IRISH FREE STATE
FUTURE PROSPECTS BRIGHT GREAT INCREASE IN EXPORTS TOURIST TRAFFIC GROWING (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Rec. January 2, 11.40 p.m.) London, January 1.

At the end of November it had fallen to twelve millions, as a result of reduced imports and increased exports. Irish eggs, butter and bacon now command top price on the English market. Tourist booking to Ireland has begun in many United States centres. Six liners called at Galway during the season, where there were none a few years ago. _____
