Projects for Cheap Transports.

The Erie canal region is alive with pre-.
paratiOns for the opening Of the canal.
The reduction of tolls fifty per cent on
the bulk Of the products transported will,
II Is believed, cause an unprecedented &c.
tivity in the business done. The New
York journal Of Commerce POUNDS great
expectations upon the result Of these low
tolls. Itsuys;
"The canal will swarm with boats, rs
in the palmy days Of the great water way.
Every little helps, and tho abolition Of
the mileage on boats, though small for
each trip will call into use all that are
possibly available for service. The mer.
chants Of Buffalo aud New York aud
other cities and towns which have most at
stake in low tolls do not exaggerate in
their rejoicings the immense Importance
Of the step taken by the Legislature and
the Canal Board. They believe that the
commerce Of the West, 80 much Of which
has been lost to the State by past bad
management, will be fully recovered"
The Journal says; "What will the
railroads dot" and answers that II does
not know and does not care. 1t welcomes
these corporations to revise the freight
. rates to suit themselves, and predicts
that they will cut down their rates as
they did last year to compete with the
canals, This, itsays, "ifit is done, would
be the greatest victory Of the new policy
OF low tolls. 1t matters not to the com.
merce and trade of New York whether
the canals or railroads are the feeders
thereof. II the real function Of the canals
is to be hereafter nothing more than to
coere the railroads to put down their
freights to reasonable point every sum.
mer, that will be sufficient reason for
maintaing the canals though atan annu.
al loss to the State"
