CANAL TRAFFIC IN NEW YORK.

1t is a noteworthy fact that, in the
present state of canal business, the in
JeresIs which derive the greatest bene-
lit from the canals are not those of the
terminals, but Of the interior cities
In their present condition the canals
are able to offer buG l4.tIe active com
petition with the railroads in through
traffic, but they still compete strongly
in local traffic. Syracuse, for example,
received some 1000 tons OF freight
by the Erie canal last year. 1t saved.
on an average, about so cents a ton on
this freight over railroad rates. Ro-
chester received some zoe, 900 tons, and
saved nearly as much as Syracuse.
Similar benefits may be found in every
important city along the line of the
canals.
The rate on wheat from Buffalo TO
Rochester by rail is 1926 cent sa bu-
shell by canal one cent. During two
months of last fall Syracuse, Rome,
received 100000 bushels of grain by
canal. It cost them for freight Sl6.875
less than it woul have cost them by
ASeAA 80 ~ 0AAAAASo 4C1ICo. moreover
the fact should be kept we'll in mind
that the prevailing rail- rates from
Buffalo to canal cities are much less
than to other points that have not the
advantage of an alternative water
route. The rail route on grain to
Rochester is three cents per 100 pounds
to Clean, about equally distant in
different direction, it is four cents per
100 pounds. From Buffalo to Syracuse
the rail rate on grain is five cents per
100 pounds; to Oil City, eight cents
per 100 pounds.
These are facts which should make
strong impression in the interior of
the state, where of late years there has
been some evidence of a declining in
terest in the canals. They show the
Importance of the canals, not merely to
the interior cities themselves, but TO
the farmers and others depending on
them for markets. The Onondaga
county farmer who buys western grain
to feed his cattle must see at once the
value to him of a shipping route which
enables him to buy it at three cents a
hundred pounds less than he could if
be had to depend entirely on the rail-
roads.-Buffalo Epress.
