WHEAT FIELD I'm SHIPS HOLD.
Freak of Noture In n british Tramp
Steamer Presents strange
Sight.

A field of grain in steamships hold
was one of the curious sights recently
seen in the port of Philadelphia. Inc
vessel was the British tramp Elwlck.
MANY persons were attracted to the
ship to view the interesting exhibit,
says a report from that city.
The Elwick, under command OF capt.
Clark, has been running between Phil
adelphia and English ports, carrying
wheat and corn in bulk. She returned
from the other side on her last voyage
partially ballasted with dirt. 1t was
owing to the latter that the growth oil
grain was possible.
The interesting discovery was made
bya foremost hand who had occasion
to go into the hold. He reported tt
the captain that the Elwick was grow
ing a wheat crop. Capt. Clark made
an investigation and found that suci
was indeed the case.
Many grains of wheat remaine'
secreted in hooks and corners in tn
hold after the ship had been dis
charged on the other side, and tn
pitching of the vessel on her trip to IN
United States caused them total upol
the dirt. The grain soon sprouted y

CANAL TRAFFIC IMPROVING.
GRATIFYING INCREASE IN BUSINESS
PROSPERITY OF BOATMEN.

Albany. June (speciaD-Traffic on the canals OF
the State is showing most gratifying increase
Although the canals were not opened until May
not week has passed but that more tons of freight
have been shipped every week than in the corre-
sponding week in 1899 and 1900.
Colonel John y. Partridge. the superintendent of
Public Works is naturally much gratifed. In his
last annual report the legislature he called at
tention to the decrease of the canal shipments
compared with of the previous year, and said
that one reason of this shrinkage In canal business
was that there a lack of canal boats. No
capital would invested in canal traffic equipment.
he said until II had been determined whether the
States waterways were be improved Since
Colonel Partridge wrote his report Governor Odell
has recommended the completion of the special
plan of improving the canals adopted in 1895. and
that plan has been abandoned by the legislature
with the Governors consent, view of the opposi
ton of many canal men to its being carried out.
Despite the fact, however that nothing further
has been done toward the improvement of the
canals. these waterways of the State seem to he
attracting back business which had deserted them.
Perhaps increase in railroad rates certain
articles have induced this revival of canal business
The railroads have had so much freight to carry
to carry other products than those especially fitted
for canal transportation. The reports of Superin-
tendent Partridge for instance show increase in
the quantity of anthracite coal carried by canals
this year, compared with 1900 Here is the record
of the number of tons of coal carried in the weeks
ending May H. May %, and May 81 1900 and 1901
New-York tribune., 1901-06-09

Reports which here from the line OF the
Champlain Canal state that more canal boats are
under construction there than in several years
past Canal boatmen say they think the increased
business indicates the prosperity of the country in
which those engaged in the canal transportation
business share. They also think that an
other reason for their prosperity is the excellent
condition Of the canals for navigation. good
amount of the work Of canal improvement in 1896
end 1897 told, and the channel of the canals is
much improved Consequently canal boats
not impeded they We're, and canal boat owners
can make quicker trips While the failure
deepen the Erie Canal to n uniform depth of nine
feet, and the Champlan Canal to feet. does
undoubtedly check the building OF canal boats,
nevertheless the general condition of the canals be-
ing better navigation is easier. and therefore the
canal commerce has been benefited by the $9GOOO00
expended in 1856 96-'S7.
If the canal business increases as il has done in
the last three weeks OF the present season the
number OF tons of freight carried the canals
Will largely exceed that of any recent year.
Superint endent Partridge says that one highly
encouraging feature OF the canal business this year
is the increased amount of wes1bound freight. In
recent years the canal boats have travelled from
Buffalo to New-York with large cargoes. but fire.
quently were unable TO procure cargoes in New
York for transportation westward, and thus were
compelled to go back to Buffalo empty. Last
week Superintendent Partridge says that in the
course of an inspection trip the Erie Canal he
saw Only three boats bound that were not
loaded The westbo1nd freights consist of general
merchandise.
