Freight movement slows as fuel gets priority in freight
New York January reports show heavy merchandise volume but widespread complaints over slow freight movement. Fuel is prioritized over other freight, except livestock and perishable goods, limiting consignments and car availability. Demand for building materials remains brisk, lumber prices rise in the south, and idle pig iron furnaces grow. Railway equipment orders surge with steel rail demand matching full-year 1962 output. Leather goods trade improves, export shoe sales rise, and woolen goods for fall 1903 open. Weekly failures: 265 in the United States, 27 in Canada.
