commentator giving in most respects the preference

minute inquiries of all persons able to afford him in

Canad.

Is NEw.YoRx ASLEEP p" What has given to N ew-
York its present Importance Undoubtedly its interest
and connection with the Western trade has had a great
effect in CHASING it as the Commercial City, and yet
now see its inhabitants sleeping as calmly cradle of
young infants while Eastern energy and capital rob-
bing Il of its very lfes bloodr-Corier Inquirer
The question is asked by many, why the Western
business of this State is so limited in New-York.-
Various reasons are assigned. AmoQG he many
Western States compared with Boston and Phila-
delphia, who have the means and facilities within
themselves to regulate the price OF transportation
whereas New-York has no means or facilities, but
are dependent and arc regulated by Albany and
Troy. who own and control ilty-seyen tow-boats,
carrying on an average two hundred and seventy
tons OF merchandise and nine steamers for towing
and connected with twenty lines of canal boats
from thence to Buffalo, forming a combined mo-
nopoly which has no equal in North America they
make their combination prices, and no person can
ship goods by boats the Hudson river !estin.
ed TO Buffalo, but what have to 60 in these lines,
and pay the following rates Of Transportation On
cotton shirting, sheetngs, eacoes, bats, bonnets,
heavy goods Soc, light goods ITO. Portsmouth, o.,
1873 cents heavy, 2i5 light; Cincinnati, O., 2De
heavy, 265 light From Boston to Albany by rail
shoes, bonnets, and all other domestic goods 25
cents per l00b, and ~ cents from Albany to Bufia-
10, making ~ cents per lOOlb From Boston to
Buffalo, cents light goods, II cents heavy goods,
and to western places IN proportion From PHI.
ladelphia to Pittsburgh in six days by canal and
railroad without stoppage at any intermediate
place, ll2 cents per l0Ob tor heavy goods, and l37
cents for light. From Pittsburgh to Portsmouth
and Cincinnati, 20 cents per lOOlb. and other places
In proportion.
If this statement is about correct it will appear
that Boston sends her goods to Buffalo on all domes-
tic manufactures 81 60 lees per ton than from New
York, and 81 60 less on light goods. Philadelphia
sends her goods to Portsmouth, Ohio, at $l1 20
heavy goods per ton, light goods Sl7 60, less than
lakes from New York added. and in proportion to
other places. From Philadelphia to Cincinnati.
Ohio, $l5 20 on heavy goods, and S2l 60 on
light goods,S.and risk of losses from New York
The situation of New York is such that by the
same exertions as are made use OF IN the neighbor
ing cities. No city in this Union come into
| competition with her merchandise OF all descrip
tons; under proper organlzaton can be transport
ed to Buffalo for 80 Genus per 100 lbs Without some
| exertions the part of New York. her western
| trade will not increase.
