According to reports. June has made
the best showing in railroad equipment
orders for tho first half OF the current
year. Estimates indicate the number
of cars contracted for this month Will
aggregate nearly 10000. as compared
with $500 in May. 10000 In April, 5000
in March, 1880 in February and TO-
600 In January. total OF $4,000 for the
first half year. This Is at the rate OF
$4,000 for the full year. which Is CON
siderably under the average. Last

the event the railroad rate decision
causes the equipment business to picle
UP. the years showing should be better
