MANUFACTURES IN BALTIMORE COM
Pared WITH OTHER CITIES

We have not unfrequently had occasion TO
remark the manufacturing advantages enjoyed
by Baltimore, in the vast water power which
IS available just back of our city: and which,
used to some extent is not at all what it should
be when we consider, additional, the vast
amount of raw material of iron. copper, tim
Der. marble and other things which might be
operated upon by machinery to swell our
population and our cashreceipts
We have been made anew 10 consider this,
by an estimate lately published by the Score
tary Of the Interior ring the statistics of
values in this line, as between the principal
citiesof the Union and when we find that the
manufactured values of Baltimore with its
enormous natural advantages of water power
and coal, come up only to st. Louis and are
bat little above new city like San Francisco,
whilst Cincinnati doubles it, why we see how
much still remains for US to accomplish before
We can congratulate ourselves on approXima-
ting proper destiny in this regard.
il is true that good many indications are
now present with us, which prove that CAPT
talists from abroad are rapidly approaching
the manifold advantages that appertain to our
city; and that henceforth. there is going to be
unprecedented activity in scores Of branches
Of manufacturing industry, scarcely attended
10 heretofore. Our local columns exhibited
an instance Of this the other day, in the new
establishment for shoes. just put in operation
here. And the evidence increases every day.
1t he thing Will go on, until hardly any
Jet will be wanting. we trust. that can
land the custom Of the immense agrcul-
country south OF this which might make
point from which 10 obtain supplies.
rope all will arouse themselves to an ap-
alton Of this, and seize the fine opportu-
now presented to make Baltimore one of
.,reat manufacturing centres of the country.
