A compilation from the monthly total furnished by the Railxvay Department, . giving the tonnage of - goods trains running through the Otira Tunnel from \Vestland to Canterbui'y for ihe past year reveals some interesting facts. By comparison xvith tlie twelve months preeeding, for instance, the total shows an increase oi 65,486 tons. A further proof that the traffie is groxving month by montt is given by a comparison xvith th« figures for the year 1929, xvhen th» aggi-egate xvas 579,316 tons. Outshadoxving all other factors in producing such remunerative returns foi the Department xvas the mining deadlock in New South Wales, demand for coal coming not *only from consumeri in the South Island xvho had hitherta used imported coal, hut trom the Commonwealth itself. The latter orders,. of course, were shipped frapi Greymouth, but tlie others made a difference of many thousands of tons in the goods traffie on the Midland line. The earthquake and other causes affected traffie. but a factor which has compensated for this loss of freight to ihe Railxvay Department has been the state of the Grey bar, which has compelled many eonsignors to use the railxvays instead of shipping.
