HEAVY GASOLINE DEMAND
Daily Ayerage for juno Largest Of
Any Month in 1921.

New York Times.
Consumption Of gasoline for the
month of June according to statistics
published yesterday, averaged about
16,1S0,S09 gallons daily, which is the
largest Of any month thus far this
year. The figures included the
amount shipped for export. As COM
pared with May the increase was g.
429, 9,122 gallons daily. The daily
average output for June was only
14,344,s13 gallons, or a decrease of
about 125, 900 gallons as compared
with May, so that thed emand in ex-
cess of production brought about a
reduction of approximately 5o,ooO,-
900 gallons in the stocks on hands.
The stocks on hand at the close OF
June were estimated at 750, 100000
gallons. For sometime past reports
have been coming from the industry
of the remarkable demand for gaso-
line as compared with other oil pro-
ducts and it had generally been esti-
mated that sales were running about
10 per cent. ahead of 1920. The June
sales, however, were slightly below
those Of June, 1920.

SOUTH HAS ADVANTAGE
OVER OTHER SECTIONS

Washington, Aug. 25.-"Produc-
ers and consumers in the South now
enjoy a distinct advantage over 9th.
er sections of the United States in
respect of freight rates and their
relative position is better than it has
been at any time in the past" says
a statement issued by Vice Ptesi-
dent Lincoln Green Of the Southern
Railway System. -. "
"This present advantage springs ~
the statement continues, "from the
fact that freight rates outside the
South have been advanced to a much
greater extent than within the South.
When rates in the Eas t were ad-
vanced five percent in 1915 and Is
percent in 1917, no increases were
made in the South. On August 26,
1920, rates in the East were in
creased 40 percent and the West and
Southwest 35 percent; in the South
the increase was only rs percent
while rates between the South and
other territories were increased on
ly 33 1-S percent. .-.t.. :,
"The result Of all this has been to
give Southern manufacturers a great
advantage in rates on both raw ma
terials and finished products, an ad-
vantage which is shared by Southern
consumers. As an example: A cotton
manufacturer at Greenville, s. c.,
drawing raw cotton from Hattisburg,
Chicago, paid in 1914 a combined
rate Of $1.14 per 100 pounds, while
the manufacturer in Lowell, Mass,
drawing his cotton from Hattisburg
and shipping to Chicago, paid $3.50
giving the Carolina manufacturer a
rate advantage of 16 cents. Under
present rates the Lowell manufac-
turer pays for this service 1888,
while the Carolina manufacturer
pays only $1.sS 1-2, giving him a
rate advantage of IA 1-2 cents. -
