New York State Barge Canal.
There has been a steady gain in traffic on the New York State
Barge Canal since its completion. The total movement on the New
York State Canals amounted to 2,006,000 tons in 1923, 2,032,000
tons in 1924, and 2,344,000 tons in 1925. Of this last total 83 per
cent was carried on the Erie Canal between the Great Lakes and
the sea. The largest single item carried on the system is wheat;
the other principal commodities are petroleum, sand, stone and
gravel, barley, and sulphur. Much more wheat was carried in 1925
than in 1924. Barley, however, showed the greatest increase, 253,755
tons in 1925 as compared with 63,628 tons in 1924. There was also
a large increase in the tonnage of sulphur.
