RAILROAD NEWS.
The Situation as Regards Car
Shortage Improving.
A Further Decrease in Surplus
Is Reported.
COAL RUSH THE CAUSE
However, an Increase Is Elk
pected Until Crop Time.
Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

In bulletin giving a summary Of
SURPRISES and shortages by groups
from October 80, 1907, to March 18. Of
this year, the car efficiency committee
of the American Railway association
says:
There is an apparent Improvement
in the general situation, the report for
this date showing a decrease of II, SO
in the number of surplus cars. This
decrease is entirely covered in the coal
car figures, the only other improve
ment of any consequence, appearing in
the fat cars, which decrease is more
than offset by the increase in miscel-
1aneous cars.
''It is probable that a large popor-
ton of the decrease in surplus cars
can be accounted for by the action of
the railroad and coal operators in stor-
ing coal in anticipation of a SUSPENSION
of labor at the coal mines on April 1.
"A few groups, however, show hori-
zontal decreases in all classes of cars,
including an actual improvement in all
lines of traffic in those particular Sec
tions. This improvement is noted in
the southern. middle western and
southwestern groups. In the New
England group the surplus continues
to increase. and the Canadian roads,
which have heretofore shown the
greatest improvement, seem to be
again accommodating idle cars

GREAT BROOM CORN MARKET.
Wichita Actually Claims to Lead the
United States.

Wichita Actually Claims to Lead the
United States.
Wichita, Kan, April 10.-Wichita is
the greatest broom corn market in the
world.
Four years ago this city had no
place on the list of broom corn dealers,
and no one thought Of its becoming
the greatest broom corn center in the
country, and this means in the entire
world, for there is comparatively little
of the product raised outside Of tho
United States.
It is not possible to get the exact
figures regarding the number of tons
of broom corn handled by the Wichita
concerns, but dealers and manufactur-
erS all over the country agree that
more or less of last years crop was
handled by the Wichita firms than Is
handled any other place.
It is given as a conservative esti-
mate that they handled more than
5000 cars this season and greater
number last year because the crop was
better that season.
The value per ton of the broom corn
handled varies kom $35 to $3.50. The
very best dwarf brush bringing the
highest price and the lower grades
bringing from $35 to $65 per ton. tn
value of the crop handled last year
by local dealers was close to $4,000

of the men interested in the business

When A. B. Stickney met the COM

the report followed that English in

ship of the control Of 500 common by

The persistence of the rumor is re-

such deal as quite likely to come
