TRADE ~ UNDERWEAR.

Domestic and imported underwear finds In
NewYork the principal distributing point. This
city is. In fact. great emporium for this article
of wear Into this market come hundreds OF
buyers from all the important cities of the
United States. IL is safe to say that hundreds of
millions of dollars invested in the manu-
featuring plants. and the volume Of business
each year amounts to $40. O00.OOO and upward.
one-thrd Of which is paid out in wages. The
most important mills for the making Of under
wear situated in the Mohawk Valley. New
York and Brooklyn have a given number but
so far az manufacture is concerned not
prominent except in regard to the selling and
distributing. Therefore 1t may be said that the
industry is State affair. rather than local
ONE. giving employment to at least twenty-five
thousand hands. This does not include the large
number engaged in handling the mportatons.
AS a ruIe. silk and woollen underwear are i'm
ported while the cotton and mixed articles are
made in this country Some of the cotton grades
are exported to South America and Africa. In
fact, this department of the business has now an
added interest in view of the results Of the late
war and the policy of business expansion which
appears to have taken hold Of the entire coun-
try A small quantity OF the domestic product
has been sold each year in Canada and Mexico
AS for silk underwear while there have been
large quantities imported it will be found that
some Of the silk houses located in Paterson
NJ j. are able to turn out first-rate article. or
at least the materials for 1t.
Among the numerous features which are con-
stantly sprngng up in the trade Is that of
hyGenic underwear. This is said to have had it's
origin In Europe. Since the original make of
this kind of goods placed the market
there have been many others who have gone
into this specially. and the sales have been on
quite large scale. Germany several years ago
undertook the manufacture OF heavy balbrggan.
which met with great favor in the American
market. The American, manufacturer started
an active competition. and in this field has now
gained a large share OF the trade. Business all
through the West this year has been unusually
good. and this has resulted in big buying orders
for underwear

CLOTHING MANUFACTURE.

Such has been the growth and development OF
the clothing manufacturing interests Of the
country and more particularly Of this city. that
1t is small wonder that Americans have the
reputation for being the best dressed people on
the face OF the globe. NewYork Is the centre OF
the industry. The product Of this city is sold
In every State In the Union. This applies to all
grades. the best as well as the cheapest The
leading manufacturers OF other cities by
make New-York the selling and distributing
point, and this adds to the immense volume Of
trade annually transacted. There has never
been time when clothing was, as cheap as it
Is at the present time or late years the price
has been steadily declining. until point has
been reached where careful ard clever manage
ment is essential TO rofit-making. There have
been several causes which have combined to
bring about this condition OF affairs. One OF
them is the cheapness and excellent quality Of
the cloths which are being turned out by the
woollen mills of the country. The domestic
cloth has been able to give the imported article
the stiffest kind of competition. and in certain
fields has completely driven the foreigner out
OF the market. Next there has been a system
atiZing OF manufacturing process. Machines
have been introduced which do the work for
merly accomplished by manual labor.
There Is a certain section OF Broadway just
above the drygoods district which is lined on
both sides with the offices OF the leading manu-
facturers of clothing in the city The annual
sales foot up into the millions, and employment
is given to tens Of thousands of persons within
the limit of the municipality. 1t has been esti-
mated that the value Of the output Of clothing
for the United States for the present year will
be close to $3.50 900 900. The annual clothing
trade in this city amounts to $50 600 OO0 on an
invested capital of over 2O,000000. The num-
Der Of people finding employment in the fac
tories OF New-York City Is about 10000. The
trade in the last year or SO has passed through
many yicissitudes. and there have been many
failures. but the feeling at the present time Is
buOyant and the evidence of returning prosper
ity is seen on every hand

a substantial character have also been made In
the Edison Electric Companys plant, one OF the
largest in the country. The company supplies
the lighting for the city and power for the street
railways. and for all Of the various works in
which electricity Is used. The city has TWO

The three National banks and the two savings
banks are In prosperous and fourishing con-
diton. One of the former has recently moved
into a handsome new building. The city also
has two safe deposit and trust companies. Two
telephone companies operate lines in Paterson,
and In the last year have made considerable ex-
tensions to their service.
The high credit of the city is evidenced by the
fact that the last sale Of bonds was made on
344 interest basis. During the last year asphalt
streets have been laid for several miles. and

paved with vitrified brick Similar improve

FELTS.

The members Of the felt goods trades when
asked to furnish some information regarding
the industry were reticent about doing so.
arguing that any publicity given to the bust
ness would have the effect Of inducing others
to go into it.
There is competition enough already" they
SAID
The process Of telling Is one by means OF
which the fbres of wool or other material are
nterlaced, without weaving as to make a
texture This result was originally obtained by
an operation called "bowing.' In this process
the proper quantity Of the material being
mixed according to the variety OF felt to be
produced. 1t is violently asitated. tossed in the
air and caused TO mix thoroughly. This pro-
duces a thin layer. which Is then covered with
a CLOTH and the tibres are nterlaced in every
conceivable direction. Another layer is then
added by the same process, and so on until
a felt Of the required thickness Is produced.
The use of felt in hat manufacture is. Of course.
an industry Of extreme Importance here where
the factories are called upon to furnish annu-
ally the greater supply Of headgear for the en-
tire country. The introduction OF ingenious ma
chnery in the manufacture OF felt hats has
smplied and cheapened the process. and has
helped to develop the industry to enormous
proportions. In lsiG patent was taken out
for an improvement a machine for telling. by
which the process was applied directly to the
making OF hat bodies the term applied to the
rough bodies Of hats
a perforated metallic form. shaped like
cone is made T. revolve. and by means of a
current of air forced through it gathers and
fets the fbres and wool. While the Of felt
in hats Is important one. its usefulness Is
by no means confined thereto. Felt cloth is
used extensively dress goods material. and
il is an important feature in the makeup OF
billiard tables ard other articles OF furniture.
