country One thing is certain with the certainty that
the new law to go into operation next month,

The freight Of barrel of -four is 81 81 from New
York to Liverpool, and 81 on the Erie canal from
Buffalo to Albany. 90 81 for these two items,
leaves but little out Of barrel Of -four for other ex
penses and profits, and for remuneration to the
farmer. The exravagant freights upon the Erie
canal are in consequence OF the restriction Of the
railroads from carrying freight The weather to-
day is such that the canal must now close, and
then the railroads continue the business. They
have already agreed to take -four through 49, cts.
