AMERICA'S COAL.
RESTRICTIONS OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC. Vancouver, Jan. 23. A message from New York says that the five-day industrial lay-off, which was designed to conserve coal for shipping, has ended, and the railroads look for a new flood of traffic. If the cold weather continues it may undo all the good that was accomplished by the embargo on the use of coal. Mr. M'Adoo (Director-General and Treasurer) has declared a new railway embargo on all freight except food, fuel, and war supplies, for the purpose of assisting traffic through the stormy season. The restriction of passenger traffic will follow soon. . The work of coaling ships at Atlantic ports is proceeding apace. Mr. M'Adoo told the Senate that he needed 4,z00,0<)0,000 dollars (over £.800,000,000) before Ist July for natiooal expenditure.
