by the large sum of sINTY-FIvE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Were the comparison between the same number OF
DAYS for the two years, il would exhibit gam oi
upwards OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
favor of 1874 The receipts for the first month OF
Canal Navigation in 1911 will probably reach HALF
A MILLION OF DOLLARS. Alb. Eve Jour.
