memorial bridge across the Piscata-

for a legitimate explosion to have oc-
curred at that point
Railroad workers freely expressed
the opinion that the fire could not
have been caused by spontaneous
combustion and attributed the loss to
incendiarism.
There were repeated explosions OF
acetylene gas tanks. A large fuel oil
tank in one section of the building
commanded the attention of one fire
engine. Barrels of lubricating and il
Illuminating oil were saved by the
combined efforts of another fire en-
gine.
William McShane. in charge Of the
roundhouse during the late night
shift could not be located and fear for
his life was entertained, until it was
learned he had left for his home a
half hour before the fire started.
The building contained most of the
rolling stock owned by the three
roads operating on this division. In
addition to the engines burned, the
machine repair shop, the air brake re-
pair shop, water tower, fuel oil plant
and part Of the turn table was de-
stroyed.
An official of the Boston and Maine
railroad stated that the loss Of the
motive power will seriously handicap
the road in it's operation. While it
will not cripple the road to the extent
Of tying up traffic all engines will be
turned Immediately on their arrival.
Other engines will be requisitioned
from Boston and Waterville.

INDUSTRY SLOWS
CONTINUED from Page One)

AS an offset to the losses which the
country has already suffered there is
now an accumulation of demand, the
filing of which will spur industry for
some time to come. Coal supplies,
meanwhile, have dwindled to the
Point where basic Industries have
been seriously affected. Although
the latest estimates Of the geological
survey, covering the week ending
Aug. /, show that output has again
liscn about the 100000 ton mark.
it is still less than half of normal
and about a million tons below that
what it was just prior 10 the shop
mems Walliout.
The steel industry in particular
has suffered. Shutting down Of blast
furnaces is almost a daily occur
renee and unless increased supplies
of fuel are soon Forthcoming some
steel mills will have to suspend oper-
atons. Even with both strikes out
of the way congestion on the rail-
roads will be unavoidable and some
months will Ec required to get back
to normal conditions.
In spite of cmbargOcs on certain
classes OF freight by few OF the
railroad car loadngs have been held
up well. For the week Of July %,
the total of cars loaded fell Slightly.
gains in coal and grain being Offset
by decreases in merchandise and
miscellaneous freight. Loadings,
however, are continuing at close to
the high point in history at this sea-
son Of the year With the grain
movement getting under way, re-
sumption of coal mining and the
usual autumn traffic demands will
tax the capacity of the roads and in
sure substantial earnings for some
months to come.
A rcassuring note was struck our
ing the week BY the department Of
agriculturcs forecast of abundant
Yields Of tho country's principal
crops. Wheat production is cstimat-
Cd at some G,0G0,000 bushels above
tho average. and the corn yield prom
iscs to be the fourth largest on rec
crd. While prices have rcceded
somewhat a. q result of these bright
prospects the purchasing power OF
the agricultural communities will
nevertheless be enhanced. Less eX-
pcnSe went into the making of this
years crop than has been the case
for some years past. This better
buying power will prove its effect on
general business in the fall. Plen-
was removed and the trend of prices
appeared to be upward.
Money rates were practically un-
changed. Bankers report that a Ger
tain amount of money is being with
drawn hy interior institutions TO aid
in the seasonal movement Of crous.
Demand for industrial purposes has
slackencd, however. and new capital
issues for the week totaled but slight
ly more than $4,000 900. the low
record for the year. Smaller depos-
its and contraction in bills brought
q further rise in the federal reserve
systems ratio Of reserves to deposits
and note circulation 10 S0.4 per cent,
the highest point reached on the
present movement The position Of
the system banks thus points to the
probability of continued case in
money.
