The total amount Of tolls and freight collect
ed On all the New York canals for thirty-three
ye.1s past WAS s2os, 1885, s's7e' which was thuF
Freghtto carriers. slo3
Tat Is Is lie State received nearly So POI cen
OF the 4oc charged in 1869 for canal froighI
from Buffalo to Albany, the State took 23c
| leaving only tic to tho carrier.
In Consequence Of these c1acGons, soms
Classes Of freight have almost altogether lei
the canals, the movement.frpm Buffalo by ca
nal during the last five years being II perce
less than for the five years preceding, and tht
delivery Of flour at tide-water by canals il
1869 was only little more than one-tenth O
, that delivered in 1852. The decrease IN th'
.. movement Of grain is also great, though no nc
90 extensive as in the case .ot flour. OF tn
( ETsin receipts at tho five lako ports, 81 Pc
cent was received at Buffalo and Oswego il
8 1860, while only so per cent was receiyes
during the past year. The influence Of higi
. tolls in this direction increases q
{ railroads mcguire facilities for car
rying grain. The railroads canno
! ca11y brcadstnfrs go cheaply as the waite
! route, but they can easlly compete with th
! water route if e1orbitant tolls arc charged
and If the State oppreaaes the commerce Ina
r eeeks it's borders.
