ship canals have broken previous records,
the freight tonnage for july exceeding 5000. =
900 tons, or about equal to all the tonnage

OF 5,0s2, 1913 tons Of freight passing the canals
last month, 4,55S,462 passed through the
American locks and 223,836 tons through the

The increase Of traffic for last month over
July, 1901, is S01, 1926 tons. The excess Of
traffic UP to Aug over that of the corre-
spending period last year is $4,000 tons, SO
that if the remainder Of the season shows no
further increase over last year, the total will
equal 80 500, COO tons. But there is no good
reason why larger increase should not re-
suit and, barring strikes, blockades or other
hindrances to navigation, the close of the
