A grain man says the reason that
cars are short in Nebraska at this time
is that the west bound freight is much
lighter than the east bound, and that
the railroads will not run empty cars
west. They are holding empties in
the east, he says, not that they may
haul corn east on the higher rate, but
because they will not move empty
cars west. They will hold these emp
ties until they can be loaded for the
west, and then they will be brought
west, unloaded and distributed to the
elevators for grain.
