TREMENDOUS BOON
N FREIGHT. TRADE
BIG EASTERN RAILWAYS REPORT
GREATEST BUSINESS IN
RECENT YEARS.
FRElGHTAGE BY SEA
ALSO GREATLY INCREASED
Exports From New York Reach
Dazzling Total-Tramp Ships Pressed
Into Service to Relieve Situation
Trans. Atlantic Liner Turned Back to
Europe Soon After Arrival.

New York, Oct. ga general re-
vival of freight traffic, unequaled since
1907, is reported by almost every rail-
road entering New York City or with
terminals on the New Jersey shore.
Many extra men have been added to
the fioodtide of business.
AT the office of the Erie it was said
tonnage figures for last month showed
the business done in September, 1915,
was the greatest ever recorded on the
books of the company.
Tonnage on the Baltimore and Ohio
of shipments to New York and for ex
port has increased 40 per cent, 1t was
said. within the last ninety days.
The New Haven is moving more
freights today than for years before
The New York Central Lines report
business so good that hundreds of ex-
ira men have been added to handle the
traffic and that deliveries Of the 5000
to 10000 cars recently ordered are be-
ing hurried to care for the traffic.
Traffic Flood Growing.
On the Jersey Central the volume is
equal to the previous high record Of
the company. and there is steady in
creasing flood Of traffic greater than
any recorded in years.
In railroad circles it was reported
that seldom in the history Of TIE Penn
sylvania railroad had its volume Of
business been equaled.
Steamship companies have pressed
into service every possible craft to
carry the enormous volume of exports
across the Atlantic and are working
the vessels at top speed.
Tramp Steamers Used.
A great marv trans Atlantic pas
senger liners have been taken Off but
their places have been filed as far as
possible by ehartering other vessels.
from coastwise craft to tramp steam
ers and even sailing ships.
It is no uncommon thing for a trans
Atlantic liner to be turned hack to
England within forty eight hours after
its arrival.
Every vessel that sails out OF New
York harbor these days for Europe,
from clipper to liner. rides low in the
water with a cargo crowding its holds.
Merchandise exports from this port
last month broke all previous records.
Ihelr value was 3lb3,O0U,oot. In sep
temher. 1914 they were little under
$50. 100000.
Goods Piled on All Piers.
Most of the big shipments coming to
New York are for export. and the
shortage of ships has been almost
acute, though conditions today are re-
ported as better than month ago.
There is hardly a pier in the city where
merchandise is not piled high. Enor-
nous shipments of steel and grain have
poured into New York over the New
York Central lines within the last
fortnight.
Along the New Haven. especially at
Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven and
other manufacturing centers. the VOL
ume OF shipments-mostly munitions
is In quantities without precedent.
Many solid trainloads Of munitions
roll over this line to New York City
every day, an official Of the road said,
and men in the traffic department are
working day and night to move them
promptly.

Avoiding Danger in Mines.

It is fairly a problem to install mo
tors, controllers and other apparatus
in mines in such a way as to avoid the
danger of igniting fre damp. Modern
practice in Europe now provides three
protecting methods-all Enclosed, part
~ inclosed, with use Of wire gauze
plates, and oil bath apparatus. Vari.
GUS apparatus, such as transformers.
controllers and switches, need to have
a special design for use in mines, not
only on account of fire damp. but be-
cause OF prevailing dampness and
mist.

Chicaxo, Oct. 23.-Fresh declines took
place In the wheat market today owing
to good weather northwest and contin-
ued big receipts. Strength in Liver
pool, however. tended to give values
here a little support 1t was denied
that any important amount Of supplies
was forthcoming from Russia. The
opening, which ranged from II to Il
cent lower, with December at SO Is TO
81. and May at s1.o2 to s1.o21s, was fol-
lowed by moderate further loss and
then something of reaction.
The close was steady, ~ and rs to
2A cents net lower, with December at
97A and May at 1.00h.
Corn.
Hope of European business lifted
corn. Besides the stock on hand here
was expected to show a fair decrease
for the week. After opening unchanged
to "A cent higher. the market scored a
slight general advance.
The close was weak at y to IA
cents net decline.
Oats.
Oats were steadied by the strength OF
corn. Persistent selling by one of the
chief elevator companies had but little
effect on prices.
Provisions.
Higher prices for hogs helped provi-
sions up grade. Buying, tho, was small.

Clay e,rd W, Live B,rd speed.

Clay giro w. Live OvTo 0POO0s
In comparing trap with wingshooe'
ing the contrasts are what stand out
most prominently Some Of these are
rather interesting to note: The clay
bird is going fastest when 1t leaves
the trap and loses speed very rapidly;
the real bird is going least fast when
it gets up and gains speed rapidly. It
is estimated that the former has an
initial velocity OF $50 feet per second,
whereas the real bird starts with only
the spring impaired by its legs. IN
spite of this tremendous advantage at
the start, however, It is amazing to
see how quickly the real bird catches
up; a clay bird will travel about Is
feet the first second and at the end Of
that time quail flushed at the same
instant would be only 25 feet behind
it and ruffed grouse from Is to 20
feet behind.-Outing. n
