The aggregate capital employed is $780,
ea: there are sixty-five employees at an
average OF 50 per day, aggregating $7l, lis
per annunf. Should there be added to the
above the value of minor matters. as the
sausage output, etc, the aggregate amount
would be somewhat increased. The figures
given are only those which can be accur-
ately arrived at.
Exclusive of the employees of the whole
sale butchers there art employed in the nu-
merous retail markets cutters and clerks,
delivery men. etc, so that the annual paw
roll in the meat bnsine IS alone in Seattle is
doubtless considerably above $3.50, 900, while
the aggregate amount of money that an
nually changes hands In the city in this
one industry is above - 900. GEO.
Roofers
In tinware and roofing. which includes
also ornamental iron work, as cornice
making, etc, manufactured here. the BUSH
ness of 1859 has been good. with promise OF
very much more active one the coming
year.
Owing to inability OF local firms to
supply the demand there has been larger
amount of manufactured goods imported
from outside factories Of the character OF
iron cornices, ETC., than, With the increased
facilities for getting out work in seattle,
will be the case the coming season.

firms and considerable capital.
Among the heavier firms In the business
is the T. c. Miles Company, which reports
an inability during the year 10 keep its
STOCK on hand, in material for manufac-
ture and goods for sale, within SIS 900 OF
the stock it wants, for the reason that the
sales are so rapid and heavy that the goods
cannot be kept on hand. a matter that can
hardly be considered calamitous BY the
gentlemen interested.
No account is, of course, taken in this
connection of the corrugated iron and other
material for building which Is practically
only put in place here. The figures are
limited 10 roofs made and cornices, etc.
shaped and put together here.
In this, as in all other trades, and more
particularly those connected with building,
the rush of the year has made some con-
fusion in the matter OF getting at exact fg-
ures. and despite the thorough canvass
made. il is unavoidable that some of the
smaller and more recently inauguFated
concerns should have escaped. The figures
given are, however, substantially correct,
and practically cover the field Of actual
manufacture:
Capital - 600
ARTIFICIAL stone and Cement.
The manufacture OF artificial stone, or
more properly, cement. for paving, sewer
pipes. ehimneys, etc. is but just getting on
is feet in this city. There are several fac
tories which have been in operation dur
ing the past season, and more that have
bat just started. or will start during the
early part Of the year We are just entering
upon. A. u. McEachern is among che
older makers, and put out the past season
$4,000 worth Of goods.
The demand the ensuing year will be
very much greater than heretofore for this
kind OF material, ard the pew a well as
