MERCHANDISE BUYING
SHOWS STEADY GAIN

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, February 13.-More
extensive buying of merchandise and
miscellaneous commodities than a
year ago is indicated in the move
ment of freight by Western rail-
roads. Steel shipments are heavier,
and other building materials are
moving at a good rate. The move
ment of grain, while still heavy, is
said to be showing the effect of the
big movement earlier in the season,
when farmers rushed to take advan-
tage of high prices. Profits of grain
sales apparently are finding their
way into other markets, judging from
loadings of miscellaneous freight
throughout the West.
