

II evident that the loan expansion for the last
few months has been restricted 70 New YORK
banks, the New York increase for the period
covered reaching $7S 600 900 at the aggregate and
the whole country showing only sA,OOOOo0 IN
crease. This showing of heavy decrease In the
bank loans outside OF New York confirms the
belief that the low rates for money have been
sending idle funds to New York banks for deposit
rates of interest, thus in measure forcing those
institutions TO find employment for their deposits
This condition deprives the railroad borrowing
OF any menace to the money market. To sorae
extent il has been used as an indication or the
intention TO continue plans of betterment and
thus insure large expenditures for material,
which would have a beneficial effect upon IN
dustrial enterprises. The placing OF large orders

although IL Is understood that in the placing
of orders the railroads protected against any

An Expensive Year for RaiIroading.

An Expensive Year for RailrOading.
The oldest traffic officials state that they
DO not remember a winter in which West
ern roads and those of the Central Traffic
Association and trunk lines have been go
hampered BY snow and frigid temperatures
as the winter now nearing it's close, which
has greatly increased operating expenses
requiring double the power to move the
same volume Of business that is done in an
Ordinary winter. 1t has been necessary to
run extra passenger trains, double the pow
ar on through trains, and then ii was diff
cult to make time or money. Traffic men
are well satisfied with the outlook for bust
ness, but desire 10 see the time when OPP
eratlng expenses can be reduced, as at
present the cost of transportation is fully
up 10 the revenue received for CARRYING
passengers or freight. While the railroads
are taking the matter seriously. the ship
pers are feeling the conditions fully as
much as the railroads One Indianapolis
manufacturer has between INDIANAPOLIS
and New York thirty carloads of EXPORT
freight which ought to have been deliv-
cred at the seaport sixty days ago, and the
ers who were in the same condition as re-
CARDS getting their freight forwarded An
other manufacturer says that Between here
and ST Louis are several carloads of
freight ordered In December and shipped
the next day after ordered which are still
on the sidetracks between here and ST.
Louis. He then spoke of the severe rulings
or the car-servfce bureau of Indiana He
said that when freights arrived-take coal,
Tor lnstance-he would order the roads to
deliver twenty-five thirty cars, and if it
was not unloaded promptly he would en-
force the demurrage charges, insist that
they should be paid and he would adjust
the difference afterward, but the trouble
was that the time never came to settle
these matters satisfactorily. 1.-THE great
trouble is" said the shipper, that the
same conditions have existed for three
years. and 1t is very discOuraging to
manufacturer to push his business when
he doesn't know whether he can get cars,
or, IL he can get cars, whether they will
be forwarded or not in season to meet the
cult TO see how the matter can be bene-
fitted until more railroads are built Still
the strong lines, If a new road is projected
oppose 1t. as in the case of the Pennsylva-
MA against the Wabash getting into Pitts
burg. The fact Is that there are not
enough railroads 70 handle the increasing
business of the country, and the time will
come when obstacles TO the construction OF
new roads will be removed"
