Here is decline this year. compared with 1878,
of 90 Ol 900 bushels. Thus is direct loss TO New
York, ns nearly every bushel of the 5O,000,000
shipped in 1873 was delivered at tins port. The
canal commerce pours into the lap of New-iorll as
naturally and regularly as the waters of the Hudson
flow into the sea. The decadence therefore of the
trade of the water route is matter for the seTiouS
consideration Of our business men, The New-lork
RAILWAYS have used every effort TO arrest the diver
siou. but they have simally failed. The grain bust
ness of Ncw-York City has declined from 5S,3 per
cent of the entire movement in 1873, to 400 per
cent in 1879; while both PSladelphia and Balti-
more have nearly dodbcd their business in the same
period Unpleasant as the fact may be, it Is
nevertheless true that the facilities of
our Southern rivals for receiving and handling
grain by rail quite as good as our own, and in
some respects much better and should the grain
trade all leave the water route, New-York City
would have TO be content to divide on ab0ut equal
terms with Philadelphia and Baltimore this valuable
business which she has hitherto nearly mOn0pOized
In view of these facts and the experience of this
year it would seem to be the part of wisdom for
business men to sec if some means cannot he de-
yised for saving the canal commerce. The average
freight on wheat from Chicago to New-YOrk by
water this year, % cents, represents very nearly
the actual cost, including canal tolls Of moving tho
property. A channel that has demonstrated its
ability to do business cheaply should not be
abandoned without an effort 10 save IL.
