The Commerce OF the Lakes.

The Pennsylvania Statesman, in a long and
carefully prepared editorial endeavors to show ia
the citizens OF Philadelphia the importance of es.
tablshing connection with the Lakes. We make
one or two extracts from the mass of statistics.
Ihe following table, compiled from authentic
sources, shows the exports and imports at the most
important points the Lakes, as far back as 1876
Buffalo, $4S, ,9S9 ,ll6; Cleveland, Sl2, 1855, ITO
Erie, S3 '675,246; Chicago, 50 $50. The i'm.
port and export commerce at each of these por,s
has greatly increased since that year. The est
mated trade of the port of Erie, for the wear 1850
was about SIS. 100000. That of Buffalo, exclu.
sive of Black Rock and Tonawanda, reached. in
1850, the extraordinary sum of SIC, 1870. .7O5. OF
this amount, more than S22 900 900 was received
al Buffalo by the Lakes from the West, and over
Sa7, 1900 from the East, by canal and railroads
In the year 1913, the commerce of the port of Buf
ialo, as now on file in the Typographical Bureau
al washington, was $780, l40 ,062, showing an in.
crease in two years of $lO,O4O,643. This shows
'he commerce OF the Lakes, at Buffalo alone, ex-
e'us'e Vi the numerous other ports on the south of
Lake Efle' at winch, for many years, large and
increasing business has been done. Ii is also ex
elusive OF the passenger trade, which, in 1916,
yielded 81 ,25O00O, and for 1850 is estimated at
81, 500 900.
lhere is another view of the subject, which. per
maps more strongly demonstrates the rapid growth
the present Importance and future promise of the
Lake commerce. The following statistics of the
arrivals and departures of Lake vessels at and frm
the port OF Buffalo, in 1850, are as reliable as thew

presented themselves as recipients, and that the

IHE REMOVAL OF THE CoURTs.-A few days
since we suggested the propriety of placing two
OF the courts in the large rooms of the Municipal
Hall. In conversation with many members of the
bar they objected to the separation of the courts
but all concur in the wish to move the courts up
town. nearer to the portion OF the city occupied by
the lawyers. But there is another better reason
for the move: il is to bring the courts nearer the
centre of business. Now the courts are more than
hall mile from the postoffice, and still further
from the business part of the city. Thus long
walk, and loss of time, are entailed on LAWYERS,
jurors witnesses and clients. The present build.
ing is old and dilapidated. 1t has been suggested
that the large building, known as the Merchants
Bank, opposite Lafayette Square, shall be leased.
This would accommodate four of the courts. The
Municipal Hall would hold two more, and thus the
courts, though on different sides of the square
would be near enough to obvate the objection to
the separation. We call the attention of the Gen.
eral Council to the subject. That there must be
some change, is admitted by every one /; but what
that change shall be, is now matter for fair dis
cussion.
