Goods block the ports and freight congestion rises
Millions of dollars of export freight are backed up in American ports due to vessel shortages. Reports to Secretary McAdoo from Philadelphia, New Orleans, Mobile, Tampa and Galveston describe critical congestion affecting cotton, grain, naval stores, and other exports. European demand drives purchases as commerce data shows gains in autos, woolen goods, rubber, leather, and machinery. A marriage and a death in Marshville accompany the day’s notices.
