ension in the granite manufacturing

Diverse shipping conditions threatened
erious results. Already many manufac
urers who had despaired Of relieving
he'd congestion until after April | have
hipped their last piece of finished
rsnite and are working busily on
pring orders. Others upon whom fin
he'd work had piled up rapidly since
he first of the year have received as
lany ears as they could handle conve-
iently and have little to worry about.
asst week more than $50 cars were re-
lived over the NJ 4 w r. railroad and
he alacrity with which the shippers
oeyed the order to load as rapidly az
ossible resulted in early shipments
eginning yesterday shipments will be
most continuous until the stock of fin
he'd work is practically cleaned up.
