Daily r. R.<Fuel
Judging from the heavy local
fuel shipments yesterday compared
to foreign railroad consignments,
some operators suspect that the B..
& o. Railroad is looking after its
own interests in placing cars for
fuel to be consumed on its own
system. There has been decided
drop in foreign fuel loading. Only
thirty-five cars of coal was shipped
to foreign carriers yesterday, while
the total conSignments they re-
ceived on Monday aggregated 140
cars. A total of l19 cars of raflrc-
fuel were loaded on the Monongah
Division. B. & O., yesterday, of
which the B. & o. secured "a cars,
the same total as it got on Monday.
Off the Charleston Division. B. &
o.. yesterday there were only sey-
en- cars of .railrond fuel loaded, Of
which the B. &c O., secured two
cars.
Eighteen cars of coke were load
