REASONS FOR FURTHER DEVELOPING THE EXISTING
ADAPTIONS OF THE BRUNSWICK DOCK TO THE
TIMBER TRADE, RATHER THAN DESTROYING
Because, all the reasons which originally prompted the
cloak remainin_force_ this day., with additional
reasons. which did not then exist.
Because, as yet, this locality is not fairly developed, either
by land or by water; the,trailic to and from the Exchange is
virtually 'blocked up, being confined in narrow streets which
might be aigiaetied,with considerable advantage to the public
and general convenience.
Because, to this day, the mahogany trade has always been
located irf the Toxteth Dock, which is isolated from the other
docks, and has only one entrance to and from the river, while
the Brunswick Dock has, for the last three years, been placed
at the like disadvantage by the destruction of the communica-
tion between it and the Coburg Dock, which communication
has for that time been replaced by a paved street; whereas for
twenty-five . years- it did connect the Brunswick with the •
Coburg Dock, and taus with the whole range of docks soutk of
the Salthonse.
Because, this perpetual disturbing of docks is simply an
experiment,,whilst-the absolute loss to all establishments in the
4isturbed quarter and the very trade itself is most serious in a
pecuniary point of view.
Because, partly through the obstruction to the proper work-
ing of the Brunswick Dock, freights in the wood trade, which
ruled, formerly, lower to Liverpool than any other port, have
lost this distinction.
'Because, it is one thing to refuse to appropriate the newly-
bought Harrington Dock land for the extension of the wood
trade further south, and another thing to destroy the trade
altogether south of the port (it being there best located for
internal transit and local consumption), by practically destroy-
ing the. Brunswick Deck as far as. this trade is concerned.
BecaUse, no article is imported in the Port of Liverpool and
therein worked and consumed to any such extent as wood.
Why then needlessly place such article (so costly in removal in
proportion to its value) to the disadvantage of any town
locality?
Because, this consideration was primary in the minds of
those who formerly constructed and worked the docks of .the
Port of LiVerpool, each dock having possessed, on its quay, an
incline for wood being landed or reloaded, such docks extend-
ing, in my remembrance, from the south boundary of Parlia-
ment-street to the dry dock basin north of. Georges Dock—all
other docks being comparatively new.
, Because', it seems not to have been brought to the mind. of
the Dock Committee that the wood trade in general, or, at
least, the mahogany trade in particular, requires specifically
an -import and an.export dock. The Toxteth, disconnected as
it is from every other dock in Liverpool, may not answer the
purpose ; but the Brunswick (if connected as it teas, and
ever ought to have been, with the Coburg,) especially answers
the said reqUirement of an import and export dock.
• Because the. furniture woad trade not being indispensably
tied to Liverpool, as the cottore,trade for instance, and being a
trade of infinite detail, bringing numerous strangers to the
port, ought to be fostered, and not wantonly disturbed.
For ins ance, at last Friday's auction sales, there were pre-
-sent 109 actual buyers from all parts of the united Kingdom,
the number of miles travelled over by them for this purpose
amounting in the aggregate to 23,000---to the benefit of railway
and other local interests---and these sales occur nearly every
*fortnight. • . .
Because, in London one entire side of the West India Dock
is granted to the maghogany and furniture wood trade; and
taking to account the equal extent of this trade in Liverpool, it
is amazing _that the linutcd space and comparatively inappro-
priate docks are made to for carrying on this important
branch of the wood trade.

India and China rates are without alteration,
and tonnage has been obtained to a considerable
extent for the China coal contract at the rates we
quote. Homewards there has been .a brisk demand
for ships for rice from Akyab at 628'6d to 65s to
the United Kingdom or Continent, but the rates
are weaker, owing to the recent fine weather, as
there is now less prospect of an unfavourable
harvest in this country. Other return freights
are unchanged. Black Sea and Mediterranean
grain freights are also influenced by the impiOve"-
ment in the weather, and the rates are lower, and
less inquiry for ships. To the U. S. ports rates
remain the same. as last week.
