GENERAL TRAFFIC CONGESTION

In New York alone 1886 ships are

for coal. They take on an average OF
from 1000 to 5000 tons OF coal--or
almost all the available coal around
New York.
Then the big freeze came and South
Amboy. N, j., the principal port for
bunker coal, was made accessible.
In the meantime freight trains kept
coming to tidewater and, as there were
no ships to take their loads, they eth
er remained on the tracks, or their
freight was dumped on the New Jer-
sey meadows, so the much-needed cars
could be sent back west.
1t is claimed there are 10000 car
loads of munitions and supplies await
inc slIinment at Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport
News and Norfolk. OF this vast
amount, SO, 900 arc for Pcrshtng ana
