Per Cent Greater Than Any
Similar Period.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Commercial
movements on the Great Lakes during June
last, and during the six months ending
with June, as measured by the volume of

cluding 1907. which was a most favorable
year In the history Of lake commerce

bureau OF statistics the total June ship
ments amounted to 1A603,5l6 gross tons, ex-
ceeding those OF June 1907, by 16 per cent and
those OF June last year by SO per cent. The
