The deficiency itself it will be seen wholly upon tb.

I'd very handsome and gives good promise for the
future. The Muskingum improvements and the Hooking
Cana, constituting the balance of works have also
added something the tolls of last year. Thus the
works have all increased their revenues while the deh
cheney found upon the cid and long established improve
ment.
The causes that have produced this result are to some
extent matter Of speculation At the last OF the
Board of Public Works, reduction Of IS per Gent was
made in the tolls, produce going no,th and mschsn
die passing the direction for hat termed short
distances lis policy, presume, based upon the heayy
shipments Of produce during the last years from points
south of Newark, the Ohio Canal to New York. by
way of New Orleans.
One of the causes and perhaps the important which
has contributed this reduction Of the of the Ohio
Canal is the fall which suddenly took place, during the
summer the prices produce and the consequent dsn.
holders sell uspOSItlOn hold
may have been somewhat encouraged by the great difficulty
from the character Of the weather during the fall and the
condition OF the roads in getting TO market. More par
culary does this Of the fall of prices apply che
article OF wheat Up to the middle OF July, this staple
commodity commanded good price, and Toward to
market with great activity: The effect Of this aas felt in
and July, increased from five thousand dollars per
week. those of corresponding periods the preceding
year Since the month Of July the price has declined and
very little comparatively speaking has gone forward
Taking our public works in the aggregate. consider the
prediction perfectly safe, that that they will. during the
coming year under all these circumstances, give in
upon the OF 1912 The Hooking canal has
yet been fairly tested The fourteen miles Of the south
end which extends tbs coal and salt regions
completed until late in the month OF August The
whole line now completed and the revenues Of the work,
during the year. will be materially increased.
The Wabash and Erie Canal did full and
cessiu operation until about the first OF May am advised
that the greater proportion OF the tolls this year have been
collected upon mportaons the amount OF expectations,
owing probably part, the that have operated
against the Ohio Canal having been very light.
The Miami Extension Canal, north Of pqua, and the
Sidney Feeder like the Wabash and Erie Canal were
not ready 70, operation until lae in the season. But
little to be expected from that work. until the hityour
miles, now under contract shall be completed. The in,
upon the Extension during the ast year. however,
favorable indication of the future.
