Total Merchandise Tonnage This
Year May EquafBanner
Year of 1907

washington. oct 2a-Tlafnc in the
great lakes is maintaining it's high
average according to the figures ti
the volume of domestic trade from
lake ports during last month. The bu-
reau of statistics of the department
of commerce and labor announced to-
day that the traffic amounted to II,
27,s65 net tons compared with 9,45S. :
6e5 tons in September last year, and
11,137,927 net tons during the same
in the year preceding. There
is good prospect that the close Of
the season of navigation on the lakes
will see total merchandise tonnage
equal to that shipped during the ban
ner year of 1907. During September,
10.011 vessels cleared at various ports.
These vessels had a combined tonnage
of 15,057,4S9 net tons.
