The Chesapeake and Ohio canal, it is expected
will be reopened throughout its entire length on
Monday next, and our Georgetown neighbors
whose business interests are dependent upon, or
closely connected with, that channel of COM
merce, will commence the season under unusu-
ally suspicious circumstances. The coal trade
Of our sister city, which is already one OF great
magnitude, promises this year to be larger and
more prosperous than ever before. Last year
about 9OO, 600 tons OF Cumberland coal were
landed at the DOCKS and this season it is beiev cd
from the fact that the canal has been put in
thorough repair and large number Of new boats
have been built, that the amount shipped from
the mines to Georgetown will reach 1 900 200
tons. TO forward this coal to its northern and
eastern destinations will, of coure. require an
additional number Of schooners and the en-
ployment OF an increased force of laborers.
Another very important interest in Georgetown
affected by the opening of the canal is the manu-
faeture Of -four, as most of the mills are run by
water drawn from the canal. And in this con-
nection 1t may be said, that while our people are
compelled to import from the states many arti-
cles which they do not manufacture at home,
they need not 60 outside of the District to OBJ
tain the great staple Of aour, which, as manu-
featured in our midst, is conceded to be at least
equal, If not superior, to the best produced in
the country. There are at present seven first
class Touring mills in Georgetown, and another
is to be erected during the present spring. All
Of these are supplied with modern machinery,
and have fiour producing capacity Of about
1900 barrels daily. To manufacture this
amount of -four would require about 900 bush
els Of wheat per day, or 100000 bushels per
month, provided the mills run on full time and
were run to the full extent Of their capacity
Last summer the millers suffered great incOn-
venienee on account Of low water in the canal
caused by defective feeder. As the latter has
been replaced by . new structure, it is believed
that there will be no complaint in regard to
scarcity Of water this summer. and consequently
we may look for q material increase in flour
production.
Within a year past the commercial facilities
Of Georgetown, as well as Washington, have
been increased by a new steam line to Balti-
more, and additional steamers placed on the
line to Philadelphia. The New York and Nor
folk steam lines, as we'll as the other lines men
toned, are well supported by the citizens of the
District, and the prospects now are that they
will do larger business this season than ever.
Weinstance the above facts to show the grow
ing importance Of the trade Of our sister city
and as an evidence Of prosperity which we are
glad to note.
