Commerce Com-
mission ?ays.
Gradual relief for the car shortage'!
in Nebraska is in sight, according to I
a telegram to the banks of Omaha j
from the interstate Commerce com-1
mission yesterday morning. This wa
m response -to a message sent last
Thursday by the bankers here call
ing the attention of the fednal
board to the fact that Nebraska was
not getting its share of grain cars.
The reply from Washington- states
that a large number of cars have
been delivered to the western rail
roads to meet the grain requirements,
and that figures indicate heavy load
ing at all points. .'
Specific instances of 'tar shortage
are requested by the Ijgcrstate Com
merce commission before acfciwn is
taken. The First National bank of
Omaha, upon receiving, this reply,
set to work collecting facts on the
congestion of grain in the country.
Although the orifsnects ot moving
farm products with greater speed
are considered promising, Hankers
point out that there has been a large
shrinkage of values due to the fall
ing markets for wheat, corn and live
stock, vhi?h thefarincr will have to
bear.' The blockade has been so
tight that in one town, according to
the report or-a country banker, there
are 800 cars of wheat' awaiting ship
ment. Incidents of the effects of
the tie-up affecting liquidation exist
at almost every shipping point, it is
said. i '
