RAILROAD MATTERS.
Canadian Enterprises That May In
crease Portiandss Trade.

Certain internal improvements which
are now going on in the transportation
system OF Canada are expected still fur
Their to increase the business of the Grand
Trunk in Portland, and of the Canadian
Pacific in Boston. There is a movement
on foot to charter Canadian Inland
Transportation company for the purpose
of placing on the upper lakes fleet OF
steel steamers which will be fit to COM
pete sharply with the American carriers.
1t will build ten big steel stsa mers. Ihe
keels OF two are already laid down. Ihs
capacity OF each, on the basis of fourteen
feet of water In the canals. will be 7S,OoO
bushels, but when the canals are deepened
to Is feet, as now proposed, each steamer
would carry los, 0Oo. bushels
I 1t IL bs3teved that this will open up
more direct routes to the west, and large
ly increase the business of Portland and
Boston. The only possible danger that
threatens is the abrogation of the bonding
privilege, which would be deadly blow
to Portland ald. Boston, and would serve,
perforce, to build up st. John, N. B.,
which five years ago had no export trade
whatever, excepting lumber, but now
sends out several steamers week with
cattle and grain.
The Montreal Board OF Trade, the Ma
rine Underwriters Association and the
shipping interest have united in asking
the government to make as soon rs pos
sible photographic survey of the st.
Lawrence and the Atlantic seaboard.
This would be directly of great value to
shipping from Boston and Portland, If it
determined the currents along the Nova
Scotia coast, where the Castilian was re-
Gently lost, and those especially which
