OBSERVERS WEIGH
FREIGHT RESULTS
Effects of Recent Rate In
creases Expected in
Summer and Fall.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The move
ment of freight traffic. which measures
the pace of industrial activity, mas
come under critical analysis Of experts
who seek to judge the effect on busi-
ness and the railroads of the recent
freight rate increases.
Carloadings for the first full week
the new surcharges were in effect
showed sharp decline from the pre-
vious week and the same week Of 1884
In preliminary estimates. The drop
was attributed only indirectly to the
new higher rates, however.
OF greater interest than the imme-
diate effect on carloadings, rail circles
declare, is the bearing the new rates
will have on traffic this Sumer and
Fall.
Change Effective April Is.
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion granted the rate boost OF about
ss5, 1000 900 a year, effective April IL,
the benefit going mostly to Eastern
roads and others carrying coal ana
iron ore.
For the first three months of this
year freight carloadings ran or per
cent below the same period of last
year. but during the first three weeks
of April the movement OF traffic was
IL per cent ahead of 1884,
Two factors combined to force the
addition, rail officials say. Coal mines
boosted production and deliveries in
advance Of a threatened strike, and
there was a rush of freight shipments
of all kinds to receive the benefits of
the old schedules before the new rates
went into effect.
The Fitch Publishing Co. points out
in a survey that traffic prospects for
coming months are reported to be
substantially better than year ago"
Favorable for Carriers.
Combining in favor of the railroads
are several factors cited by analysts.
Some railroad men feared higher
rates might divert a portion of the
business to truck lines, but increases
ID were on shipments not likely to be
carried by trucks. In addition it was
felt the position of the railroads was
made more secure by passage April II
by the Senate of the Eastman bus and
truck regulation act.
The higher freight rates also were
regarded as an Offset in a measure to
wage increases.
Early settlement by Supreme Court
! decision on the pending rail pension
act is expected to clarity the business
A.. outlook.

JERSEY CITY, May 4.-The annual

As compared with a total budget ap-
preparation of $27,910,000 in 1894, the
city expended or reserved only $25,-
100000 during the year. This left an
unexpended balance of $2,770 900

adopted conservative policy, was
credited to the reserve against taxes
not yet collected, but collectable,
rather than to surplus.

SIGNS OF REVIVAL
|NDURABLE GOODS
Electrical Equipment Sales,
Machinery Trade and
Building Improve.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

AsS0clated Press FinanclaI writer.
Figures compiled by Government
agencies show some Of the long
dormant industries supplying capital
or durable goods are displaying signs
Of q revival.
Strings toward recovery appar-
emily have been pronounced In those
producing electrical equipment and
machinery and in residential building.
Further substantial recovery also has
been recorded In motor and farm
equipment lines, but many statisticians
are reluctant to classify them as dura-
BILE goods.
On a percentage basis, the most i'm
pressive gains in employment, as
shown in the Labor Departments fig
ures, have been in some of the dura-
BILE goods industries, particularly ma.
chinery.
Further Efforts Made.
Much Of the remaining unemploy-
ment has been traced to the recovery
lag in heavy industries, notably con-
struCtion, and the administrations at
tack on depression Is directed toward
bringing them out Of the depths.
New orders booked for electrical
goods in the first quarter. as reported
by tn. Department Of Commerce. were
the largest in dollar value for similar
period since 1881, when prices Of man
ufactured goods generally were higher
After scoring an increase OF nearly
IS per cent in the first quarter, resi-
Dental building continued on the up
grade in April, offsetting in part q
reduction in public construction
Moreover. exports OF machinery, au-
tomobiles, farm equipment and steel
ard iron products have been running
well ahead Of last year.
A major influence regarding heavy
industry prospects is the S4,880, ,000,-
600 work-relief program. Most analy-
sts agree spending of that magnitude
for slum clearance, rural electrifica-
ton, grade crossing eliminations and
other works should supply definite
stimulus to industry, although they
differ on the probable degree.
Spending to Take Time.
However, it is considered doubtful
whether business can count on much
help from that quarter Immediately
The big works machine is not ex-
pected to get in high gear until Au-
tDmn or later.
Meanwhile, some students of indus
try are relying on residential building
to take up slack and upon improve
ment in the capital markets.
Virtually all durable goods experts
agree vast demand has accumulated,
staggering estimates were reeled of in
the gathering of the United States
Chamber of Commerce here the last
week.
Henry I. Hartman, who retired as
president OF the chamber, estimated
potential demand for durable goods
as in excess of $4,000, 900 900, based
on deferred depreciation alone.
In addition, he said, railroads should
be spending about $600,000.0 900 an
rually for deferred maintenance. and
new highway and motor equipment
should add more billions to the total.
Theoretical potential demand for
machinery was placed at nearly
$19 9.000, 900, 900 by John w. OLeary,
head of the Machinery and Allied
Products Institute, Chicago.
