BUSINESS COMPARED WITH ONE AND TWO YEARS 

 AGO THIS DATE. 



On comparing the number of carload shipments 

 turned out up to this date with one and two years ago 

 we find a gain this year over last of five cars, and over 

 two years ago a gam of ten cars, not counting export 

 business. Up to this date, two years ago, we had ex- 

 ported 8 cars ; last year, 27 cars ; this year, 20 cars. 

 While two years ago we were running day and night, 

 and very much behind on orders, this year we are 

 well up with orders on regular time, and have a large 

 surplus stock to draw on. This difference is account- 

 ed for by our more complete equipment put in a year 

 ago last fall, which enables us to take care of a larger 

 business much more easily. We have a stock of over 

 three million sections in the various styles and sizes, 

 and both grades. We have a large stock of No. 2 sec- 

 tions in the various widths and .styles, whereas a year 

 ago we could not furnish enough No. 2 to supply or- 

 ders, lyess than carload shipments, this compares fa- 

 vorably with last year, but is not up to two years ago. 

 The very late spring has a retarding effect on business, 

 and we hope for an improvement when the weather 

 warms up. Reports of wintering are generally favor- 

 able, though this prolonged cold weather may cause 

 spring dwindling.
