The total enumerated in 1845 was 132,544 tons. 



Much of this is used for agricultural purposes; some for building; 

 and some in the iron-works. The quantity carried for agricultural 

 purposes may be reckoned thus : —

The rates for the carriage of a ton of limestone and lime per mile 

 are as follows : —

The greatest traffic in limestone 

 following companies :— 



Midland, 



Newcastle and Carlisle, 

 York and North Midland, 

 Wishaw and Coltness, 

 The limestone traffic on the Midland is on the old North Mid- 

 land line. 



No. VIII.— STONK TRAFFIC. 



The number of tons of huilding and paving stone carried in the 

 years ending June 30, 1845, 1846, and 1847, distinguished in tlie 

 returns, is as follows : — 



Arbroath and Forfar, 



Chester and Birkenhead, 



Maryport and Carlisle,

t Half-year, 18,071 tons. { Half-year, 3,465 tons. 



The figures above given by no means represent the gross traffic 

 in building and paving stones for each year. From an examination 

 of the detailed figures, there seems to have been a faUing-oif in the 

 the use of building and limestones in 1847, although the gross 

 quantity carried on railways increased. 



The total quantity of building and paving stones, limestones, 

 and lime carried on railways in 1847 was as follows, according to 

 the enumerated returns : — 



Building stones, 404,000 tons. 



Limestones and lime, 146,000 „ 



550,000 tons. 



The enumerated traffic gives the enormous quantity of 550,000 

 tons of stones carried, but tlie whole quantity carrieil must be 

 nearer 1,000,000 tons. 



The amounts received for the carriage of buOding and paving 

 stones stand thus : —

Chester and Birkenhead,
