RErrER SOUTHERN BUSINESS
Looked for From Now on by Presi-
dent Finley.

uSAL = AAASys
NEW YORK, January NV. W. Fin
lev president of the Southern railway,
said Yesterday that railway conditions In
the south, dependent, Of course, upon in
dustrial conditions. would improve n the
coming weeks. Mr.. Finley expressed sat-
isfaction at the consummation Of COM
promise with the authorities OF southern
states, narrated for the past few weeks
In the news dispatches, and added:
Business in the south, as elsewhere,
was very quiet during December. and
these conditions continued during the first
week Of January, and were somewhat re-
hected In the second week Of January.
While not desiring to speak in too optimis-
tic a vein, I am of this opinion that any
change from this time on is likely to b.
favorable. BY comparison with Deem
Der. the traffic Of the approaching months
should be bstter. The cotton mills in the
south are largely located in the Piedmont
region. This region is traversed by the
Southern Railway Company. The mills
while in the main still In operation, have
not yet bought what might be called their
quota of the present cotton crop. This
traffic is, therefore, practically In reserve
for the company While the south may
have a smaller crop this year, the states
traversed by the Southern Railway Com
pany will. as shown by the government
reports. produce 10000 bales more than
last year."
