The following extract from the correspondence of the
New York r:1une, will show how valuable is the
trade of the South to the manufacturers of New jersey
If Newark was ever really tinctured with the dough
face eaven, truckled for Southern patronage it
ought not to be considered surprising when looks
into the figures of the late returns These show
how intimate connection with the South has been
and how largely the industry of this great manufacture
ing City has been dependent on it for support Our
population is 10000, and the annual value of
features is 1923 3l3. The leather manufacture in
its various branches amounts to than Sc OOO
and Of clothing to $3,5OO,00O. About $4,000 900 Of
the whole amount is manufactured for the South. Now
with these figures before you, imagine how this crisis
falls upon US. Many of our concerns employing
only quarter of her usual hands, while some have
stopped entirely We have probably experienced
similar stagnation of business. 1t has lasted so long
too-nearly all Winter-and now we are absolutely
shut off from all export to Southern customers ever
if they paid US beforehand.
