be claimed with some degree OF

RAILROAD WORLD.

The statement of the Alabama Car
sarViee association was completed yes
terdav afternoon for the month Of De
cember and it shows a decrease of l'Ss
from the number of cars handled in De
cember of 1905.
This record is closer to the 1905 record
of the corresponding month than any re-
cord in several months. Owing 10 car
shortage, lack of motive power and other
causes the number of cars handled in the
last six or seven months of 1906 was
below the number handled in the cor
responding months of 1905.
January is expected to show a ma
terial increase over January of last year
as several of the railroads have secured
more equipment and additional motive
power, making it possible TO handle
very much larger number of cars.
