<3ouraaG coutai,ls tue following:
We publish this morning, full tabular state-
ments Of the railroad business Of Fsceport for
1852, to which nc call the attention Of our read
ers.
As compared with oiIer towns in Northern
Illinois. whose figures for 1853 we hase before
| US, we find that Frecport stands foremost: No
reports that we have before us. are rs full aud
complete rs those Of this station. but wc arc
able to note the following points Of comparison
| Or contrast Us tue case may he:
The number of bushels Of wheat forwarded
from, Freepo1t in 1889, wus 3ae .:SS;'. From Rock
| ford there were forwarded .S4 ,394 bushels
| From Polo, 33SG 050 bushels.
There were ,349, ,4it lbs pork shipped iron
Freeport, besides ..:9s live hoge. Rockford
| shipped 1.65G live hogs; hoH much pork Is no
. stated. POLO shipped 5ls,S00 lbs. Number
head Of lire hogs not stated. We put Freepor
| nns Of Chicaao, and haze yet to ses tav figure
/ that will hest ns
During 1855 Freeport received 5,Ss1, ,o5s fee
| Of lumber. Gllcna received 3.@oo,000 feet
Rockford, ,o25, jul feet, aud Polo el5 600 itef
, Thus it will be .cen that Frceport is not onl,
the best wheat aud pork market, but is also th'
best lumber market in this section.
, The ticket sales in Ffceport, not reckonlri
| t!losr Std over the Racine road. Of which VI
