ERIE PLACES ORDERS FOR SOME NEW ROLLING STOCK
The condition of ttve equipment market Is & matter of vital Importance to Hammond In view of the fact that the two principal Industries of the city ar.3 a number of smaller concerns are engaged in the manufacture of railroad equipment. The following report from the financial page of a Chicago paper is interesting: "Orders for new rolling stock, placed by the Erie and Frisco systems last week, made it the most active buying w&ek the equipment market has experienced for nearly a year. Orders were, plaoed for 7,430 cars and ISO loco motives. The Erie ordered 4,600 cars and the Frisco 2,760 cars. Other ear orders were placed by the Chicago, Memphis A Gulf, Swift & Co., and the Duluth, Winnipeg & Pacific, which ordered 10 cars fro mthe Central Locomotive Works, 50 from the Pressed Steel Car and 30 from the Mount Vernon Car Companies respectively. "Of the. locomotive orders the Erie and St. Louis & San Francisco each placed contracts for 40 r engines, and "Although orders for rolling stock
have shown a marked increase since the middle of July they have not been in sufficient volume as yet to cause the equipment companies to reopen plants which they began to shut down last November. 'Prices for equipment are still very Competitive and far below normal, but have shown a nappreciable Increase
over those of the first six months pf the year when the supply houses were willing to take contracts at almost cost
in order to keep their plants open."
both roads divided their respective orders between the American Locomotive Company ancj the Baldwin Locomotive Works. .The Pennsylvania will
build 35 engines at company's shops,
and the Misouri Pacific completed the placing of its locomotive contracts by ordering IS passenger engines from the
American Company in addition to the
50 freight locomotives' recently contrac
ted for with this company. The above figures compare with 1,439 cars and 16 locomotives ordered the previous week and 305 cars and one engine two weeks
ago.
