Rt'portcr (devoted to the interests of the legal profession), started in 1881 by \Vard R. Bliss. its present publisher. Beside these there is one weekly paper published in South Chester. the rVa.N)1 i\'t:WS. by \V. \V. \Vebb. OUR FOREIGN TRADE. Some idea of the importance of Chester as a port of entry can be formed from the folJowing statistics: During the year 1887 the Chester Rolling Mill imported 50,000 tons of iron ore. on which were paid $37.5°0 in duties. For the same period the Tidewater Steel \Vorks imported 40.905 tons of steel blooms. the duties on which were $300.990. The Chester Oil Company paid in duties on tin plate, lead. nails. and lumber in 1887 about $100,000. making a total of $438,490 from these three concerns alone. These importations were landed directly from the vessels on our own wharves, and the duties received by the Deputy Collector of the Port located in this city. The foHowing- tables give the nationality, number. and tonnage of vessels engaged in our foreign and coastwise trade from J aUliary I st to October 3I st. 1888. The cargoes of these vessels were all consigned to Chester firms: ItOR1':IGN TRADE. _... --"'- ,,~..- -~-- , J> ,9- c: 1I I " ~ '.0 c: -5l ., " i 1I c: l: t:./) !
