While reports from some sources re

Last week the clearings were s5.923.-

for the corresponding week of 1916,
gain of 1928 per cent.
Business keeps up in spite of the fact
that 1t is next to impossible to get cars:
the railroads have been unable by rea-
son Of increasing costs and lack of rev.
enue to supply sufficient equipment and
have not kept pace with the demand.
Senator Ransdell is responsible for
the statement that 95.000,o00 feet of
lumber is piled up at sawmills in
Bogalusa, La. waiting for $4,000 cars.
and that 1900 automobiles are in the
open in Detroit for lack of cars for
shipment. In view of these conditions
1t is rather remarkable that business
continues at its high pace.
All the larger cities report increased
clearings from day to day. while the
heavy expenditures the government will
be making in the near future will make
the aggregate larger.
