practically q monopoly on the coastwiss
trade Of the Kingdom. for practically all
manufacture articles come 10 London either
for export or for dist ribution TO other parts
Of the kingdom. Cotton goods are shipped

from London they are shipped by water
to other parts Of England. Ireland and
Scotland. OF to foreign ports.

and Boston. engage a ooastwise and foreign
trade in entire independence Of New York.
Less h twenty-eight per cent. of New
Works tonnage is represented In coastwise
trade, whereas fully fifty per cent. Of Lon
Ions is coastwise. In other words. Of
London's commerce, amounting to 81 $40
100000 annually. only sss5. 600. 600 repre-
sents foreign trade. whereas of New York's
81. 2o0, 900 900 annual m 1854. 0O0. 600
represents foreign trade, or an actual ex-
cess over London OF $i79, 900 900.
To accommodate this enormous trade
New York has four hundred and four miles
OF improved water frontage: that il. four
hundred and four miles of docks. This Ia
half the distance between New York and
Chicago. London has less than two hun
dred miles of similar water frontage;
Liverpool has less than one hundred miles,
while Hamburg. Antwerp. Rotterdam and
Havre rave each less than Liverpool. Prac-
tically all the available water frontage of
these foreign ports has been absorbed by
their docks. while New York has improved
only a little more than one-half of it's avail
able shore line.
