 The river traffic for the past six months shows an increase over the same period of last year of about 100 per cent. The figures for the six months, ending July 1. for cotton are 31,000 bales. Compared to the same period for 1906, however, this is slight decrease, the river traffic having not yet fully recovered from the panic of 1907
 It is the opinion of rIver men that the cotton hauled for 1909 will reach very near the much desired 100000 bales. In the opinion of the United States Engineer, the transportation of such a quantity of cotton this fall Will be great aid in the effort to be made before Congress to secure further river appropriations.

 The demand for coke is becoming rather acute in this district. It is authoritatively announced that several thousand by-produet coke ovens will be constructed in this district during thc II Xt six months. All ovens that can be rehabilitated and operated on the least profit will be put in shape There will be need this winter and next year for every ton of coke that can be manufactured. The coal pro- duction will meet every demand In this line. The coal output in Alabama Is on 6 steady increase and before the first of the coming year 1t Is figured that normal conditions will nave been reached again and the railroads will have their hands full in keeping the mines supplied with empty cars with which to handle the product.
