Shortage in Cars Is
Causing Shippers Trouble

shippers are finding a perceptible
shortage in the supply of cars. The
net surplus of cars October L, accord
ing to the American Railway Asso-
citation, was 1929. against $4,000
September 1, and it is understood that
this surplus has since been heavily re-
duced. The surplus Is not distributed
evenly over the country, but in some
sections, especially where traffic is
heavy, a decided shortage is expert
enced. Coming thus early in the sea-
son, it may be expected that when the
movement of grain approaches its
maximum complaints from shippers
will be general.
