In comparing the imports Of 1878 with
the extraordinary figures for 1871 and

1871 was 100000 pounds, and in 1872,

largest figures. ever reached. Last year tho
supply was 245,OOO,OO0 pounds; showing

and moderation in manufacturing, we

These remarks apply TO the supply of
wool rather than to the actual consump.

not materially differ. The difficulty in

The Competition That tho baltimore a
Ohio Road Must Meet,

Wo published on Saturday tho results
OF an interview with Vice President Key.
ser in regard to the history Of through
and local frcights upon the Baltimore (
Ohio road, There is every reason to be-
lieve that tho Legislature will favor re-
vision Of the local schedule that will meet
the views OF shippers moro satisfactorily
than any previous rates ever put in force
on that line. This We say without mean.
ing that they will adopt extreme views
touching tho equalization OF through and
local freights. As showing what through
rates imply on the trunk limo railroads
of the country, We may refer to the
fact that tho report OF the Now York
and Erie canal has just been published, by
which 1t is shown that the cost Of trans.
portation per ton between Chicago and New
York by lake and canal has been reduced
from an average OF 900 cents in 1881 to
3.07 in 1878, and that tho average rate Of
freight on bushcl OF wheat was only 9.2l
cents. Nine years ago the tolls alone on
the Erie canal amounted TO 6.ol cents
per bushel. This reduction in tho cost Of
transportation by the water routes has
forced the rail routes to a similar reduc.
ton during the season OF navigation, say
for eight months in the year.
fthc city Of Baltimore is going to com.
pete with New York us great exporting
port for western freight, tho Baltimore
Road must be prepared to meet these rates
on her Chicago business. Else her steam.
ships have been built in vain, and all her
expenditures at Locust point will avail
very little. Whether she can do so Is ct
least problematical. There arc three great
lines aud water routes to compete with,
and the competition Of the future Is to be
very sharp, New York City hasawakened
to tho fact that she has not held her own,
relatively, in the growth otthe export pro-
vision trade, and the papers Of that city. are
clamoring for complete Miping out Of all
tolls on the Erie canal. New York sees
that the Canada canals are being enlarged
