The daily average output ior June was omy 14,344,813 gallons, or a decrease of alb out 125,000 gallons as compared with May, so that thed emand in excess of production brought about a reduction of approximately 50,000,000 gallons in the stocks on hands. The stocks on hand at the close of June were estimated at 750,000,000 i gallons.

SOUTH HAS ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER SECTIONS Washington, Aug. 26.?"Producers and consumers in the South now enjoy a distinct advantage over other sections of the United States in respect of freight rates and their relative position is better than it has (been at any time in the past/' says a statement issued by Vice President Lincoln Green of the Southern Railway System. "This present advantage springs," the statement continues, "from the fact that freight rates outside the South have been advanced to a much greater extent than within the South. When rates in the Eas t were advanced five percent in 1916 and 15 (?i i m IT iu 11 iiv increases were made in the South. On August 26, 1920, rates in the East were increased 40 percent and the West and Southwest 35 percent; in the South the increase was only 25 percent while rates between the South and! a+liai" ?*a?a i VVMVJL WtAIVVJL1VO TT Ui t JIIVI. t^OOCU UU" ly 33 1-3 percent. v \ "The result of all this has been to give Southern manufacturers a gireat advantage in rates on .both raw materials and finished products, an advantage which is shared by Southern consumers. As an example: A cotton manufacturer at Greenville, S. C., | drawing raw cotton from Hattifrtrarg, Chicago, paid in 1914 a combined rate of $1.14 per 100 pounds, while the manufacturer in Lowell, Mass., drawing his cotton from Hattisfouxg > and shipping to Chicago, paid $1.30 i giving the Carolina manufacturer a' rate advantage of 16 cents. Under : present rates the LoWell manufiac- i turer pays for this service $2.63, j while the Carolina manufacturer pays only $1.88 1-2, giving him a < rate advantage of 74 1-2 cents. IT... " W. A.
