MEN AND BUSINESS.
Richard SpiIIare Thinks Things Are
LOOKING Up.


Apparently the textile business is i'm
proving in New England. From New
Bedford comes report that within one
week 1900 bales of cotton have been
delivered to mills in that city on hurry
orders and good sized lots have been
rushed to other mill centers, writes
Richard Spillane, noted financial en-
pert. TO expedite the movement of the
cotton much Of it was sent by auto
truck.
1t must be a remarkable spectacle to
see auto-trains of cotton moving over
the highways down East. incidentally,
this habit that manufacturers have OF
shipping by truck explains In part the
sorry state of the NewsY ork, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad. There was
time when all transportation in New
England was dependent on the New
Haven, whether the movement was ny
land or water Not now Tine district
IS ideal for the auto-truck. The hauls
are short. The truck cuts out the old
delays incidental to freight collection
and delivery.
Just how the New Haven is going to
overcome motor truck competition IS
not plain. Some foolish persons con-
nectcd with the road have been crying
higher rates. The higher the rates go
the more the handicap on the Yankee
manufacturer He has been having his
troubles for years, and it looks as II
they are not going to lessen unless the
TRANSPORTATION difficulty is corrected.
