Profitable Industries,

Some figures given by the Boston Adtct-
t1se2 show that. the profits of the IDanutac-
lures of that State were $l02 900, 600 in
1870, or about S68 per capita to the popula-
ton. The wages paid amounted to $llS,-
600, coo, which to those employed in the fac
tories was equivalent to 1921 each Making
deductions for cost of operating, repairs
etc. the return on the capital invested was
about ten per cent, and the manufacturers
added 5000 900 to their wealth The total
value of the articles manufactured was over
$I3J,0OO000. Wages, as we have seen, are
credited with $IlS,000,0O0. This is a splen-
did exhibit, and when we remember that
there are more than 100000 depositors
in savings banks in that State, with
an aggregate deposit of about $4,000 900,
we form an idea of the growing wealth of
Massachusetts. We see, too, how gem
erai is the habit of saving. More than one
third of the population are depositors. The
per capita tax is larger than in Massachu-
setts, but the amount averaged to each is
less In the ten years ending in 1870 the
leather manufacture had increased from
$l2, 100000 to $33, 100000; boots and shoes
from $460Q0,00 to $8S, 000, 600; chairs from
ST, 100000 to $4,000,000; bleaching and dive
ing from $859,000 to $4,000, 900. Many
other branches of manufacture show like
progress. The figures are remarkable
proofs of growth, and are good Indications
of what is and has been doing In other
States They are signs, too, Of the great
and profitable industry which the war did
not crush, and whose stability few years
of orderly. government have assured. At
the present rate of progress the decade we
have now entered will exhibit wonderful
progress over the last.

We notice BY the New Orleans papers
that the steamer r. E. Lee, on her last trip
discharged in that port 1865 bales Of cotton
2697 sacks OF cotton seed, and ninety five
sacks of seed cottono 1t would seem from
the rapidity with which cotton is being sent
forward that there is very little disposition
on the part Of planters or merchants to hold
for higher prices, The Herald Of this city
and other OF our exchanges, advocate the
holding Of cotton for higher prices. The
trouble with ninety nine i'll every hundred
OF our planters in accepting this advice,
We're they 50 disposed, ia that they
could not honestly do So Our
planting system, unfortunately, Is
mere lottery, and if they fail to draw
prize Of full crop, they are in
condition bordering on bankruptcy So
long as planters depend upon gets
ting their meat and corn from the
Northwestern States, pay their merchants
large profits, besides commissions for adj
vancing, and mortgaging everything they
possess to secure these advances, they can
not expect any independence or considerable
profits for their labor. The season must be
an extraordinary good one, with lair prices,
to prevent the entire crop being consumed
for corn, meat and commissions. The advice
to planters to hold their Gotten is entirely
gratuitous, as there is not one planter in
one hundred whose crop belongs to him or
who has any right to hold for better prices.
The crops were produced on advances
made our local merchants, the money
in most cases coming from foreign
factors on time paper, discounted BY
our banks, consequently neither the planter
nor the merchant are in a condition to hold.
As the matter now stands, the risk in hold
ing would certainly be as great as to sell at
present prices, were the parties in con3i-
ton to hold. We certainly advise the
planters to push forward their cotton until
their debts are paid. If they will persist
in pursuing the present hazardous method
Of conducting their planting interests, we
certainly advise them to keep their sacred
obligations with those who enable them to
make their crops. We hope the day is not
far distant when our planters will raise
their own meat and corn. and be independ
ent Of the merchant. When they do this |
We will see real prosperity, but net till

The Brooklyn Bridge.

Work on the East river bridge is pro-
crossing more rapidly since the New York
board of apportionment assured the COM
pany by the issuing of more bonds to pay
for the expenditures of the bridge com
pany. The caisson on the New York side
is now completed, and the superstructUre or
tower has reached the height of twenty
four feet above high water, eight hundred
cubic yards of masonry being laid every
week. There are about fifty men employed
on the structure, and they are under the
personal supervision of, four engineers,
headed by Colonel Roebling. Mr.. Martin,
one of the assistants, has the present con-
troll OF the work. Everything possible is
done by steam. The stone comes from
Maine, and is stored at Red Hook. opposite
Governors Island. It is calculated at
present that a supply of eight hundred
yards of stone is on hand. A scow plies
between the structure and the island every
day From this seow the stone is
lifted by steam to the dock,
where at a certain point two tracks come
together. The stone is placed on two cars
aud conveyed to the structure. to the top
of which it is raised by means of steam
derricks and placed in its proper position.
dhen the spaces are filled up with concrete
composed OF cement, sand and gravel
Even this is mixed by machinery A re-
volvlng shaft is used to perform this Oper-
alton, which is found to be much more
thorough and more economical than it
could possibly be by hand. After this
structure is completed the next step will
probably be the building of anchorages on
the New York and Brooklyn sides. These
will each be 800 feet inland from the tow
ers, the New York one at the conner of
Water and Dover streets, and the Brooklyn
al the corner of James and Mer-
Glen streets. is expected that the tower
will be raised about next Juno.-Neoo YORK.
