If any one has had the temerity to recite a verse about the "beautiful snow" to railroad presidents a year ago he would have been lucky to escape alive. They were gunning then for the weather man, who had opened all his snow chutes and covered the western country with a heavy white mantle. Snow plows were worked night and day, traffic was delayed everywhere, passengers were berating operating officials and heavy damage resulted. Now the situation is exactly the opposite. Tho chief executives of the rail lines are praying for snow and hope it will come soon in substantial quantities. Reports received by them are to the effect that scarcely a flake has fallen In the country traversed by their lines and anxiety Is felt for next year's crops.
BIG BAIL ORDERS ARE PLACED
.The .western, steel industry was astonished at the Insignificant decline in
new business this montb. It Is ex
pected that the holidays and Inventories will bring the inevitable December lull. but . all prognostications thl. winter that demand had been satisfied temporarily, especially in ylw of unsatisfactory deliveries, have had -to be revised. Railroad buying is mainly of equipment. The large rail tonnages recently announced were only in small measure new business. The Harrlman orders for 200,000 tons had been forthcoming for months, and . the Northwestern's contract for 60,000 tons last week was not new. The St. Paul will need a lot of rail for extensions on its Pacific line next year. ' . Steel and Iron prices all around are very strong, and customers - behave well.
