SHORTAGE OF CARS
SHOWN IN REPORT
Deficiency Reaches High Rate
in the East and
South.

NEW YORK, oct. 23.-Railroad, trade
and financial circles here are eagerly
discussing the significance of the state
ment of the car efficiency committee
of the American Railway Association,
which, reviewing conditions to October
l3, shows that there IS a shortage Of
%, 431 cars, the largest sectional short
age recorded in the past two years.
This shortage is noted in the East
and South, while the West and North
west show surplus of 35,91I cars. The
shortage is now less than One-third of
what It was two years ago, when no
surplus was recorded. There seems TO
be no doubt that the railroads are car
rying as much freight as they did in
1907.
The shortage is 1922 cars more than
it was a year ago, and the surplus has
been diminished IAN cars in the past
two weeks. If any serious shortage OC-
ours this fan, 1t now seems likely that
ii win fan upon the cOal-transpOrting
roads.
Since it appeared early this year that
an abnormal shortage was imminent the
roads have been struggling energetic
ally with the problem of replacing old
cars and adding TO their equipment
The average demand of the trade is
being well supplied. and the roads are
going a long way to meet the extraOr-
binary demand Of the present season.

Close at Bottom.
The weak closing was a distinct dis
appointment to the bulls who had look
ed for a rally. It created an unhealthy
opinion in the minds of those who look
for a cause. Some careful and conser-
vative traders took it as meaning that
there was something radically wrong
in Denmark" but were unable to place
the guess anywhere. The decline could
not be laid at the door of the bank
statement, for the reserve showed an
increase Of six millions, largely from the
interior, Chicago having sent a bunch
Of cash to the metropolis this week. The
loans decreased nearly nine millions.
Wall Street is unused TO severe de-
cllnes these days and trick breaks a s to-
aay startle the Street and cause opin-
ions probably more radical than the ex-
act situation may warrant. Probably
the street misses a great speculative
