TRA FFIC.

The general traffic which must flow over this line is ex-
tremely large, and leaves no doubt of the remunerative
character of the undertaking. The directors estimate that
their annual earnings from way or local traffic, with the road
completed, will amount to upwards of 700,0001. sterling, the
outlay for which will not exceed 45 per cent.
A careful examination as to the immense supply of freight
existing at the summit of the road, the short distance from
market, the extensive and unsupplied demand for every item
of this freight at the eastern termini of the roads at Albany
and Troy, and at Lake Ontario West, for Western demand ;
the facts of the gradients, level or descending, in favour of
the preponderating traffic, the nominal cost of fuel, usually
one-fifth of the expense of maintaining a railway line, will,
when considered, fully justify the estimates of earnings, and
will prove most conclusively the capability of the road to
move at highly profitable rates the teeming products of the
forest.
