The record of the Butte division of
the Great Northern railway during the
last month was the largest from the
point Of wheat lOadings that the road
has had in its history.
During October 2,144 cars Of wheat
were shipped from this division of the
Great Northern as compared with 1865
carloads in October, 1927. Since july [.
last, this division OF the Great Northern
has loaded 5,625 cars Of wheat. which is
approximately 55 per cent of the wheat
grown in the region from Butte to Great
Falls. During the same period in 1926
the Great Northern shipped 3,432 cars of
wheat.
It is estimated that nearly 5000 car
loads Of wheat will be shipped from this
division Of the Great Northern this wear
as compared with 6,119 last year. APP
proximately 40 per cent Of the grain
shipped over the road has gone to west
ern mills.
| While wheat shipments show a ire
mendous gain on this division Of the
railroad, livestock shipments show 2
slight decrease. During this year 2.619
carloads of cattle have been shipped as
compared with 2,970 last year. Great
Northern railway men expect to ship but
30 carloads more from the Butte division
While the cattle shipment is expected tc
show a decrease, railway men pointed olli
that many livestock breeders are HOLDING
much OF their summer stock over foI
winter feeding, expecting higher prices
next spring.
