freight cars gives promise of being
greater than during tha last few days of
January, whan It waa Impossible to se
cure enough rolling stock to move th
grain to market.
At thla time the Missouri Pacific la
running two and three grain specials
dally moving grain out from tha elevators
en Its tracks and tha Belt Line, but with
these heavy shipments It Is unable to get
consignment! out a fast as It accumu
lates. Every road operating out of tha city to
tha east, north and aoutn reports a short
age of care. While they are more BU
meroaa than a week ago, the demand haa
grown so rapidly that Inside of ten day
the car famine promisee to reach the ac
cutc stage. Reports from tha country
tributary to the Omaha market are to
th affect that much more grain is held
In storage on tha farms and In th coun
