B SVSVSV et Stockholm, October 17, (AP)— Sweden’s industries will be affected ed hoth favorably and unfavorably by the cctflement of the Rubr conflict. according to the third = quarteriy statement for 1923 which has just been iszued by the Roval Board' of Trade. It is pointed out that in normal times ilie Ruhr district took abont two thirds of the total export of Swedish iron ore. This market was closed t'i; French cceupaton, and the Swed: i« ore producers have been divert ing their shipments to America and elsewhere, while large stocks have ai £9 been accomulating in home ports. In the near future Germany will doubtless again become a large - im porter of Swedish ore. On the other hand, Swedish = ma chine shops, especially thogse manufac turing mining machinery, raper mak ‘ng machinery, and motors have been prospering hecause of previously se -Ir=rc competition from Germany ceas: ed with the occupation of the Rubr. Renewed competitive offerings from Central Burope will force the prices an Swedish machinery down to the minimum margin of prefit and the hopes of heing able to continue con derable exports iie in the high quality of native materiale used and the excellence of workmanship. 200 pounds and is unucually fast on his feet, Tech ‘s expecting tosend a gtrong line up on the gridiron for the contest. 5 THE CORDELE DISPATCH LEE, JACKSON AND NOMINATED BY STATE' LI BRARIAN FOR STONE MOUNTAIN ‘ME'MORIAL GROUP iiditos Nacshville, Tenn., Gctober 18.—Rob ert K.
