THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANA

THE MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL.
Fhe Manchester ship canal proved
during the year 1897 somewhat OF a dis
appointment to its managers In 1893
the gross income for tolls Increased
over the previous year about 81OO,OVVi
In 1895 the increase In income was
about 1926, 900, and it was confidently
hoped that these earnings would go on
for years at constantly augmenten
rate Of progression. Unfortunately,
the record of last year puts check
upon this anticipation. The amount OF
earnings from tolls In 1897 was only
100000 greater than in 1896, IN spite
Of the fact that extraordinary eitort
made by the managers TO build up new
transatlantic steam connections with
Manchester. The reason for this de-
cline in growth is doubtless to be found
In the increased activity which has
characterized the dock management OF
the port of Liverpool. The dock board
OF the latter place, realizing the disas-
trous effect that a drafting away of a
considerable part OF the commerce OF
Liverpool would have upon the well
fare of the city, has arranged for con-
cessions IN port, and dock charges OF
various kinds, for improved railway
connections. and in other respects has
made it's city a more advantageous

years ago, and proposes, as we have re
