In a recent interview H. u. Nudge.
president Of the Chicago, Rock Island

today that he recently stated in New
York that the western railroads are
working on a plan to petition the state
commissions for increased interstate
freight rates.
II did say" declared Mr.. Nudge
today. that the western roads have
been considering the advisability of
asking for increased rates, but I did
not intend to convey the impression
that we are now working on any such
plan, and furthermore, 1t Is very un-
likely that any action will be taken
until after the interstate commerce
commission decides the eastern
freight rate case
Discussing the Rock Island situa-

the crop was a failure last year. Feb

falling off from the corresponding
period Of last year Of 4.3 per cent
Practically every road reporting shows
more or less decrease, the only excep-
sttOns being q few insignificant gains in
the south and southwest, but it is
gratifying to note that losses as a rule
are not very large, and in q number
of instances somewhat less pronounced
than short time ago.
1t may also be noted that railroad
traffic Of late in many sections Of tho
country has been greatly tmpeded by
extremely adverse weather, whereas

ORDERS FOR NEW EQUIPMENT.
Many American Roads in Market foz
Engines and Cars.

Several orders for railway equip
ment. with locomotives forming the
bulk of them. have been placed with
car and engine builders recently. AL
though the delay in rendering the de-
cision in regard to the proposed in
crease In freight rates in eastern ter
ritory has offset the possibility of ex-
tensive orders, many companies are
now looking at the market with great
interest. Among the orders recently
for seventeen Mikado and ten Pacific
type locomotives The order was
placed with the American Locomotive
company. The same railroad is con-
templating ordering 5000 freight
cars. The Chesapeake and Ohio has
also ordered from the same builders
six Mikado and six Pacific type en-
gines. Two consolidated locomotives
are being built by the American COM
pany for export to China. Three en-
gines have been ordered by various
companies from the Baldwin Locomo-
tive works. and the Davenport LOCO
motive works will build one switch
engine for the Lehigh Valley Coal
company. A contract for 157 ore cars
Is reported to have been closed with
the Butte. Anaconda and Pacific, by
the Pressed Steel Car company. The
American Car and Foundry company
will build 100 subway cars for the
New York Municipal railway.
Among other roads which are in the
market for equipment are the Texas
and Pacific for twenty engines, 1900
freight and 100 passenger cars: the
st. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico, for
eighteen locomotives, fifteen passen-
ger and a number of freight cars; the
Western Maryland for twenty-six To-
comotives. and the Denver and Rio
Grande for ten engines. Two impor-
tant foreign inquiries are now pend
ing, one from the Bulgarian govern
ment for fifty passenger and freight
locomotives and one from the Central
Brazil for a like number.
