the Buifllo Courier, III an article on the
grain trade. furnishes some statements 0!
tntcre>, IN regard TO the capacity OF lake
Vessels, canal boats, and elevators. We
quote:
In the year 1925 the Erie canal WAS com.
plc;ed throughout It's whole lensth' ana
boats were first run from Buffalo to AIDA
ny. The usual dimensions Of the boats
theu in Use were 50 feet long by Ii feet .
Iuchcs in width tonnage about 50 tons.
In the year 1873 the first grain elevator
oycrcunslructcd, to be used exclusively for
sluriug and slowing grain and transferring
II from vessels 20 canal boats, was built In
his city. Its storage capacity was $1,000
bushels, end It's transfer capacity 13,0CO
bushels per day. The size Of our best work
in" elevators now is equal to The storage OF
from SOC. 600 10 500,0 bushels, and their
transfer capacity is 100000 bushels day.
Tac storage ca pacity OF all the elevators now
in TIL, CITY is about 100000 bushels.
Previous 10 the time when grain eleTa-
tor. were built and came into general use,
al Grain was transferred from the Vessct 10
the canal-boat by the " scale and hopper
i'll drafts Of from five to eight bushels. o,
Three canal-boat loads OF 1000 to 2,0oO
hu-heis Of wheat-for that was the extent
ol the capacity OF boats ut the time OF the
building OF the first e!evator-was consid-
cred a cargo for the largest-sized vessels OF
that day. For such vessel TO discharge her
cargo in three DAYS was deemed extremely
good bu,incss. The operation often con-
surn"a Xix days.
III lS7, the year Of the Irish famine, the
LARGE MOVEMENT OF GRAIN
at this port caused great enlargement OF
he lake vessels built for the trade, and also
brought steam vessels into the grain trans
port carrying 10000 to 16, 600 bushels each.

storage capacity. These had entirely su-:
perseded the use Of the old-sashfoned
"scaie and hopper" while the canal.boats
had also stretched their dimensions to a ca
pacity Of $500 bushels of wheat. In 1855
thccsrgo OF a cana-boat had increased to
5000 bushels wheat, and lake vessels
cargo had enlarged TO 90, 900 or %, 900 bush

To 5000 bushels. In 1865 the canal boat
carried 1000 bushels, and the vessel 10000
10 IS 900. In 1870 the boats cargo had en-
larged to 5000 bushels, and the vessels
cargo to from ii 900 to 81, 600 bushels. The
largest cargo Of grain ever brought into
this port 10y sailing vessel came here this
season on the four. masted schooner Richard
Winslow. 1t was 60. 0C0 bushels OF corn.
During the present season-witb two
months and a-hulf Of navigation still to
run-therc have been received here some
$40, GOO, 1913 barrels Of -four and B,60i ,546
bushels grain, indicating that the receipts
Of this year Will nearly, II not quite, equal
those Of any year in the history Of the trade.
The greatest year thus far was 1862. when
oa account OF the war the Mississippi and
other routes were closed and the demand
for produce was almost unprecedented.
The receipts of that year, including flour
reduced to grain, were 1882 454 bushels.
The average time consumed in the round
trip This season, on the canal. will be day
less than last year. AND several days less
tnan in any year previous to 1870.
About the year 1853,
THE FIRST sTEAM-TuG
was brought to this port, and used to tow
vessels in and out Of hrrbor. Previous to
thit time vessels sailed in and out when
the weather was favorable, and when such
was not the case they were pulled in by
!, lines fastened to the sides of the docks,
etc. Now all sailing vessels are regularly
towed out and in.
\ cargo Of 50, 900 bushels is taken from
vessel by one of our elevators, weighed in
, drafts OF one to two thousand bushels, and
; put in bin at the rate of 5000 TO 7 600 BUSH
els per hour; or in other words, the cargo
. i uuloaGed in seven to eight hours. A
canal boat carrying 5000 bushels can be
, loaded 1T the elevator in one hours time !!
J Each lot OF grain is stored at our eeva-

bushels or 4 cargo Of $4,000. 1t is ut all

to report to him, and in cases where reports
may be withheld, or partial, on account OF
the partisan character of the official, he
