WESTERN RAILROADS
GROW PROSPEROUS
Fall Crops Promise to Increase
Traffic; Earnings Far Ahead
Of Last Year
Special to The TeIeerdbh

Chicago, July S.-The railroads
throughout the west and southwest
last week showed an almost uniform
increase in earnings over the preceding
week, a. reflection, say officials of the
generally improved conditions in the
east which has given rise to a stimu-
lus countrywide in scope and sub
stantial enough to carry the roads over
until the Fall, when prospective heavy
movements of grain are counted upon
to swell receipts to figure equal to,
IL not above those of last year.
In spite of the dark outlook, which
during the Spring predicted heavy
losses for roads west of the Mississip-
pi reports from the majority of roads
indicate falling off in earnings of
no more than per cent. from those of
last year; in fact, in some cases the
railroads have earned within per
cent. of the previous years showing.
While this years crops will scarcely
be so large as those of 1914, according
to present estimates, and the harvest
will be later than that of year ago,
the feeling is prevalent that the crop
will be well up to normal, and the
railroads are looking for capacity car
riage with greater proportional net
earnings as q result of the system of
rigorous economies instituted in the
past few months.

Unsatisfactory Treatment
of Prisoners Continues

Berlin, July Z, via London, July g.
Reports of continued unsatisfactory
treatment of German prisoners of war
by the French have resulted in the
German government adopting further
lretaliatory measures in an effort to
secure better conditions for them.
The case foremost in publication
here is that of the German cavalry
patrol headed by Lieutenant Won
lSchierstaedt and Count Trachwitz,
who were caught behind the French
lines in the retirement from the
Marne, and sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary for appropriating the
food on which they lived during their
three weeks of wanderings before they
surrendered. Lieutenant Won Schier-
staedts sentence provided that he be
transported to the penal colony in
French Guiana. The members of the
patrol, despite all efforts to change
their sentence are still confined in the
military penitentiary at Avignon, 1t is
reported, and are treated the same as
French military criminals. Lieut. Won
Shcierstaedt is said to have gone In
sane under the treatment and to;
have been sent to an asylum.
Six French officers to-day were
transferred in retaliation to the mill
tary prison at Spandau. They will be
given the same treatment as the pat
rol members until the latter are trait
ed as regular prisoners of war, it is
announced.

Improvement in Steel Trades
To Continue Says Iron Age

Continued Improvement In the steel
trades is predicted in the Iron Age this
morning. In part that journal says:
Developments of the week show a
conditions and prospects. Increasing
production, accompanied by increasing
demand, indicates that the summer
months will show no letdown. They
may even be marked by activity on a
larger scale.
Steel manufacturers are more con-
fident OF holding the advanced prices
in heavy products, and consumers who
these rather as helps in dragging the
market up from the low levels than as
prices be paid, are more impressed by
the fuller taking up of capacity.
THE pig iron statistics show plainly
the expansion in steel production. In
the thirty days of June the output was
2,3S0,S27 gross tons. or 1851 tons a
day, gain of 6,346 tons a day over
May, Steel works furnaces contributed
nearly $500 tons of this increase. There
blast furnaces last month and the
capacity of the 21S furnaces in blast
July / was SO,411 tons day against
75,64S tons a day for 206 furnaces one
a day in February, 1913.
Pig iron production Is now at the
rate of 29,50O.0OO tons a year. against
27.4OO, 600 tons on June l and 100000
Rail and car business has been rela-
lively quiet The Rock Island has
bought 10000 tons of rails and the
10000 tons of steel has been bought in
the Chicago district. British export
rails have been quoted as high as $42.50
at works port
Bids go in July 16 on $4,000 to 10000
tons Of rails for New York subway sys-

Annual Fruit and
Vegetable Rush on

The annual rush of perishable fruits
and vegetables through the city from
New York State and western points to
the seaboard is commencing in earnest
and the transfer is expected to swell
the total freight movement during July
far above that of previous months.
Fast trains loaded principally with
potatoes are being run on passenger
schedule over the Northern Central
from New York State. In the early
morning these trains return loaded
with watermelons, canteloupes and
other delicacies from the South.
Coal movements, especially on the
Northern Central. are also unusually
heavy. and old railroaders are con-
fident that July will be the banner
freight movement month.
