CANADA SUFFERS
FROM SHORTAGE
OF FREIGHT CARS

tspEciht CONSEQUENCES TO MORNING JOURNAL
ottawa, Ontario. Dec. 2S.--Shortage
of freight cars in the United States
has made it difficult to secure the re-
turn of Canadian cars going into the
states. This is especially true of
stock cars, and is aggravating a stu
alton which the Canadian National
Railways is making every effort TO
overcome.
The demands upon railway equip
ment during the past two months has
been particularly heavy, due to a
variety of causes. Strikes in the Ca
madam coal mines and the early Sc
we're weather throughout the west
caused an unprecedented demand for
coal on short notice.
This severe weather has caused an
unusually heavy and sudden move
ment of stock and in grain market
ing. Some of the stock has been
moved to feeder districts, and some
sold, while the increased expectation
of wheat has added to the burden of
the railways.
The fuel situation. while serious,
has an encouraging side. Shortage of
anthracite coal production in the
United States has caused an increased
demand for the bituminous coal of
western Canada and the consequent
great development of the mines.
Preference in car supply and move
ment is being given to fuel, feed and
stock and every possible effort is be-
ing made to provide quick service to
all parts OF the dominion. The whole
Canadian National Railways system
is being worked at top speed and the
situation is improving daily.
