an advance of one-ith go per cent) on the
whole valuation. Now let us turn TO New
York, after the opening of the Erie canal
That great work was opened in 1925, and
let us compare the valuation OF that year
with the third year thereafter;
1925, valuation, real and per-
sonal, $lOl,l60,046
1926, lO7 7,7sl
1927, 1l2,2l1,926

An increase of near $l3,OOo.0Oo, or 12a
per cent, in the same time as Boston ~increas-
ed its valuation $2O,OOO,OOO. These figures
are an irresistible illustration ofthe influence
of the Western trade, whether obtained by
canals or railways, in adding TO the wealth OF
the Allan tic cities.
New York, if she wills, can still hold her
present command over the Western trade
But this will require immediate efforts, such
as will test the energies of her merchants
He is blind who does not see tnat at the pre-
sent time she is menaced by a spirit of com.
petition on the part Of wealthy, enterprising
and powerful cities, such as never before oc-
Cured in her past history. But with an eff
fort she holds the game in her own hands,
The Western trade is a prize worthy of those
who would struggle for the colossal CONNER
cial power of America. A city sustained by
that trade, can neverlanguish, for the increase
of production of the Western states is almost
boundless. It's oity must be far greater than
even Alexandria or Thebes. So long as
INew-ToTk TeuIaius at the head OF the western
trade, where our state pride and her own
commanding position justly place her, il
must irresistibly advance in wealth, influence
and population, until she will be known nol

great city of the lcorld. n

 WoNDERs or THE CoTTow MkNUTAcroRx.-< Nor will our wonder be abated, winch we considef the results of these establishments. A single cot ton tactory-that of the MeTrimach af Lowell produces 250,000 yards Of cotton cloth week. or 12, ,5O0. 900 yards year. There upe about 5o0c yards of thread in yard of cloth; thus every work ing day, this factory spins 600 million feet of thread; 90 millions every working hour, and near ly one million every minute! Thus, cord of suf-
 icent length to belt the world at the equator, is produced by single factory, in tts6 hours. This is the work of one establishment, and is not more than two hundredth part of the whole mannfac- ture of the United States. The length of thread drawn out by the cotton hctofies of the world, cannot be less than fifteen millions of feet every working second. or every time the heart beats !-- Such is the bewilderihg magnitude of the scale upon which this single branch of human industry is conducted 6
 WONDERS or THE IRON MANUEACToRY.-The amount of iron annually produced in the United States, is 300,000 tons, all of which, and much more, is consumed in this country. The amount of nails alone. is supposed to be 5000 tons. Forty thousand casks, or four million pounds, are annu- ally made by the Boston Co.,, on the mill-dam. If we suppose that the nails will average 160 to a pound, the number here produced each working day. would be nearly two millions! This is supp posed to be but the twenty fifth part of the nail manufacture ot the United States! It seems in- credible that about 50 millions of nails are made, bought, sold and used, every day, in the United States--yet such seems to be the fact.
