Railroads operating east through
Chicago and st. Louis are doing a
good and satisfactory business. They
are more even as regards the supply
of cars, but the Pennsylvania and Van
derbilt lines are not troubled with any
surplus, although they are nearer to
that condition than for any time in
over a year. Crop conditions have
slightly improved, but are not good in
the main, when comparison is made
with last year. Merchandise tonnage
is good and shows little change either
way. Tonnage going east is of about
the same volume as grain shipments
from interior junction points to the
seaboard and eastern interior having
enlarged OF late, due to the increased
deliveries of corn. Westbound ton
mage in coal and iron and steel is large
and promises to continue but there is
hardly as much coal coming to the west
as some time ago according to re-
ports from dealers. Southern roads re-
port a well balanced traffic with bust
ness conditions generally satisfactory.
