shows some signs Of Improvement
of the Monongah Division B. 4
10. Last week the total ran 1852

coming back IN the market for n
stronger supply OF fuel. In fact.
the B. & o. secured Sc per cent
of the~railroad fuel tonnage last
week. Foreign carriers have show.
ed some increases also, but gen.
ierally not as strong.
Curtis Bay Unchanged

Monongah division B. & o. last

tai being 259 carloads. Occasional

tries have caused some coal to
flow 10 Curtis Bay, but as a whole
the export business is way off

in sight A run OF 80 cars or coal
went to Arlington pier last week
off the division.
