The number Of arrivals at Buffalo in the year which
ended June /, 1874, was TAO, that of departures
776. The population OF Buffalo in 1916 was
2S,346, being an increase Of over ftyfve per cent
upon that of 1910.
To the above few but striking items of the COM
mercial statistics Of the respective places may be
added the following general observations
The wheat crop OF ONO in 1914 was estimated
at $685. 900 bushels, being only little more than
threeffths of that Of 1912 and yet, in 1914, Ohio
exported 100000 bushels of wheat, one-half OF
which may fairly be assumed as having been ship
ped from ports on the Lakes. This year the wheat
crop represented from all quarters being greater
by 20,000,00 Of bushels than that of 1912, 1.-THE
largest ever raised up to that year,, which was
l03, 100000 bushels. The wheat crop of Michi-
gan is comparatively larger than that of any other
State in the Union. With population of 100000,
she raised this year at least 100000 bushels II is
estimated that Illinois has this year surplus of
100000 bushels. The immense amount Of Lake
commerce, and the importance Of that channel OF
communication between the Western grain-growing
States and the Eastern markets, are shown by the
fact that the receipts of wheat and -four at Troy and
Albany during the first week of the present month
was l46,497 barrels of the latter, and 1876, $50
bushels of the former; together equal to 858,665
bushels Of wheat If every reasonable deduction be
made from this amount for the wheat and flour
shipped from different points on the canal within
the State of New York, and produced in that State,
the amount left, being the produce of the Western
States, and reaching tidewater through the naviga-
ton Of the lakes, will be surprisingly great.
The export Of wheat in lS43 from Cleveland
Detroit, Sandusky, and Chicago was l,s94,942
bushels, that of flour sl2,9O3 barrels together
equal to 5,959,457 bushels of wheat, and worth
$4,5O0,OOO.
