usually warm weather that has pre-

consumers slow to purchase their win

Operating officials view the situation
with some concern. They are afraid
that these orders may come upon them
in such a heap that they will not be
able to suppl. cars fast enough, and
the movement of the coal traffic may
interfere with that of other commod-
tiles, and may, perhaps, cause conges-
ton and blockades, such as those that
caused immense trouble prior to the
