Gain. :. IS 626 10 s 796, 1853 81, Apo 468
These figures show a total gain both on
imports and exports over 1896 of 81, 1929, 46S;
an average of total volume per month of
81, 2S6, 1872 60. Taking these figures as ba-
sis and the same pro rata of gain would
be in twelve months a gain of So, 4l3, 923 20,
or total shipping trade of $l9.O79, 325. 20, or
nearly $2O,OOO,OOO The indications are that
BrunsWick's total volume of trade will
exceed considerably those figures as the
fan and winter months are by odds the
heaviest Slipping months
In 1885 unofficial figures show that the
total water shipments were $3OS5. 314. and
this during times when America was in
Its height of prosperity. Since then every
one knows that values have deprecated
fully one-fourth and in many instances
one-half. Taking even the former as a
basis. Brunswick following that the total
volume OF water shipments this year will
reach $20,0O0,OO0) has increased over seven
times that of 1895. Are not these figures
conclusive evidence of the substantial
foundation upon which the city is built ?
Do they not show, together with other
advantages enumerated in parts of this
edition, that Brunswick Is destined to be-
come great seaport city?
With the advent of vast shining
interests must come other kindred enter

nilicant item in the future growth and pros
