Mr.. Norris resumed his testimony by
putting in evidence statements OF pub

to the effect that there was con-

that they know of quotations made by

Mr.. Mann called attention to what

Manufacturers of railroad equipment,
and, indeed, all in any way interested
in the operation of the railroads, are
devoting much attention to the rapid
manner in which the supplies of freight
cars are being diminished. The former
Sc in it evidence that it will not be
long before the railroads again are in
the market for additional equipment
and will be pressing the filling of their
orders as urgently as they were Is
months ago. This. of course, will bring
renewed prosperity to the manufactur-
erS and will set the wheels of industry
going at about the same rate they were
! making before the period of general de-
| preston began.
On April % last there were reported
| by the car service bureau of the Amer
| lean Railway association 413,S3S idle
cars on the various lines. By October
| IA that number had been reduced to
| 101, GOO, and this in face of the fact that
| the increase in manufactures during
| these six months did not exceed 20 per
| cent. Had there been much more of an
| improvement in general business con-
| ditions, it is maintained. instead OF
there being a surplus of freight cars
| there would now be a famine such as
| that which previously obtained.
OF course the greater rate of decrease
| in the surplus car supplies is due to
| the movement OIL gram, DuI lndI move
ment has not been in any way phe-
| nomenal and would have to be taken
| into consideration under any circum-
| stances.
| 1t is the opinion that after the re-
| suits of next Tuesdays elections are
| known there will be a marked improve
! ment in general business conditions,
| and should one occur, the present sur
| plus car supplies will be transformed
rapidly into a big deficiency. While
| there already has been considerable
! Improvement in industrial affairs, it
| remains true that the industries of the
| country are running on not to exceed
| a 60 per cent basis.
