| Trade on the Canal-Considerable quanti-
ties of coal and lumber have lately reached this
place by the canal. We have not heard any cs-


innate of the amount, but remarked that regular


succession Of supplies is kept up, in consequence


of the facilities now afforded to persons engaged


in the trade, by the extension OF the canal
While the work extended shorter distance, i


was necessary, whenever freshet occurred in
the river, to hurry down the supplies before the
fall of water, lest they might be deprived of the
chance Of market. Now they can deposite the
coal at the head of canal navigation, and instead
of having our basins crowded TO excess, the adj
vantage is already developed Of greater regularity
of the trade. The consequence will be, that the
public works at Harper's Ferry, and many pri-


vate manufacturing establishments which depend
on this source for their supplies, are more certain
Of having their wants attended to, and at more


reasonable price. The supply of coal and lum-
ber for this place enables ossr merchants to sup
ply at the present time, almost any reasonable


amount Of demand which may be required, and


of an excellent quality. Wease more and more


solicitous for the speedy completion of the work


10 Cumberland, believing that it will be of mate
rial advantage to the business and prosperity Of


our town, as from our central location, this place
must always constitute one Of the most important


and extensive depos from whence to dispense


supplies Of these articles.
