order includes every city In the coun-
try where these goods were offered for

than ten per cent. of the surplus sup

Washington, Sept. 13.-Optimistic
notes of conditions in the south are
contained in the weekly report on
traffic by the director general of rail-
roads who says that freight loaded in
the southern region for the week end
ing September s showed an increase
of 3,8o7 cars over the CORES ponding
week of last year, and 1923 cars
over the week ending September 1 this
year. General business conditions, he
says, have not improved very much
and buying is limited to uncertainty of
prices and labor.
Movement of export coal through
Charleston. S. c. is improving, going
mostly to Cuba and France. This

ports with 81 furnaces now in blast
and only IA out.
Strike conditions in the Florida
phosphate fields have improved and

Reports indicate that "a additional
hotels will be erected in Florida, IA
of them in Miami.
Travel continues normal and ample
equipment has been available through
the southern region. In the Pocahon-
tas region 25 extra sleeping cars were
operated during the week.
The Tampa cigarmakers, who were
on strike for some time, have return
ed to work.
Reports indicate a good apple crop
along the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road in Virginia, approximately 1900
barrels more than last year.
