The aggregate increase in these ports amounts to
1865 TONS This table is composed of port in New
York; one in Pennsylvania; in Maryland; five in
Massachusetts,; in Connecticut and four in Maine,
and the tonnage owned in the single port of New York
amounts to than third part of all owned in the
ports included in the list. Most of the tonnage owned
here is engaged in the packet reighting business
while large tonnage of Boston and the other ports of
Massachusetts and Maine is engaged in the fisheries
The largest part of the carrying trade ected with
our foreign mportatons is coufned to the tonnage Of
this port.

2l5ls tons, and in Massachusetts 1854 TONS In ls43
there were 49, 29s tons built in New York and 1914 in
Massachusetts showing that in lS44 there so20 tons
more built in New York than in ls43 and while the ton
mage built in Massachusetts in 1874 nett 800 tons less
than in ls40 At this rate how long will be before the
tonnage Of Boston equals that cty1 SO COM

those Of every other port in the country
is the second exporting port in the Union and that its
tonnage larger than that Of any other FIVE ports within
limits. These advantages have secured and it is
beyond the OF any rival city to change posi-
tion. We have heretofore relied almost entirely upon
the natural advantages Of our geographical location but
