COST OF THE CANALS.


Il VIII BE More Than MaAe Up By the
Redsctiea In Rates.
New York, Nov. a.-The Engineer.
ing News this week discusses editori-
ally the proposed expenditure on the
New York state canals. II shows that
il the proposed Improvements reduce
the cost Of carriage I cent per bushel.
which appears probable, the saving
with traffic on the canal equal to that
Of 1894 will amount to 81, OSS, 600 peg
annum- 1t deems it likely, however,
that. with the canal deepened and i'm
proved as proposed. the traffic will in.
crease to what it was in 1880. and il
this occurs the annual saving in cost of
freight transportation will amount to
81. 1872 900, or q return Of nearly IS per
cent per annum on the expenditure
which the state proposeA Concerning
the objection that q ship canal might
supersede the Erie canal, it says:
"a canal rate az low as one.half
cent q bushel from Buffalo to New
York (which seems likely to be reached
when the proposed Improvements are
made), amounts to only q tenth of a
cent a ton per mile. Remembering
that freight rates on the open ocean on
the lines Of heaviest traffic and lowest
rates, are often rs much a. this, and
seldom less than half Of it. it ought to
be easy TO see that even were q ship
canal open to the great lakes it by no
means follows that ocean vessels
would afford to use it in competition
with cheaply built barges on the Erie
canal"

Dempsey was asked several weeks

that it would be impossible for him 70

He never preserved any Of the numer-

much whether any one ever looked
them up or not His modesty when
the ring was under discussion was re.
