"PRUE COTTON' MONTREAL TORONTO WINNIPEG The Railway Traffic -- ee -- Barometer Shows Rising Volume of Trade Ottawa, Oct. 30.--The railway ii | traffic barometer has continued to | butter). || and grain products, show a rising volume of trade. For the first two weeks of October there was a gain in loaded cars moved of 20.990 over the first two weeks of September, and of 13,321 carloads over the corresponding period of last year. This upward movement has not only been cheering to the railways, ll | but it carries a message of assurance to everybody. Traffic and trade al- ways move up or down together, for the sufficient reason that it is trade which produces traffic. Of the 13,821 carloads gained over the first two weeks of October last year, grain and grain products ac- || counted for 4,704. That left a better- || ment of 8,617 carloads on the side of general business. It is that fact I which {s peculiarly significant and || stimulating. The movement of grain in Increased volume .is just as help- ful to the railways as the movement of any other commodity; but such a substantial improvement in the dis- tribution of other classes points con- clusively to bettered trade conditions throughout the Dominion. The West showed a gain of 10, 808 carloads for the first two weeks of October over the corresponding period of last year, and 6,244 of that gain was represented by grain and grain products. That left 4,664 on the side of other commodities. On looking into the details, it is found that the increases were in live stock, coal, lumber, forest products, merchandise and miscellaneous. The last two classes have much to do with wholesale and retail trade. Eastern Canada, subtracting grain moved 2,809 more carloads during the first two weeks of October than were moved during the same period in 1924. This || Increase was fairly distributed among the eleven commodity classes; but significance attaches to the fact that , miscellaneous accounted for 2,571 | carloads. There were at the same { time gains in lumber, live stock, | pulpwood, pulp and paper, forest products and ore. The larger movement of ore this years is the direct result of steadily growing development in the mining fields of the country. It is approach- ing 2,000 carloads per week, and the prospects of increasing gains along that line are bright. This work is go- ing on in British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. While the transporta- tion of ore cannot be taken as the measure of growth in the mining areas, it will always be a factor in the situation. -1$4,400,000,000, bringing the The bodies of the two Diesel-elec- tric motor passenger cars which have given such fine performance in the | service of the Canadian National were built by the Ottawa Car Manu- facturing Company and the other parts at the Montreal shops of the railway. These cars have shown a speed of sixty miles an hour, and give 3 1-2 and 7 miles respectively per gallon of gasoline. They are op- erated at exceptionally low cost. Since September 1st the Canadian Pacific has moved more grain than during any corresponding period in its history. While the figures are not available, it is believed the Can- adian National has also established a record. The movement in large vol- ume began earlier this year than usual. One of the primary effects of ofl developments in Alberta has been the giving of a contract by the Cana- dian National for tke construction of 7,700 feet of pipe line at New Brig- den. A pump house will also be in- stalled. Since 1917 the capitalization of American railways has increased by total 'up to $22,178,000,000. The capitali- zation of Canadian railways has in- creased during the same period in even a higher ratio, and now stands at nearly $3,500,000,000, including the Canadian National figures. The average annual compensation ! of rallway employees in Canada, ac- cording to the latest available statistics, is $1,423. The correspond- ing figures for the United States are | $1,617. The difference is largely in the relative number of higher paid employees across the line. The Can- adian average in 1915 was $727, and the American $825. . The Canadian National is adding to the facilities at Halifax in prepara- tion for increased winter business. The removal of discrimination against Canadian winter ports by marine underwriters is expected to curtail operations at Portland and | Boston, and improve the situation at both Halifax and St. John. It has taken a long time to bring about sat- isfactory insurance rates. The Canadian Pacific is planning the construction of a single-track tunnel between its yards at Burrard Inlet and False Creek. The estimated cost is $1,700,000. The railways are catching up rapidly on last year's gross earnings, and, with eight weeks of high pres- sure traffic before them the outlook for a considerable improvement over the first half of the year is bright.
