DIX|E'S EXPORTS AFTER Tht WAR
 ARE DISCUSSED
Cotton Goods, Cotton Seed Products and Naval Stor-
 es Principal Trade.

Atlanta. Ga, Oct. 22.-What the South can export after the war and the necessity for the consumtiOn of foreign goods in this section so that vessels mays not have to return cmpty, was discussed at a Southern Trade Conference here today by F. R. Eldridge, Jr., asting chief of the Far Eastern Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
 Cotton goods, cotton seed products. naval stores and lumber were cited by Mir Eldridge as some of the prin- Cipal exports.
 Europe, he said would have to de- rend largely on the South for lum- Der to rebuild it's cities, and all the would would buy the other products. Tue exporting ships cannot stay 1n foreign trade unless they return laden, he said, and among remedies for this he suggested that Southern business men prepare to import copra from the Philippines and tthe East Indies. and thus Southern mills could crush oil the year around.
 Manila jute could also be imported for making bads for cotton seed mea! and fertilizer.
  South to handle raw jute imports, he added.
 Almost every feature of trade eX- ransion after the war was touched on by various speakers, and the aid to such expansion to be expected from improved banking facilities, railroads, inland waterways and hikhways was brought out.
 The meeting Twas ca'led by the lscE1 hern Commercial Congress at tlle instance of Governor Dorsey of Georgia, and committee was ap- pointed to draw up recommendations to te presented at the December meeting of the congress in Baltl- more.
 The value of the proposed canal from St. 'Marys, Ga, on the Atlantic. to St. Marks, Fla, on the Gulf, was stressed by Governor Dorsey and ether speakers.
 This, it was pointed out. would practically complete an inland water way system from Maryland to Mex ico, with the building of the coastal system of Louisiana and Texas.
 More than twenty Southern cities were represented at the conference. which closed tonight.
