SEES BIG CROP YIELD
Ne1c York Central President Says 1t
VII SurpaSS Estimates.

W c. Brown president of the New York Cen
trail lines has received advices from railroad men
throughout the West. buc particularly In Nebraska
end Missouri which, he SAID yesterday. lead him
believe that the yield of the principal crops
would be better than the government estimates
He said that he had information that wheat In
Nebraska was thrashing out twenty-seven bushels
TO the acre which is nine bushels more than the
average for the state last year, and added:
Personally 1 believe that the corn crop will
reach $780, 900 bushels, but I don't dare say
thar. because folks already call me a crazy
optimist. While there is question but that the
crops will be very large, the railroads are going
10 handle them without any difficulty
'On our own lines there is steady strong
movement Of traffic. which is slowly improving
The improvement is NOT confined to any particular
class of traffic Notwithstanding the early move
ment of grain from the farms on account OF the
high prices the grain has not reached US yet out
Il should do in about a week-that Is. II should
begin reaching at Buffalo
In 1907. from July TO October, we had constantly
5000 to 5000 loaded cars. destined for either the
Boston & Albany or the Boston & Maine, set out on
sdetracks between Syracuse and Albany. This
year there isn't car set out. although for several
weeks we have been handling as heavy traffc as
did then.
Even supposing that had only the same roll
ing stock and motive power, could handle -
per cent traffic this year than then "lthout
feeling the increase in the least. We have about
400 idle cars on the line OF course those
might be licked up in a day but we have o.Voo ao
ditional under order, coming from the makers
as fasr as they can turn them out But the greatly
increased capacity of tho road for transportation
is due almost entirely 10 additional running ano
passing tracks sidings and the like, especially on
the Boston & Albany
"On that line third track has been laid on every
grade. so that freight trains move continuously
without stopping for passenger traffic. as they used
10 do on the New York Central WELL while the
passenger traffic also moves without interruption
The reduction of grades and double tracking on the
West Shore. between Rochester and Buffalo. will
gfye US a freight line with lower grades than on
the Central's main line. and will practically COM
plete a six-track road between Buffalo and Al
bany."
