look upon the diminution of idle rail-
road cars as hopeful sign OF the
times The lack of "empties' is now
more noticeable than at any time since
the beginning of the year, according
to the report in the current bulletin
OF the American Railway association
Between July 10 and August 2 the
total number of idle cars in the coun-
try was decreased by over 10000. This
brings the total surplus of the coun
try down to little more than 10000
Coal cars were in greatest demand
during the period just mentioned
Iowa shows an increase of the number
of empty box cars accumulated. This
is due to the preparations being made
to care for the grain crop.
