MORE TRAFFIC BY RAIL
GREATER VOLUME OF SHIPPING. ENCOURAGING SIGNS SHOWN. British Wireless. Rugby, Sept. 5. Further evidence of the continued improvement of trade is shown in the traffic returns of the four principal railway systems. The total receipts last week amounted to £3,261,000, representing an increase of £129,000 on the corresponding week of last year. The recent favourable returns in overseas trade are also reflected in improvements in the entrances and departures of ships at United Kingdom ports engaged in the foreign trade. A return shows that the net tonnage of vessels arriving with cargoes in July was nearly 4 per cent, more than in July, 1933, while the departures with cargo have increased by 1.4 per cent. Arrivals in ballast are 0.7 per cent, smaller and departures in ballast 2.3 per cent, greater. Increases are general in the coasting trade, cargo arrivals rising by 1.8 percent, and departures by 1.7 per cent.
