|. C. REPORT is OPTIMISTIC
Excellent Increase Over a Year Ago Is
Shown.

Chicago.-Traffc conditions through
the South, as reflected by the expe-
rience of the Illinois Central, show an
excellent increase over a year ago, say
officials of the road. March especially
showed a remarkable gain over the year
previous. Figures just completed, show
ing estimated gross earnings for the
month, indicate an increase of $S16,269
for the Illinois Central alone, and of
1913, 1893 inclusive of the Yazoo and Mis-
sissippi Valley. The first week of April
shows an increase of S85,6OO for the
Illinois Central and of $50, 700 for the
two roads.
Lumber demands in particular, which
are generally regarded as the barometer
of conditions in Illinois Central terri
tory, are extraordinary, it is SAID, and
the movement of early vegetables from
tine South to Chicago is also heavy.
