The DRY GOODs TRADE IN BosTON.--In one of
the series of articles upon the various branches
of trade and manufacture in Massachusetts,,
which gives to Boston pre- eminent CONNER
cial Importance owe any other city in the I'm
ion, the Boston Atlas gives highly interest
ing and detailed description of the dry goods
trade of that city, from which We copy the fol-
lowing extract to which We would invite the
attention of our merchants
"Thc three great branches ofthe dry goods
business are manufactures. importation and
distribution. With regard to the manufacture
of goods, Boston indsputably ranks first a.
mong the cities of the Union, as the great cen
tire of the great manufacturing district of the
United States.
The value of the various kinds of dry goods
manufactured in Massachusetts during the year
ending April LIST, 1858, was as follows PLAIN
cotton goods, Sl2, 1913, 449 ; printed do. 4779.-
sl7; wollen goods, So, .43s; worsted goods.
S654,5G6; carpeting, 1884, hosiery and
yarn. S94, S95; flax, S665 sewing silk, $780,
Al; fringe and tassels, S54.300, Total S27
G39,966. We are informed by meagre table
contained in an abstract of the United States
Census of 1850, that the value of the entire
product per anuum ofthe manufacture of cot
ton goods in Massachusetts was Sl97l2. 46l: of
woolen goods, Sl2,77O.5G5. Total. S32. 4s3,
02G. his does not include all the articles emu
mcrated above; had these been included the
increase would have been considerably larger
and it is very probable that the value of the
cotton, woOllcn and worstcd goods manufac-
tured in the State at the present time. in view
of the enhanced value of raw material and la
Dor. would be found not to vary much from
SI000O,O0O per annum.
Nor are the goods made in Massachusetts the
only goods finding their market in Boston,
Great quantities of wOOllen goods of Vermont
and New Hampshire manufacture are sent from
the factories directly to Boston commission
houses for sale; but of still greater consc-
qucncc is the fact, that it is chiefly the i'm
mcnse and widely dinrused capital of Boston
which has built up and continues to control the
extensive cotton manufacturing establishments
OF Maine and New Hampshire. The large cot
ton mills at Nashua. Manchester Claremont.
Dover, Great Falls. SacO. Biddeford. Lewiston
and many other places in these States are az
much under Boston management as the mills of
Lowell, Lawrence. or East Boston, i'm our own
State. According to the census table of 1850.
from which we have already quoted, in Maine
the annnul manufacture of cotton goods then
amounted in value to S25G9, 1876: wollen
goods, S753.3OO. In New Hampshire cotton
goods. So, S30,6l9 wOnllen goods S2l27745:
total value OF cotton and wOoIlen manufacture
in those two States, Sl4,30S O2O which has
probably increased at the present time to at
least SlI 100000. OF this amount of goods
it would be safe assertion that fourteen or
fifteen millions worth are sold in Boston, The
entire value of home manufactured goods dis
trlbuted from Boston central point cOnnot
therefore pc less than $50. 900 600 annually
Already do the importations of foreign dry
goods into Boston not only exceed those of all
other ports in the Union except New York, but
bid fair in few years to rival the great me-
tropolis itself Five or six of the largest dry
goods importing house in the United States |
are in Boston. all of which directly import
their own goods
The value of various kinds of dry goods en- |
tered in the Boston Custom House amounts TO |
about fifteen millions of dollars. out of a total |
foreign importation Of forty three millions
