Roads Move a Large Volume of Freight
New York reports mixed signals on business and finance as a railroad strike lingers. Prospects point to a possible nine million tons a week production surge if the soft coal strike settles, while fuel shortages may curb steel output for weeks. Car loading remains strong but a fall car shortage is deemed inevitable. Inflation fears divide experts as wage gains and higher prices mix with cheap rubber and grain, suggesting a varied, uneven fall revival. Wheat sits near one dollar, money markets stay steady, and no major shifts are forecast.
