A despatch from Ottawa says: The new centralized management of the IUnited States railroads, with its pool- ring arrangements of rolling stock andi .economies of routing and motive; ipower, is already helping to solve‘ one of the main problems of the \Canadian Railway Companies, name- jly, the more prompt return of Canaw dian rolling stock routed to United:, [States points. Rolling stock tte?? in Canada has been aggravated to a ‘large eittent by the delays in securing) return of cars from the United States roads. Thousands of Canadian box cars, etc., have been kept across the 'line for months. The shortage of cars in the United States, the keenness of irailway competition, and the lack of ,iany central eo..ordinttting manage- "ment, have made the tracing and re- ;1turn of cars to Canada very difficult for a considerable time past.
