It may be added, that as a practical result of this, fast schooners are unwilling to take freights to Salem, for, even with the large demurrage paid them, they find the employment unprofitable through the long delay there. The tables show that the usual number of carloads of four tons each carried per day varies from about eighty to one hundred and ten, averaging somewhat over ninety. They also disclose the fact that had the railroad seen fit to carry an average of forty more carloads per day, ...or on an emergency from fifty to sixty, and to keep up the supply with a fair regularity, the blockade would not have occurred. An increase of forty to fifty carloads per day is no extravagant demand to make upon a prosperous railroad company, — yet though frequently and urgently made it has always been neglected. The average demurrage of many of the mills is from sixty to seventy cents per ton, from eight to twelve per cent, on the aver- age cost of coal. This demurrage increases rather than diminishes, showing no attempts on the part of the railroad to remedy the evil.
