"The railroads cannot carry out the

Shippers Can Help
"Yau, as shippers and receivers of
freight can take very important part
in this movement. You can add $685.
600 freight cars to the available car
supply by loading your cars more
heavily and loading and unloading
them promptly. If the railroads were
abliged to buy $4,000 new cars at
the present price of about $500 per
car. it would cost them S1,6O5. 600 900
and would cost the public at least 6
per cent of that amount in the form
of increased freight rates.
"The average freight car spends its
time as follows: 81 per cent Of the
time in the hands of the shipper or
the receiver: 43 per cent moving from
the point of loading or unloading to
the terminal where it us put into a
train or onto a transfer track; IL per

Stewart Letter


 The market on the whole ruled quiet and steady around 35.60 for October. On the belief that there is some scalp CTS short interest in the market from selling earlier in the week an attempt was made to drive it to cover. Much in regard to tomorrow's prospects will depend on weather developments over night. Detailed government records show rainfall yesterday in Texas was concentrated on the northeastern sec tion of that state with Greenville 4.90 inches. Paris 4.54 Dallas ITO, Weath. erford 4.74 and Fort Worth .SS. The rest of the state had practically no rainfall, thirty stations showing no rain at all. The government weekly report on Texas say more rain is needed in areas in southern and western portions.
 There was very little in the way of news and outside business continues light. The average trader is looking for credit and economic conditions to bring about lower prices but the mar ket is stubborn and pays more atten- tion to the weather than anything else and it looks as if the market is a purchase on all breaks especially while we are having unsettled weather.

Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, May 12.-Although the weather report placed more emphasis than expected on unfavorable features. and prices showed a tendency toward firmness, the response was not impress sive or of the sort that might be eE pected if there were any extended speculative short interest. This was the more noticeable, because in spite of the circ Nation of number of May notices, that month showed strength although there has been much talk of deliveries in considerable quantity. According to the weather report prog ress has been satisfactory only in the Carolinas and Louisiana and poor else where owing to weather conditions which prevented planting and germin. ation. Fields are even being plowed up in North Georgia and planted to food crops. Texas showed some inn provement but the general condition is only poor to fair and considerable re- planting will have to be done in that state as well as in Arkansas and OK lahoma and seed is scarce. Predictions are for a very low condition report on June 2, which some think may not be better than sixty-five, an impression which the weather report today has helped to strengthen.

New Orleans, May 12.-Poor cables and continued unfavorable reports from the finished goods markets were against values in the early trading to- day but after the weekly reports were issued the market had a firm un- dertone and an advancing tendency. From declines of 10 to 12 points under the close of yesterday the trading months were lifted to levels 20 to Al points over. The close was 15 to 42 points up on the days trading. The of ficial crop accounts were decidedly less favorable than expected.
 While Texas did not show up il quite as bad a light as expected by extreme bulls, condition in Georgia were described as being such cotton is being plowed up in some localities and the land replanted to food crops. Ok lahoma was the only state that showed we'll and it's favorable showing was offset by the heavy rains of the last couple of days. which could not have been considered in the official review Over the remainder of the belt il looked like a spotted crop.
 Outside conditions are not favorable but they are more than outweighed by the unsatisfactory state of the new crop. We are not inclined to look for prolonged declines unless the crop takes decidedly better turn.
