REFRIGERATORS CARS
SCARCE, SAY SHIPPERS

Louisville, Nov. 11.-Testifying be-
fore Commissioner c. c. McChord Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
here this morning, X. G. Phillips, sec
retary of the international Apple Ship
ners' Association, declared that in spite
of a short crop Of all sorts Of perish
able products there is a greater short
age of refrigerator car equipment on
the railroads of the country than was
ever known before.
Great difficulty, he said, had been ex-
perienced throughout the fruit ship
ming season in securing the necessary
refrigerator car equipment. and ap-
peals to the railroads to remedy the
situation had not been productive OF
results.
He read from kilograms from rail-
roads in the Northwest statements that
the shortage of refrigerator equipment
on those lines was caused by the fail
IRE of Eastern connections TO return
cars.
Mr.. Phillips declared he had reason
TO believe the situation was further
complicated by the use of refrigerator
cars in the shipment of non-perishable
commodities, citing several instances to
uphold his assertion.

The final session OF the week was a
decidedly dull and uninteresting AFFAIR.
Trading was on small scale and con-
fined almost entirely to the local pro-
fessional element. Prices moved spas
medically within narrow limits and at
the end succeeded in getting nowhere
in particular.
After an irregular opening a slightly
frmer tendency was in evidence and
prices Gained from to 10 points. Wall
Street houses seemed to have fair
amount of buying orders, and New Or
leans people did little arbitrage buy
ing. 1t was also noticed that Liverpool
interests were buying the far distant
futures, especially October.
There was practically nothing in the
news TO stimulate activity on either
side, although some Of the buying was
probably based on expectations that
Memphis Commercial Appeal would is
sue a low crop estimate tomorrow. On
this early advance the local profess
sional crowd became somewhat aggres-
sive sellers, and it was believed that
part of the selling was on the short
side.
Some of the offerings also came from
the South, and it was said that cotton
factors, having secured their spot cot
ton. were selling out the hedges pre-
viously bought in this market. Little
of Importance was heard from Southern
spot markets, although New Orleans re-
ported good spot sales on Friday night

Wheat.-As frequently the case on
Saturdays in the recent past, the wheat
markets were decidedly two-sided.
Much of the trading was confined to
scalpers and room traders, and promi-
nent interests were comparatively idle.
In other words, small operators, who
generally contine themselves to weekly
operations, were inclined to liquidate
over the holiday. This was largely in
dicated by the numerous comparatively
narrow advances and recessions.
AT the beginning of the session there
was a strong upward trend, prices ris-
ing lhc. with striking rapidity, but
before noon the offerings became much
larger and recessions of 2hc. ensued.
Then came rebound of / q. another
dip of 1 y and final rally Of &c. The
initial buoyancy was attributed chiefly
to Argentina advices, the crop esti-
mates in that country being reduced,
various authorities placing the total at
% 100000 to 30.000,00O bushels, against
l00,000,000 year ago. Nevertheless
the market weakened subsequently on
reports OF a decline OF &c. in Rosario
This indicated that many holders in
that country we're taking in profits, and
naturally numerous holders here also
became anxious 10 realize. which was
considered only natural after such an
extraordinary advance.
The subsequent partial recovery was
ascribed 10 shorts covering contin-
ued light primary receipts, while ship
ments are large into consumptive chan
nels, both here and abroad and, there
fore. there will probably be a reduction
in the visible supply on Monday. In
addition. the worlds shipments for the
week are expected to be limited, and a
decrease in the quantity on passage is
anticipated. Moreover. it was stated
that exporters were in receipt Of large
orders for hard winter wheat and also
fer Canadian, and, besides, they are
said 10 be buying futures in this coun-
try and in Winnipeg. Definite particu-
lars were not readily obtainable, but it
was the general belief that more than
100000 bushels of hard winter had
been contracted for and possibly as
much OF Canadian. In addition, il
leaked out that close TO 100000 bush
els of native wheat and Canadian were
contracted for By foreign agents Fri
