MONEY BECOMES EASIER AND ALL LINES OF BUSINESS RE-
 PORT EXPANSION.
BUMPER CROPS RESPONSIBLE
Railroads Take on Men by Thousands and Add Largely to Their Equip ment-Rase in Freight Rates

(WNO News SerNtceO
 Chicago, July 1S.-Statements by railroad heads and other men in charge of transportation and allied in- terests show that business, big and little, in the middle west has begun to hum under the stimulus of the crops
 Money is circulating more freely jobs left vacant through the period of "watohful waiting are being filled and large transactions which have been permitted for months to hang fire are being closed
 The immediate reflection of bump CT crops is shown by the railroads Car manufacturers and railway of. ficials throughout the country are in. oreasing their operating forces and the working time of their plants Three thousand cars of wheat have arrived in Chicago so far this week, the largest receipts in a decade.
 Another thing that is causing jubi. lance in railroad circles is the belief that with the settlement of the per cent advance freight rates case this week confidence will be restored to such a degree that transportation con- ditions will return to normal.
 The Inland Steel company, the Hi nois Steel company, the Pullman com pany and other great industrial cor porations of Illinois have received re- gently marked increase in orders.
 Add 800 to Force.
 Three hundred men were put to work in the freight department of the Standard Steel Car companys plant at Hammond, Ind. raising the total number now employed to 1000. Pros poets are said to be good for the plac ing of another large shift within two weeks to handle the expected busi- ness increase.
 Last month total of 16055 orders for new freight cars was placed by the roads with the various car fac tories of the country, as compared with S,154 in May The New York Central purchased 5000 freight cars in June, while the Illinois Central placed orders for 5000 all-steel box cars
 The Union Pacific is figuring on a purchase of about 5000 freight ears The Illinois Central expects to rebuild with steel under-frames a total of 10000 cars this year The Chicago X Northwestern has. undertaken the same program Rock Island expects to have 5000 cars rebuilt.
 The C., NJ. & St Paul this week in creased the working time of 2,000 men employed in the roads shops at Milwaukee from eight to eight and one-half hours.
 According to R. V. Taylor, presi- dent of the Mobile & Ohio, $5,000,o00 has been set aside for the construc- ton of new bridge across the Ohio river at Cairo, H. lie also announced that the Mobile & Ohio would spend S1,122,000 for new equipment.
 Here Is what officials of the C., B. X Q say about conditions:
 "The wheat and oats crops are very large This means an extra amount of money throughout the middle west Prospects never have been better in this country west of the Mississippi ~
 From the general office of the Santa Fe came this statement:
 "The bumper wheat crop in our ter ritory has put things on much bet ter basis than a year ago We have been putting on additional men in

Interpretinq an Advance.

While it seems improbable that the Com
merce Commission will hand down de-
cision which can be classified as giving a
definite per cent average advance, the
chances favor an Interpretation by the
commission itself in nOn-technical form
of the conclusions at which it has arrived.
Possibly. too, it will be found, in the
event Of increases being granted, that they
may be averaged so as TO approximate a

putations already referred TO ought to be
a pretty good guide. They show, on the

banking house which was announced yes

from the firm had been kept secret for

trol Of the Grand Trunk Railway OF Can

here is that his former firm had 10 stand

Concernina a Rate Increase.

There has just been brought out IN

a statistical analysis Of the effect OF
freight rate advances on earnings OF
twelve railroads i'm Eastern classification
territory. The book fulfils its design by
showing at a glance the financial Dement'S
which may be derived by each of the COM
NAMES involved, if the Commerce Commits
sion grants an increase, and the percent
age of gain on each Company's common
stock. Calculations are given on the basis
of a per cent increase. of a IL per cent
increase and so on, by halves of l per
cent. up to full 8. In the foreword there
is shown just what the railroads have
asked for and what they have accepted
for the time. To provide against de-
cison involving an irregular advance a
revenue classification table is given with
each railroads other figures, which in
itself and apart from any question OF
higher rates ought to be Of value to in

Circumstantial Report Helps to

Before the rate increase story got def
mite again the stock market had the usual
saturday appearance, and in the first
hour OF trading only the moderate amount
Of $4,000 shares or so changed hands.
But by the beginning Of the second hour
everybody had it that the Commerce Com
mission was 10 announce its decision at .
o'clock in the Afternoon. The result was a
total of 100000 shares or more between
II and II o'clock. What surprised many
was the relatively small advance scored.
IL has been common talk that there was
a large and unterrifed short interest. The
market yesterday. however. did not reflect
any unusual proportions in the short &C
count. on the contrary, it seemed TO
show only a moderate retirement Of shorts
notwithstanding the heavy dealings of the
later morning: either that or an available
supply of stocks much larger than there
was supposed TO be.
