RECEIPTS FOR LAST WEEK A SIGNIFICANT FEATURE (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 13. (Received Sept. 14, at 5.5 p.m.) A significant feature of the railway traffic receipts for last week, which showed 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 and coal carried, thus reflecting the continual and steady improvement in the country’s trade. The increase in business over last year’s receipts is also regarded as particularly satisfactory, as the comparison is with a week in 1933 which showed an increase over 1932 of £151,000.
