the railroads running into North To-
peka this year. according to railroad Of
ficials and North side millers. At the
beginning Of the wheat shipping period
it was feared that the grain shipments
would be 10 heavy that the supply Of
cars would not fill the demand.
However. the close cooperation be-
tween the millers and railroads in the
quick unloading. moving and unloading
OF cars did much toward avoiding the
trouble. The Union Pacific purchased
. large amount Of new rolling stock last
spring and placed much Of 1t in the
Kansas division.
More than 200 carloads Of wheat was
handled by the Union Pacific during
the month Of Au6uat. 1914, destined to
Topeka-just double the number hand
led during August, 1913.

this year the wheat movement is
heavier this year than last. However,
it is more gradual than expected owing
to the fact that FARMERS are holding
their grain for higher prices.
