Freight congestion in Barre was meas
lreably abated this morning when 26
empties" arrived over the NJ. & w. r.
abroad. Granite manufacturers viewed
he appearance of the cars with satisfac-
ion, as it means that the jam in finished
,arre granite will be relieved in de-
rec. although the situation on the Cen
raj Vermont road remains acute. 1t was
eported to-day that an embargo on
reight over the Delaware & Hudson road
as been declared There are indica-
ions that the increase in demurrage
hsrges from SO to S. per day, which
as put into effect in December, has re-
uced to minimum the old time prac
ce OF delaying the unloading of cars.
bnormal transportation demands con-
nue. and embargoes remain in force at
estern terminals. but conditions do not
,mpare with the congestion which ex. ,
ted some months ago and locally heavy ,
lippers are optimistic over the outlook q
IT spring shipments.
