Excerpt from Commerce of the Lakes: A Brief Sketch of the Commerce of the Great Northern and Western Lakes for a Series of Years; To Which Is Added, an Account of the Business Done Through Buffalo on the Erie Canal, 1845 and 1846

I now propose to continue this subject by an exhibit of the business of 1846. The great increase this year, in all the more valuable agricultural productions over former years, cannot fail to attract public attention to the impor tance of this growing trade, and shadow forth the value of the great West to the mercantile, manufacturing and commercial interests of the sea-board.
