Tor the present season promises TO be quite
heavy, but We are sorry to say the indica-
lions are that the canal will not receive q
very large share of the increase. Several
heavy contracts have been made, which will
be filled by rail. The New Central Coal
Company is shipping about 800 tons per day
over the Pennsylvania railroad, and the
Borden is shipping smaller quantities over
the same road. The Baltimore aud Ohio
road having reduced its rates 25 cents per
Ton, Will doubtless be taxed 10 its full capa-
city. This, together with the shipments over
the Pennsylvania road, VIII leave the canal
a comparatively small amount. unless tolls
are reduced at once, of which there is little
probability.
