No Car Shortage Reported.
The railroad and warehouse com.
mission flguratfvely is keeping it's fin
gers crossed these days because no
complaints are coming in az to car
shortages in moving the biz crops.
The commission early in the shipping
season sent out bulletins of instruc-
ton to shippers showing them how to
avoid shortages. It has learned that
the railroads insisted that their agents
post the bulletins in conspicuous
places and that the elevator men kept
the suggestions in prominent places
where the farmers would see them
and be governed accordingly. The
grain has been moving steadily so far.
Oats, flax and barley have been
shipped in large quantities. Some OF
the wheat is being held for higher
prices, it is said, which may have
something to do with the absence OF
car shortages. When the potato ship
ping season is we'll under way short
age is feared.
