PLAN EFFECTIVENESS IN
RAILROADS. OPERATING

An average daily minimum move
ment of freight cars of not less than
thirty miles per day is the aim first
stated in the program of the rail-
roads for more transportation.
To increase the average loading of
cars to thirty tons per car is the
second aim in this program.
Statistics show that the average car
loading on all railroads in the United
States is only about 20 per cent of
the carrying capacity of the car.
Furthermore, about 81 per cent of
the total freight car mileage is made
with empty cars:
An average increase of only one ton
per each loaded car would be equiva-
lent to the addition of 10000 new cars
to the available supply.
The average loading per loaded
freight car in 1919 was 2I.S tons.
If this average were raised to thirty
tons, it is estimated that the total
ton mileage would be increased from
$50, 900, 900, 900 to 426,000.o00 900.
This great increase would be ac-
complished without any other change
in handling of cars than is involved
in the increased load.
The combined effect of increased
daily mileage to thirty miles and of
loading each car to thirty tons would
be to increase the capacity of the
railroads to $4,000, 100000 ton miles.

ON TRADING
PREDICT AUTUMN RISE
Commercial Agencies Expect Prog

of Prices.

NEW YORK. August IS (SpeciaD.-
Although trade continues irregular.
business in general looks forward to
the autumn to bring a revival. in the
opinion OF the commercial reporting
agencies, Duns Review and Brad
streets agree that the scope of the
Improvement will depend largely upon
the action of prices. The fall trade
Still lacks both form and force, they
say. although in many markets it is
noted that shipments on fall accounts
on previously booked orders exceed
the volume of new business.
Bradstreet's has this to say of the
situation:
Trade and industry continue irreg-
ular. with rather more quiet condi-
tons visible insa number Of lines as
August draws to close. On the
other hand. several rather favorable
features deserve mention in order
that the exhibit should not be re-
garded as an entirety gloomy one.
The really big developments of the
week are. indeed. rather outside Of
the line of purchasing and manufac-
ture, these including a very decided
gain by the railroads in the matter of
clearing up past and present conges-
ton, the going into effect of the new
and higher freight rates, and, slim
ulated thereby. the apparent parting
of the railways from the industrials
as regards strength and market ac-
tivity, and the slightly better tone
of the bond market, especially in rail-
way securities. No special activity is.
Of course. possible in financial lines
with money rates held SO firmly, call
rates being actually higher on the
week.
Exchange rates have gone lower,
but this is conceded to be as much
due to foreign buying of our grain
and cotton as to sales by spectators

autumn is usually a period that i'm

promise to be abundant, which means
much to the whole country. and the
continued relief from the transporta-
ton congestion is making for freer
distribution of commodities and for
some consequent relaxation from the

which are influential in their bearing
on the future, and which prompt ex-
pectations of recovery from the pre-
vailing business depression, but they
are not the determining factors in the
situation.
while some interests have been
slow to recognize the condition. it has
nevertheless long been apparent that
wholesome and sustained progress
could not develop with the general
price basis as measured by index
numbers, more than 100 per cent,
above the pre-war level, and that a
decisive readjustment of markets
must sooner or later be witnessed"
