The increase in many of these articles is very marked, and has given employment to a large amount of tonnage at very favorable rates and remunerative prices. The following is a table of the monthly exports and prices :

In order to show the exports to Great Britain from this port, for six months weekly, we append the following table :

EXPORTS OF CERTAIN ARTICLES FROM NEW YORK TO GREAT BRITAIN, WEEKLY, WITH THE TOTAL EXPORTS FROM THE PORT, FOR THE SAME TIME.

The English demand absorbed nearly all these quantities. The following is a comparative table of the quantities shipped to Great Britain, for the year ending June 30:

The quantities of corn and meal sent to Ireland direct, have become important, and that, doubtless, will be an increasing trade. The following is a table of the receipts and exports of flour, at four leading ports, for the year ending Dec. 31 :—

The exports from New Orleans are to foreign ports other than Cuba. The large increase in exports has not sufficed, however, to sustain prices under the enhanced receipts, the free outlet having been restrained by lack of freights.

The inmost avenues of communication have felt the influence of the external demand. The following is a table of the receipts of produce at Cleveland, on the Ohio canal, for a series of years:

Cheese

A curious item here, is the fact, that the receipts of cheese at Cleveland have ceased, and it is now shipped inland. It is observable, that the export of merchan

dise, by canal, has declined annually since 1843! The revenue on the Ohio canals is as follows:

The increase on the Wabash, is mostly from Indiana business. The shipments from Michigan, for several years, have been as follows:

The crop of Michigan is estimated this year at 9,000,000 bushels; of which, near 2,500,000 are accumulating in store for spring navigation. Of these large lake productions, considerable quantities seek the New York canals by way of Oswego, whence the clearance by canal is as follows:

A large portion of this increase of tonnage, it will be seen, is in vegetable food, of that description which has formed so large a proportion of the increased shipments to England. The following is a table of the value of certain articles of produce, delivered on the New York canals, and of the same articles shipped to Great Britain, and the total shipments from the United States :
