Tennessee and Mississippi.
 September business on the Warrior was heavy. but that of October, the official figures show, was slightly larger. The total movement was 32,- 432 tons, of which northbound was 15,100 tons and southbound was 1s.- SS1 tons. The northbound freight Is gradually increasing and comes nearer to an equalization with the southbound.
 Traffic in goods from the east via the Mallory line and from the Pa- cific coast Is understood to be grow ing straight along and the variety of goods shipped is increasing, as merchants realize the ability of the service to handle any kind of mer- chandise.
