Benefits of a Free Cana

Reports from Albany, n. Y, state
that the first three months of canal nav
igation under the free system shows an
increase of POP, 1874 tons transported, as
compared with the corresponding three
months OF last year under the tolls sys-
tenn. As shown by the table of tonnage
for the past three months there were
transported 2,l69,473 tons, rs against
l,967.2S9 tons for the same months of
last year. The canal season opened
three weeks earlier last year and the
tonnage sheet had start of 470,279
tons over the sheet of this year, but in
IL weeks this has been reduced nearly
onc-half. There are over 16 and very
probably 20 weeks of navigation yet TO
come this season, SO that the free sys-
tenn will be pretty sure to show gain
OF 100000 tons transported over the
amount transported under the system
Of tolls. The chief increase of trans
portation has been in the ordinary west
efn grain produce, such as wheat, rye,
corn and oats, on which tolls were de-
manded last year A large increase is
noted in the number of boats, and the
time tariff is even reduced owing TO the
abolition by the free canal system, of
frequent and Oftentimes long stoppages
