IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS SHOWN
BY YLACK OF CARS TO MOVE FRE1cr,
Shortage on Railroads Of United States and Canada w
2O,551 on First Of Present Observation-Disclosures
Trade Balance S4,130 $50 in February

Concrete evidence of the prosperous
business conditions now prevailing in the
country Ia contained in the idle-car state
ment Of the American Railways Associa-
ton as of March I. The statement shows
that OH the first of the present month there
was a net shortage of freight cars on the
railroads of the United states and Can
ada of 2055i, compared with net surplus
Of 21,4s5 on February /.
The change In conditions from a year
ago is very clearly Indicated when 1t is
taken into consideration that on March
l, 1915, there was a net surplus of idle
cars on siding Of the railroads of 321747
on April 1 last year there were 3270S4
idle cars and since that time the amount
has been steadily decreased, the demands
on the railroads for the movement of
freight taking all of the cars.
The box car shortage was the largest
of the total last month The principal
shortage OF this type Of car was west of
Chicago. particularly in the Northwest.
West of Chicago the box car shortage
has increased 1000 since February 1. The
coal car shortage in the East more than
doubled
In taking into consideration the large
number of cars which are now needed II
must be noted that large number Of them
are tied up in freight yards loaded with
goods bound for Europe which cannot be
unloaded because of the lack Of ships. Do
nestle business has also improved and the
demands for cars for the movement of
freight in the United States is very large.
The foreign trade If the port of Phla-
delphia continues to expand. Figures
came out today on the business done with
foreign countries during February. They
