BIG AUTO SHIPMENTS.

Further proof of the enormous eve
nue. which the railroads get from the
automobile industry is found in the
United States Motor Company's traffic
statement for April, During the TWEEN
ty-fiye business days of last month the
company shipped 1882 carloads of au-
tomobiles and 10i railroads shared in
this traffic.
The total volume was nearly 300 car
loads greater han in March, showing
that the striking figures presented by
the United States Motor Company for
March did not apply~to~a period of UNI
usually high tonnage. About $4,000
was the railroad revenue from a single
days traffic of this company, involv-
ing 10S carloads.
When it is shown that 1882 carloads
were handled by the roads in twenty
five business days, an average Of III
carloads per day, the great traffic OF
the entire automobile industry car
readily be appreciated. These figures
do not include shipments of raw ma
terial, parts, supplies or accessories
They cover only the outbound finished
cars.
