As n result of the notifications that have been adopted by the committee there are many commodities thut arc now accepted for shipment into New England that were formerly on the ex. clu ed list. The object of the commit. tee has been to relieve the situation existing OH the New Haven road in the first place. and tn permit shipments into New England of freight already held bv connecting lines in the next place, aud finally to open up this tern. tory for new freight as fast as the sit- uatiun war; uts.
 In making these notifications the committee has been endeavuring to i'm. press upon shippers and consignees the nect ssity of loading freight to the fullest capacity of the cars in order to keep down the number of cafs. The shippers have also been urged 10 send forward no more freight than s actually needed for immediate business. and fl ally to unload promptly. In co. operating with the committee in these ways, 1t is hoped that tho normal situ. ution will soon be again m evidence
