ANOTHER DULL WEEK. Orders For Cars and Locomotives Were Few and Inquiries Scarce. Another dull week was experienced In the equipment market, and orders for cars and locomotives were few. Inquiries for new equipment were also scarce. During the past week orders were placed for a total of 4S2 cars and car bodies, and ten locorno- tives.

Canadian car companies will build 3S2 of the cars ordered for the Intercolonial, which placed contracts with the Canadian Car Foundry Company for 278. and the Nova Scotia Car Company for 104. The American Car Foundry Company closed a contract with the St. Louis San Francisco for 45 cars, and the Boston Elevated divided an order for fifty car bodies between the Standard Steel Car and the St. Louis Car companies.

The Standard Steel Car Company also received an order for five mail ears from the Chicago, Burlingtou Quincy. All the locomotives were ordered from the American Locomotive Company by the Baltimore A thio.
