the Board of Trade of Chicago,
Milwaukee, Toledo, Detroit, Cleve-
land, Buffalo and Oswego met at the
Chamber of Commerce last night, for
the purpose of considering the expe-
diency and practicability of making a

the Niagara Canal bill by Congress.
A committee of six was appointed by
the Chairman to proceed to Wash
ington to urge the passage of the bill.
The Convention then adjourned, but
met again this morning at 10 o'clock
and was called to order. A resolu-
ton was offered to the effect that the
successful development of the re-
sources of the West require increased
facilities and cheaper rates to the

and proper that the general Govern
ment should extend substantial aid
to the enterprise, and approving bill
