INDUSTRIES THREATENED
(continued From Page one.)

Ndeal this fall and winter with one of.
the worst shortages of freight cars in.
THE history of the United States. The
gross car shortage reported on Aug. l.,
19l6, is the largest, the gross surplus
is the smallest and the net surplus is
lthe smallest ever reported on that date
lisince statistics regarding these mat.
,ters have been kept. The net surplus
Twas only 1866 cars. The smallest
net surplus previously reported on
August I was that Of 1907, which was
| R7,S36 cars, and in the fall of that
year there was a severe car shortage,
the net shortage rising on Oct. 80,
1907, to $4,000 cars.
Past experience seems to indicate
that whenever the net surplus in the
early part of August is less than 1O0,-
300 cars there is pretty sure to be a
net shortage beginning in October or
the early part of November There
were only three. years from 1907 to
1915, inclusive, when the net surplus
ion August ! was less than this. These
were 1907, 1912 and 1913, and in every
pne Of them there was car shortage
jim the late fall and early winter.
Other "Short" Years"
The figures regarding car shortages
and net surpluses on August / for the
last 10 years are as follows:

PREDICT THAT HOGS
WILL GO TO $500

Seattle, Feb. 5.-The perdiction
Of u. s. government officials that
the hog market of the country was
sure to show signs of strength at an
early date has come true. Hoga
are now bringing s7.75 in the Puget
Sound market and 1t is generally
conceded that shipments are 80 limi-
ted that it will be necessary In an
other forty or sixty days to begin
shipping from Missouri river points.
Freight and shrinkage will add
about 81 90 to the price with the
result that it is predicted the price
will be 5000 or even more by early
spring. The government is going
to every length to induce the grow
ers to renew their activities and
there is every indication that they
are taking kindly to the advice.
The government has always contend
ed that it is q serious mistake for
growers to even temporarily aban-
don the raising of hogs notwith-
standing that wheat prices were
soaring and hogs were not bringing
the prices they should. This condi-
ton, the government contended, was
only temporary and that It would be
only a short time when wheat would
go down in price and hogs would &c
, up. This prediction 8 certainly
coming true as to the advance in hog
prices and students of market condi
tions are sure that the wheat price
are liable to take q slump most an!
time. War alone, it is contended, j
largely responsible for the high grail
prices. But even Europe has stoppe'
; buying our wheat and is depending
+ on its own crops and those that ca

SAYS THAT NOSE

The Boise correspondent Of the
