$1.45, and low average of ma,
$1.01, and women, 01 ccnti. Gcq.
cral improvement in the condition
and educational standard of tba

the plants report increases in wa-tj
and only one per cent, any de
crease at all. As to power, 331
run with steam, 146 with electrici
ty. 2G with water, 20 with both
steam and clectricitr. and th
others with gasoline and other
power. The agrexrate capital rts

$51,787,491, the estimated vaJun
of the plants, $22,8$S,324, and tho
output, $53,152,531. Orcr 75 per
cenL of these factories do not era

Commissioner Shipman ssvs it U
gratifying to note the variety of
articles manufactured in the State,
but that there can but be an im
pression of the many articles that
are not manufactured but arc im
ported for the use of the wonU.
