RHINELAND TRADE IS MUCH BETTER
Financial Situation Improved Since Dawes Plan Ratification

Berlin, Sept. 3.-Dispatches from the Rhineland and from Leipsic, where the fall fair now Is in prog ress, indicate improved conditions in commercial, industrial and banking circles---an improvement which al- ready had become evident in Berlin since the ratification of the laws for putting the Dawes plan into effet. The wine, tobacco and shoe trades in the Rhineland and the Bavarian palatinate are reported increasingly active.
 A Frankfort dispatch announces that smoke Is again coming from the stacks of many shoe factories at Piramseps which have been idle since the separatist troubles last winter. Fifty French buyers are re- ported in attendance at the Leipsic fair where the export prices ara said to be lower than the domestic prices.
 New hope has sprung up in the Rhineland largely because of the re- taxation in the customs control and the release of the railway centers, making transportation easier and re- lieving the public from foreign re- straint.
