The embargo placed on the hay
and stock shipments has greatly af,
fected the shipments of the Local
railroads. The Grand Trunk before
the embargo was placed had billed
for shipment 1000 tons of hay for
the Prairie farm company which
was to be shipped to eastern points
This amount of hay would be about
100 car loads. This hay cannot be
moved until the embargo is raised
which at the present time does not
seem very far distant.-Saginaw
