The intercourse between the Canadas is, as shown
by the above figures, rapidly increasing, and will
continue to increase in nearly the same ratio for
years to come, which will greatly augment the
business upon the lake, and increase the tolls upon
the Champlain canal. The number Of British ves-
sells entered and cleared at the custom house,
Rouse's Point, in the quarter ending 3lst Decem-
Der, 1649, Ia 275; American vessels 259-total 634
besides two lines Of steamers daily each way.
The returns from the other custom house, on the
opposite side of the lake, would undoubtedly show
great increase of business that side of the
lake. Large quantities of Canadian flour, grain
and ashes, have passed through the lake in bond
for New York, TO be exported from there.
One firm in Burlington, Vermont, the last sea-
son, shipped upwards Of $4,000 barrels -four and
several thousand bushels wheat from Cleveland,
Toledo and Chicago, direct TO Burlington, via the
Welland canal, through Lake Ontario, down the
81. Lawrence, and up the Richelieu river, through
the Chambly canal Os,oego Times.
