LOCOMOTIVE CONTRACT

Chicago. Ill, Feb. 3.-Concrete evil
dence OF increased prosperity came
yesterday in the form of an order for
s1.5OO.OOO worth of locomotives for
the Illinois Central railroad. The or
der was let to the Lima Locomotive
corporation. a comparatively new COM
petitor in the manufacture of locomo-
tives. The order calls for so locomo-
tives of the mikado type. The engines
will be delivered as fast as they can
be turned out
In addition to the order let by the
Illinois Central came other reports OF
large purchases by the railroads. A
director of a railroad said that numer-
Gus contracts had been let by the rail-
roads during the month of January
and many others will be made during
this month.
Contrary to the general opinion. the
director reported that the railroads
have large amounts of cash on hand
and the rate increase has relieved the
tension so they may spend some of
