Grain Cars Needed.

To move the 1919 corn crop, 4l6 600
grain cars will be required, an increase
in freight equipment of 60 per cent
over what was required to move the
1918 crop, according to estimates OF
traffic officials of the federal railroad
administration.
Unless the corn now held by the
farmers can be delivered to the car
riers for transportation to the corn re-
ceiving markets before March 1 it is
feared that the farmers will be so oc-
cupied with their spring work that they
will be unable to deliver the corn to
their local shipping points, which will
result in a shortage that will be re-
flected in higher prices for corn prod
GCtS.
From Nov. /. 1919, to Jan. q, the
receipts of corn at II of the largest
corn markets was but 80, 700 ears.
Loading reports showed that 81 per cent
of the total number of cars loaded in
the grain pelt We're loaded with grain
or grain products. In addition to the
movement OF corn, there is a large
volume of seed grains that must be de-
livered befoVe the planting season be-
gins, railway administration officials
say,
Every available car suitable for
handling grain and every car that can
be repaired so as to hold bulk grain
that can be spared from other sections
of the country is being rushed to the
grain belt. In many instances solid
trains of empty cars are being sent
from far distant points, 1t is estimated
that between 5000 and 5000 empty
grain cars We're taken out Of Memphis
territory. where the shortage was al
ready so acute that at times merchan-
disc freight could not be accepted be-
cause there were no cars available for

FIRST INFLUENZA

Monday.

With only % new cases of influenza
reported to the city health department

the most encouraging day since the

to believe that the days total would
reach so as compared with 70 for Friday
and 1O5 on the preceding day.

day morning when rain and snow

ing of the flu ban, according to Mayor
Paine. DIR. J. l.. Andrews, Of the city
health department, was of the opinion
that had the rain and snow continued
the condition would have proven dsas-
trous. However, the thermom eteT'S rise
during the forenoon and the appear
ance of the sun offset any unwelcome
conditions that might have arisen
Mayor Paine Saturday declared that
only the unforeseen could now prevent
the lifting of the ban as per schedule
announced Friday.

past the peak of the epidemic and that

mayor. "There is but little doubt in

appeal Saturday from Edward Cham

walton of coal cars. Prompt unloading
and return to the mines was urged, as
