Tho harbor of Now York 1b unques tionably ono of tho finest natural harbors of tho continent, perhaps of tho world. Till tho beginning of tho nineteenth century it was predicted that Boston, or oven Nowport, would becomo tho great port of Nprtn Amorica. As late as 1812, Philadel phia was tho suporlor of Now York as a financial and commercial cen ter. Contrary to all predictions, however, Now York has left all other cities far bohlnd In Its phenomenal growth Today Its commorco ox- ccedn that of any otlior port In tho world, including its groat rival, Lon don and Hamburg. Its population, according to tho last census; Is also Increasing about two and a halt times as fast an that of London Tho moasuro of the commorco of a port Is tho total volumo of tonnngo of tho vossols ontorlng and clearing. Tho total tonnngo ontorod and elenrod nt London during 1910 was In round numbors 20,230,000 tons; nt Hamburg, 22,300,000 tons; at Now York City, 25,600,000 tons. Tho corresponding figures for Now York City for tho year 1901 woro ap proximately 10,300,000 tons,. There fore tho nvorago lncrcaso In tonnngo during tho past 10 years was 1,000, 000 por annum. Tho valuo of Imports through Now York Harbor during tho yoar 1010 approximated $930,000,600; oxports, ot2.00u,uoo, a total of SI. 588. 000.- 000, giving tho federal government n rovonuo of approximately $200,000, OOO.Charlcs W.
