year ending November so, 1901, ), was a
record breaking one for the port of New

the port to and from foreign countries
was 433.!62;3327, Of which amount $33,526. 457

These figures take no cosniZance5 Of the
enormous business done IL the coastwise

The receipts for the port forstle year
amounted 70 81, 212 061 20, or 90 more
than the receipts for the preceding year,
and S1106S5.S1 more than the receipts two
years ago. The rapid increase in the i'm
