VANISHING POINT

The car supply in the local coal re-
gion today was almost negligible and
there was a dampening effect on pro-
duction. There were only 447 cars
on the Monongah division today out

glance the situation was not cheer
full one by any means. Prospects for
tomorrow were believed brighter.
There was absolutely no car supply
on the Monongahela today. There
are 125 mines idle.
The total coal and coke loadings
yesterday were 951, eleven coke and
$40 coal. or the coal 797 loads went
east and LEA west, while coke ship
ments east and west were five and six,
respectively. Wagon loadings in the
region yesterday amounted to four.
The Curtis Bay shipments were
Is, while Michigan points got 80,
Ohio points 81 and miscellaneous
points 63. OF the cars in the region
today there were 446 open and II
coke.
The placements this morning were
3S7 with 126 cars left from yesterday.
Total loading for railroad fuel
amounted yesterday to 256, while the
east of Grafton tonnage showed T2O
loads.
