TRADE AND e•oMMEReE.
The trade done through the har-
bor of lle►deric•h is of very respect-
able proportions and is increasing
yearly, as the Northwest is opened
up. During the season of naviga-
tion the N. W. T. Company's boatsi
receive a large proportion of their
freights from this port. and with
the completion of the I'. P. R. ex-
tension from t:uelph will be added
a line of that Company's steamers
also, snaking the shipping service
to the upper lake ports and out
Canadian North-west store ade-
quate to the growing demands of
the traffic in this direction than
it has bases for the past few years.
