Traffic blockades have been lifted, restoring u normal distribution of merchandise, and railway earnings In February were only 3.1 per cent, smaller than hist year, despite the severe weather at the start. Lit tle idle machinery is noticed In the Iron and steel industry, textile mills are increasingly active, and New England shoe shops are shipping more freely than n year ago.
