The Coal TRADE-In speaking OF the I'M
proved prospect of the spring trade OF Cum
berland, the Alleganian says: "The indications
are altogether favorable tor heavy coal bust
ness by canal during the ensuing year, and a
consequent improvement in general trade. BY
the time the weather removes the embargo on
navigation the canal will doubtless be in tho
rough order, and the reconstruction Of the Al
exandria aqueduct, with the advantage it al
fords of that fine port Tor the discharge OF
cargoes, will relieve the coal trade of the annoy
ing delays which have at times so seriously
hampered it, growing out Of the insuficency
of facilities for transhipment at Georgetown.-
This will, in all probability, increase the coal
traffic to considerable extent, and our COM
mercial and industrial interests generally will
participate in the benefits that must flow from
the corresponding increase Of disbursements re-
CURED to move the products Of our mines to
tide-water.
