C. , is an important item under present conditions. No goods are sold from tlie cars at the terminals, ail are brought to the stores. Formerly it cost 4 cents per barrel for dra}'- age from the yards of the Pemisylvania Railroad and 5 cents from the Baltimore & Ohio. Now it costs 10 cents. The handling and the length of the haul (from 1 to 3 miles) cause considerable loss. Especially has this been true during the war when labor was scarce and inefficient. The waste from this source in the case ...of appks and peaches is reported to be from 5 to 10 per cent. Dealers estimate that expenses of $15 to $30 a car would be saved if cars could bo unloaded at the door of their stores, while a large actual waste would be prevented.
