EASIER TO GET RAILROAD EQUIPMENT.

At a meeting of the Chase National Bank di-
rectors yesterday James ]. HIN said that the rail-
roads throughout the country were now receiving
new equipment much faster than recently recorded.
and that the car and locomotive building companies
were in far better shape to make deliveries than
they were a few months The congested con
dition Of the companies plants has been relieved
but this does mean that there has been a
marked falling of in orders. Among the railway
e0upment companies this is considered the dull
period of the year, but 1t is interesting 10 note
that the various have enough untitled
orders on their books to keep them busy through
out the year without the addition Of business.
