BRITISH TRADE
STEADY IMPROVEMENT RAILWAYS BAROMETER TRAFFIC RECEIPTS GROWING SIGNIFICANT STATISTICS By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received September 14, 5.45 p.m.) British Wireless RUGBY. Sept. 13 A significant feature of the railway traffic receipts for the past week, whicli show an advance on the four main lines of £IOI,OOO over the corresponding week of last year, is that the increase is due almost entirely to the greater volume of merchandise anil coal carried. This reflects the continual steady improvement in the country's trade. The increase in receipts over those of last year is regarded as particularly satisfactory as the comparison is with a week in 1933 which showed an increase over the corresponding period of 1932 of £151,000.
