GLIDING Fridays loading there were
4425 cars of coal and coke loaded
-4315 cars Of coal and ITO cars
OF coke. The mines Of the division
may possibly load 5000 cars OF GOA
and coke with today's tonnage, but
It will hardly run much over that
figure. Coke loading is keeping ur
fairly well and it's aggregate this
week may reach 100 cars.
The coal production in the West
Virginia district of the Mononga
hela railway will probably reach
close to the 1900 car mark, poss'
IDLY stronger than last week. which
aggregated 1928 cars.
Along the western Maryland
spurs the coal production will bare
~ go much over the 500 car mark.
Car supply has been erratic this
week and the placements at time
have been none to favorable.

made off the B. & o. railroad on
Friday: Curtis Bay, 252 cars; st.
Georges IS cars; lakes, 1872 cars;
Michigan points, s cars; Ohio

tern points. As cars.
Railroad Fuel.
Railroad fuel shipments off the
B. & o. railroad on Friday totaled
asa cars. Railroad fuel shipments
this week have been rather heavy.

lions that made commercial cars
SO scarce recently. Exclusive OF
today's railroad fuel loading there
has been 1910 carloads shipped out
of the region this week thus far.

total Is rather high and probably

the past three days.
