RAILROADS ORDER
S340,000,000 I'M CARS

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-According to
the figures of the Panama Steel Car
Company's annual report. issued Wed
nesday, orders for 100000 railroad cars
We're placed with different concerns
during the year 1905 Ofcials Of the
company stated yesterday that this
volume of cars placed with the differ
ent manufacturers has a value of
$40. .000. 600. 1t Will practically take
the entire year 1906 to turn out the
business.
In his annual report to the stock
holders President Honstat said:
The railroads of the United tSates
ordered more cars than ever before in
their history. In our last annual re-
port we ST tied that the railroads aver
age annual requirements were about
$4,000 cars. but that during 1903 and
1904 only 100000 cars were ordered.
Published reports show that more than
$4,000 cars were ordered in 1905, indi-
eating that the railroads not only COW
cred their estimated annual require
ments but ordered cars they failed to
purchase in the previous two years.
Almost so per cent OF the cars ordered
in 1905 were all steel or steel under
frame construction"

reached Yesterday in the grain-raJe

sent word TO the Western men that II
they did not decide to accept arbitra-

sion of the rate by today. then the East
ern lines would wash their hands of the
entire matter. and would refuse to do
anything more.
The Western lines are undecided what
action 10 take. 1t Is likely however,
that they viii accept nine cents out of
