In spite of the fact that 900 new cars are being turned out and delivered every day, there is so much shipping that the present equiptment falls short of the demands. Reviving business throughout the land, together with the" extensive road building, unusually heavy grain and coal movements and the shipment of cotton in the South are the causes of an unusual demand. Shippers and receivers everywhere are asked to help things along by loading and unloading cars as rapidly as posible, so that they may be hurried along instead of "loafing" on side tracks.
