dered this year, and the shops
simply cannot turn them out fast
enough.
Normally, there is the problem
of the return freight to be dealt
with iu the matter. A million
cars, all going Mast with cargoes
of grain, but returning empty,
would not afford profit to the rail-
road except at a high rate. Hut
just now not a car goes empty
either way. There is business
enough for all.
Though this congestion is de-
cidedly inconvenient, and is driv-

frantic, it has its very reassuring
side. I' 1S ,1,r immediate
