BABSON PREDICTS HUGE
FREIGHT AR STORTAGE
Wollealoy Hills, Mass., July 15,
1922 During the past week Roger
W. Babson has been in New ork in
consultation with important railway
interests. He has returned bellovlng
that a freight car shortage is In
evitable this fall, rind everything
possible should ho done to prevent
it. Concerning the same Mr. Babson
states as follews:
"There are various events which
Indicate a serious congestion of tho
freight this fall. First, there Is a
real shortage of equipment in good
condition. , Thruout the war the
equipment of most railroads was al
lowed to run down. Little was dona
to repair this equipment until this
year. During the past few months
railroads have been-endeavoring to
do five years repair work in one. As
a result a groat many frieght "Cars
are either in the process of being
repaired or are waiting to bo re
paired. In either case they are out
of service. It is true that many of
these cars will be back in service by
winter but they will not be avallablo
by fall. This means that there are
fewer cars available today to haul
freight than are usually available.
"Usually the railroads haul their
coal during the spring and summer.
The winter supply is usually deliver
ed by .the railroads during the
summer, months. Thus far this
year very little coal has been hauled.
Only Immediate needs have been
taken care of. Yet only two more
months remain before people will bo
starting their furance fires. On tho
assumption that the miners will
soon bo back to work this means
that tho railroads will bo deluged
with coal during tho remainder of
tho1 year. Every available car cap
able of hauling coal will bo pressed
Into service and tho coal tonnage
sould be very heavy.
"Tho outlook today is for good
crops this fall. At prevailing prices
tho farmers will want to sell their
grain and move It at once. This
means" that tho railway will bo called
upon to move a tremendous amount
of grain while they, are attempting
to move the coal. There are factors
which lead on to believe that manu
facturing as a wholo will be more
active this fall than It has been at
any time this year. Fundamental
statistics Indicate that the low point
in business will bo reached this sum
mer. Thus the railroads will be
taxed by hauling raw materials in
general and manufactured products
af all sorts."
Mr. Bason was then asked what
effort such a congestion would have
upon commodity prices and secur
ities. To this he replied as follews:
"Freight car congestion inovltably
loads to higher prices. This Is only
natural as prices are determined,
not by costs, but by supply and de
mand. "If a city naturally uses 30 car
loads of potatoes a day, any day

When you bake with

there will be no loss or

' is far less expensive
.than some other brands
selling for less.

Don't be led into taking Quantity for Quality
Calumet proved best by test in millions of
Bake-Day contests. Largest selling brand
in the world. Contains only such ingredi

Food Authorities.

that there is a shortage of only two
or three caw, the prico of all tho
potatoes In that city goes up. An
other iday when there is a surplus of
only two cars, tho price of all the
potatoes goes down. Price is not
determined by tho total quantity of
a product produced or consumed,
but rather by that small percentage
of surplus or shortage. A freight
congestion this fall would inevitably
lead to a shortago in certain raw
materials and merchandise in home
localities. As a result these com
modities will temporarily strength
en in price at these points. Such
a result is inevitable.
"Strengthening commodity prices
are often although not always
proceeded by strengthening security
prices. The stock market usually
discounts rises in the commodity
market. Thus a congestion of frieght
might mean both advancing com
modity and security prices. Further
more, in the case of a freight con
gestion, the railways should tem
porarily, at least, show very hand
some earnings. Already the rail
ways are showing very good earn
ings owing to the high rates and re
duced operating expenses, notwith
standing thefact that they are haul
ing very llttlo freight. If the time
comes when tho railroads will carry
100 per cent capacity these earnings
should be very large. Large rail
road earnings should tend for higher
prices for railroad securities. A
word to tho wise Is sufficient."
General business according to the
index figure of the Babsonchart
stands at 17 per cent below normal,
tho same as last week.
