SHORTAGE OF FREIGHT
CARS IS BEING FELT
Manufacturers and Shippers General
Iy All Over the United States
Are Alarmed at Threatened

Manufacturers and shippers gener-
ally all over the United States are
alarmed at II threatened freight car
shortage, which they fear will ser
Iouslv injure the winter trade move
ment, which is rapidly assuming most
prosperous proportions, careful inyes-
tfeation Of the views held by local
traffic officials Of the railroads and
commercial organizations disctoses
tbo fact that the shortage of equip
mont is already being felt.
Thamc authorities in this city are
unanimous in their comments to the
effect that the outlook for the winter
months is unfayorablc Despite the
lab6rs of both The carriers and the
larger shippers to facilitate the move
ment of freight, the visible tonnage
is far in excess of the available car
supply While it is not believed that
the situation will become as serious
as it was in 1907, it is admitted by
practically all of the traffic depart
ment officials of the railroads that the
present condition and the prospect
for an ever-increasing volume Of
freight makes the outlook appear
most discouraging.
Authentic reports which have been
received here Indicate that there is
considerable congestion at the pres
ent time in the railroad terminals at
Chicago, Kansas City. Minneapolis,
Duluth and Toledo This is due in
greater part of course, to the sud
den rush of spring wheat from the
Northwest but the congestion is not
limited by any means to these com
modities. In North Dakota, however,
the largest wheat tonnage for a
single state is beginning to be ship
ped, the crop reaching to 100000, 600
! bushels.
