It will be seen by a telegraph dispatch in yes
terdays paper, that the Southern Michigan Road
was open to Coldwater about 80 miles from Tole-
do II is in contemplation to extend it twenty
FIVE miles further during the winter, and to the
ST. Josephs River, at the Indiana State line, ear
ly in the Spring. The iron is already provided for
that distance. That portion OF the road between
Toledo and Hillsdae will probably be re-aid with
T rail during the next season. The Chief En-
gneer of the Company nas advertised for propo
sails for the necessary ties. The remainder Of the
road in Michigan, and the Eastern division Of
that portion of it running through Northern In
diana, will probably be completed by the lst Of
August next
We alluded a few days since to the increase Of
our trade with Canada. Recent investigations at

the duties $5d622l, The exports from the q s.
to Canada in 1916 were s3,0l5,879, and in 1880,

We perceive by the Hudson Gazette that the
track of the Hudson River Railroad is nearly
ready for the rails between Greenbush and
Casteton, and it is the intention of the
Company to have the road between Hudson and
Greenbush ready for operation early in the Spring,
and connect the line by running boat between
that city and Pouehkeepsie until Fall, when it is
expected the whole road will be ready for opera

The amount of California gold received at the
Philadelphia Mint has averaged, for the last eleven
months two and half millions of dollars per
month, as will be seen by the following statement
from the Treasurer:
Gold deposited in November. Sf0O00O

Aggregate receipts OF California Gold Dust from M,
Jan 10 Nov. 80, Inclusive T55l000

This compared with the statement OF shipments
from San francisco, shows that large amounts of
Dust have left that port and been received at the
Philadelphia Mint, independent OF those officially
reported.
