VARIED CONDITION SHOWN BY REPORT
Sixth Federal Reserve District Review Indicates Cotton
 Crop 100000 Short

ATLANTA, Oct. 29.--A varied con- dftion" exists throughout the Sixth federal reserve district, according to the Monthly Business Review for October, made public today by the Atlanta federal reserve bank.
 More favorable reports are re- ceived from Florida. where sgri- cultural products other than cotton
 are relied on," the Review reads while conditions in south Georgia and some sections or south Alabama are probably worse than in any other parts of the district due to unfavor- able seasons and the rSvages of the boil wevil, resulting in almost con- plete failure of the cotton crop.
 NO state in the distrist has as high cotton condition as the average TOT the United States, estimated st 4S.o per cent of normal on September z5' the lowest being Florida, although producing only 13,O00 bales, Whlch had an estimated condition of 20 per cent, while the best condition in the district prevails in Tennessee, where the condition is estimated at 47 per cent of normal"
 Crop 400, ,ooo Bales shy.
 The six states in the district, ac- cording to estimates by the depart ment of agriculture, will produce a cotton crop of 100000 bales shorter than that of 1922. The increased prices for cotton will not mean a great deal" in some sections where the crop is slmost complete failure, the Review asserts. fulfilled orders reported to the Review by cotton manufacturing firms in the district
 were Considerably larger in Oc- tober than the previous month
 Tn some sections of Georgia, to- bacco growing Is receiving more at tentton," the Review continues, | There are now eleven tobacco ware houses in this state, and this year according to figures compiled by the Georgia department of agriculture s,101,3 ,343 pounds of tobacco were sold | at public sales, at an average oi | 2b. 7-1o cents"
 Wholesale and retail trade contin- ues to compare favorably with the volume of business at this time last year, 1t is stated. The total sales by 3B representative department
 stores during September was about 10 per cent greater than during Sep tember, 1922 Sales by wholesale houses were larger in six of the eight
 lines on which reports are received
 the Review asserts. An improvement in savings and deposits is noted.

TYPICAL TRAFFIC TOWER

TYPICAL TRAFFIC TOWER
 One of these traffic control towers will be erected at Nineteenth street and First avenue, handling the sig nal lights of the system. Picture shows tower in use on Main street, Augusta, Ga.
 Estimates of costs of material were ordered made Monday by Commis- sioner ". B. Cloe for Birmingham s new traffic control system, for which the budget gives 8 fund not to ex- ceed sb,o0o
 The system adopted is that in use in Dallas, Tex, as reported to the city authorities by Sergt. W. W. Brent of the traffic squad. It con- sists of a parent" tower, to be To- cated at First avenue and Nineteenth street, and number of suspended beacons at main intersections of streets and avenues in the con- gested district. Plans now call for beacons at the intersections of all streets and avenues in the division bounded by Nineteenth and Twenty second streets and First and Fifth avenues, which will mean 19 beacons and the parent tower.
 One man operates the entire con- trolled area with a system of switches governing red lights for the stop signal, green to go ahead and a cen- tral lamp between the red and green which will be amber, and which will be on when streets are to be cleared for the fire department apparatus, amublances, a runaway or oth her times when vehicular traffic is ordered to the curb for a wideopen right of way.
 Commissioner Cloe pointed out that the exact timing o< all street intersections will tend to keep traf- fic on a more even flow, like block system, as compared to the old method of governing the flow by a policeman, who may be sending ad- ditional vehicles against a conges- tion or a reverse signal further along the way. Estimates are being made on the amount of electric and beacon suspension wiring, switches and other equipment, the cost of the tower and other details. The beacons will be suspended over the center of the intersection from wires stretched to adjacent poles.
 Roger J. Wade, Birmingham repre- sentative of Grouse G Hinds, Syra- cuse, N. Y, manufacturers of the beacons and other parts of the traf- fic control system, placed the order with the city. Installation of the system will be started as soon as the material is assembled.
 Twelve units are to be installed at first, and others added later.
