RAILROADS SEEING COAL.
Confiscatins Shipments For Central
Iowa, Eearinc Strike.

Cedar Rapids. Oct. 24-Diversion of
cars to the head Of the great lakes and
the reported conhscation Of coal ship
ments consigned to Cedar Rapids and
central Iowa is taken to indicate that
the managements OF the railways are
anticipating an early shortage Of coal.
II not actual deprivation Of that ne
cessity.
A car Of high-grade coal purchased
in the east and consigned to a Cedar
Rapids coal concern, and Of a quality
that Is not ordinarily purchased for
locomotive use, was confscated by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railway Company as
It was passing thru Ohio. en- route to
Cedar Rapids. Local coal dealers an
nounced Thursday that many such
cases had been reported during the
past fortnight.
Cars that have been in service in
certain portions Of Iowa are being
transported to the head Of the lakes IN
quest Of coal. It is reported by Cedar
Rapids railroad men Thursday. Hun
dreds Of cars from the Cedar Rapids
territory are now in the coal regions
waiting to be loaded with coal-but
will they be7 This is the problem that
is worrying local dealers.
Comparatively little coal has been
stored here by railway lines entering
Cedar Rapids. for use during the win
ter months. Usually large quantities
Of fuel are gathered during the sum-
mer months. but this practice has be-
come an exception this year, accord
ing to railway men. Rail- officials an
ticipated that there would be no diff
fculty IN procuring any quantity OF
coal desired at any time during the
year, It Is stated by railway men here
War activities having been suspended,
It was assumed by the railway heads
that fuel would be plentiful at all
times.
It is admitted that If there should be
a general strike of the miners the roads
would be faced with the probability
Of being compelled to suspend opera
lions Of many trains and possibly all
OF them.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Corn shorts wSe
disturbed by the prospect Of bad
weather, believing that the movement
Of new corn would be delayed and that
farmers would be prevented from
husking. The market was. therefore,
strong from the beginning. and closed
at fractional advance. The current
delivery showed the most strength.
Whether or not the farmer will sell
freely at present prices continues to
confuse the issue. Receipts Of new
corn showed a moderate increase, and
country sales today were Of substan-
tial proportions.
Oats-Oats were. very dull within the
narrowest range IN weeks. Reports
from foreign markets indicate excess
sive supplies.
Provistons-Hogs opened stronger
