Of the trade of Milwaukee in manufactured products, the 
total of which is not yet very large, we have no space in this 
Report to make an exhibit; nor, indeed, of her receipts and 
shipments of general .eastern and foreign merchandise—ex¬ 
cept that they ordinarily include, for the most part, coffee, su¬ 
gar, molasses, tea, salt, oil, fish, apples, coal, iron, nails, stoves, 
and hardware, and that they amount, exclusive of coarse 
freight, to nearly 100,000 tons per annum. 
The Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce reports the to¬ 
tal number of arrivals of steamers, propellers and sailing ves¬ 
sels entered at the Milwaukee Custom House, during the year 
1867, as being 4,896, with an aggregate tonnage of 1,713,043 
tons. Number of departures 4,843, with a tonnage of 1,699,- 
825. 
The trade with Western and Peninsular Michigan, has been 
materially augmented by the late establishment of a daily line 
of steamers between Milwaukee and Manistee, and an increase 
of facilities for commercial intercourse with points on Lake 
Superior.
