INLAND TRADE
 FOR NOVEMBER
A Decided Falling Off by
 Comparison
It is Attributed In Part to Inadequate TranspOr- tatiOn Facilities.

Washington, Dec. 30-Internal com merce movements in November, as re- ported to the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor, show a market decline in certain i'm portant staples when compared with November of last year. but an increase for the eleven months ending with November. The falling off in move ments in November occurs especially in grain, live stock. meat produsts. and, in some localities, lumber and coal. While it is impossible to determine to what extent inadequate transportation facilities affected the movement oi such commodities, 1t can undoubtedly be af- firmed that they would have been much heavier had the railroads been fully able to meet the demand for cars.
