Canal Commerce of Neao York.

The statistics of the New York canals for the
present year exhibit an immense increase in the
quantity of breadstuffs forwarded 10 tide water at
Albany. From the opening of navigation to the
end of the second week in July, the quantities of
flour, wheat and corn, left at Underwater were as
follows: ,277,S 1893 bbs. flour; 669,377 bushels
wheat; 3,5o3, 1854 bushels corn.
By reducing the Wheat to Flour, the quantity
OF the latter lefta tde-water this wear, compared
with the corresponding period of last year, shows
an increase of 664,56l bols of Flour. The in
crease of corn over the last year is L,996,486
bushels
The quantities of some other articles of this
vast internal Eastward commerce are as follows;
other grains besides wheat, corn, rye an barley,
l,335,4S9 bushels: butter ,222,l70 l,s lard
8, 395,27o lbs; bacon 9,853, 1868 lbs.
The explanation of this unexampled exhibit is
undoubtedly the cheapness of canal transporta-
lion and when we consider that Virginia might

open water channel TO the West at far less cost
than New York has already borne, and is about
10 encounter afTesh we cannot but wonder at the
shorts ightedness Of those who have directed her
councils. The New York navigation opened, in
l849, on the lst of May; in 1850, on the 22d of
A Dril; in 1851, on the 9th day of April. Our
canal would probably never be closed by ice for
fortnight in the year. Then the valley of the
Ohio and of the great Mississippi, presents to us
a richer reservoir of trade than ever New York
possessed in the basin of the lakes. A canal
through Virginia would also possess the superior
advantages fpresenting the shortest route by wa
ter from he Mississippi to the Atlantic, and of
bearing irs traffic to the best port on the Atlantic
coast of North America. What, then, but moss
dscreditable lack of energy, prevents the St.
from actively prosecuting her water line ILL.,
telligent minds in other States, and especial in
the North, as we have reason o know, regard our
supineness with absolute astonishment; for il is
well understood out of Virginia that she, of all
the States on the Atlantic slope, has it in her power
to secure the best and most important thorough
fare of Western trade.
