TRAFFIC is INCREASING
GREAT DEMAND FOR EMPTY
CARS BOTH EAST AND WEST.
Sanitary Condition of Passenger
Equipment Should Receive More
Acknowledgement Notes.

The Eastern lines are rushing all avail
able empty cars East for loading. The traf-
fc situation has undergone. many changes
in the last few days. Where the west-bound
movement amounted TO almost nothing 1T
is now heavy and the empty car situation is
more strained. Shippers at Western points
are calling for empty cars in which TO load
their new business, which they say is larger
than ever, and manufacturers in the East
say the amount of new orders which they
have on hand is surprising. Railroad Off
Gals, however, claim that the rush of traf-
fic is due TO the fact that the winters con-
gestion is just being cleaned up and much
tonnage which was held back by order of
consignees has been ordered shipped. One
of the strange things in connection with the
results Of winter business is that while
Eastern roads will show great decreases
in earnings, for the first three months Of
1904 many Western roads will show an in
crease. This is due to the fact that the
clearing OF congestion reached the Western
roads little earlier than it did the Eastern,
and while the Eastern lines were battling
with congestion the Western roads were
clearing 1T up, with the result that the first
three months will show some gains in earn
ingS.

AT the regular meeting of the Railway
Club of Pittsburg a special committee ap-
pointed TO investigate the subject of car
general foreman of painters of the Balti-
more * Ohio, in an address, among other
things. said: THE general impression is
that anyone who will do this work of clean
ing cars is capable of doing it right but
this is wrong impression, for not every
one can see dirt nor can anyone be trusted
to deal with that business in the light of
modern development. Not only dirt but
disease germs infest the cars. and must be
dealt with The cleaning includes all class
es of passenger cars, and a car that may
have been used to transport emigrants may
be wanted half hour later for cultured
classes The use of the modern system Of
compressed air, the vacuum system, wash
ing materials, car-cleaning preparations
necesstate an intelligent class of men for
that department" The work of the car
cleaners is so closely connected with the
car designer, the terminal and transporta-
ton department, that Mr. Wright calls spe-
cial attention to these features. Among
other things he advocated simpler construc-
ton for interior and exterior car finishingS,
which is now coming into great favor. He
said the yards should be equipped With
steam, water and air pressure pipes, suit
able racks for cleaning carpets, cushions.
mattresses, bedding, etc, suitable buildings
for storing materials and tools and rooms
for the comfort and convenience of en-
ployes. He said that the ability of the
transportation department to move cars
quickly from the station TO the yard de-
ponds much upon the best work to be OBJ
tanned from the cleaners. The sanitary side
OF the question was discussed by j. Il. Mill
ligan, chief surgeon of the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie.

Bank Insurance.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
In reading the report of the trial of the
officials of the wrecked Elkhart bank the
conclusion is forced on the reader that
there is something radically wrong in the
inspections made by the bank examiner.
Either he is not permitted TO make a thor
ough examination under the law he oper-
ates under, or he has been lax in his work.
The criminal work done some time
before the wreck, and should surely have
been discovered in time to stop it before
the bank was entirely wrecked. Insur-
ance companies of the class handling in
demnity Of all kinds could surely be able
to formulate a policy that would cover
banks, insuring them against defalcations
of this kind. They have policies against
burglary, and while that protects the stock
holders and depositors in as far as that
may affect their interests, the danger of
an officer or employee committing irregu-
larties like those at Elkhart Is far greater
and should be guarded against. The insur-
ance company could have examiner
who would be permitted to make a check
the sane as a travelling auditor of a rail-
road L think no bank would be allowed
to get in very bad shape if insured under
a policy of this kind, as the insurance COM
panies would compel correct methods to
be used. E. L. B.

Carney Johnson, one of the most trusted
engineers of the Pennsylvania, who is well
known to engineers in this city, is thought
to be fatally sick. He belongs TO that class
of engineers who are always called upon TO

The differential fight between the Penn
Sylvania and the Vanderbilt lines on eX-
lake grain rates to Buffalo is still in prog

point where no further cut can be made
without placing grain on the free list, and

The rates eX-lake grain Buffalo to

There are now five transcontinental rail-
ways in operation in the United States
and Canada, and one across Europe and
Asia and transcontinental railway is in
process of construction in Australia; more
miles are being added every month on the
line to constitute the Cape-Cairo Railway
in Africa. Meantime, the project for rail-
way extending in the United States by
way of Mexico and Central America to
Buenos Ayres, in South America, is receiv-
ing the attention of the Central and South
American States as well as the United
States and Mexico, and recent reports say
the project for a railway that will connect
the great rail transportation systems OF
| the United States with that OF South Amer

| construction of 4,S00 miles of railway II
Mexico, Central America and South Amer

THE HORSE MARKET.

About $50 fead of horses were received for the
opening auction sale yesterday, and, while there
a number of good kinds represented, the
proportion of this class not large
week ago. Therefore the quality and condition
generally was less satisfactory to buyers.
There was good attendance of dealers, but
evidently the demand was not as urgent as last
week. and there were fewer transactions at pri-
vate terms. In the regular auction the competi-
ton was not as strong as last week. and il was
difficult to consummate sales but finally
about steady prices were secured compared
with the way equal kinds sold a week ago.
There were few horses in any class good enough
to sell at over sl75. and most of the medium to
good chunks, drivers and draft horses sold from
800 TO sl65 Smaller and less desirable grades
sold from S35 TO $50.

Cattle-For the number OF cattle received to-
day there probably more good ones than
there las been for several weeks. Consequently
statesmen rather inclined TO expect better
prices than they have been getting. There was
a very indifferent demand for the best steers
and there seemed 10 be no local request for such
kinds On account of the developments in other
markets yesterday shippers were unable 10 get
orders, and consequently statesmen who had the
test steers were forced 10 carry them over I'M
sold There a fair request for a cheaper
class OF cattle. but the demand was not urgent,
and sales in most cases represented decline or
about l0c compared with the close OF last week.
Therefore far the fat steer department
Is concerned the selling side is surprised as
well as disappointed. There was a fair demand
for feeding cattle and sales were usually at
former Irices. There was an unusual number or
good and heiferS to-day, and some were
the best that has been here for long time.
The demand for this class OF cattle was better
than for steers, and in most cases fully steady
10 strong prices were realized. Ii will be OBJ
served that there more sales around top
prices to-day. but this is because there We're
more good cattle here The bull market did not
develop any quotable change, and the best
grade OF calves sold strong TO 25c higher but in
a general way sales were not quotably higher,
and thin calves difficult to sell as ever.

Sheep-There Is Improvement report In
the marketing OF sheep and lambs. and the sup
plies continue too small to establish a market
for all kinds. The receipts to-day consisted prin-
cipally of spring lambs that averaged little
over 80 lbs and sold at sSQ10. while yesterday
grades averaging IL 10 "a lbs sold at s5G10 80.
Under the circumstances there is no definite in
formation TO give shippers. but the surrounding
conditions make IL reasonable to expect that all
good sheep and lambs could find outlet here
now at comparatively satisfactory prices. and
possibly higher than have been realized recently.
In harmony with other markets the best grade
of lambs ought TO sell around So, and sheep at
high as 81 Quotations.
