ASPHALT INDUSTRY.

AN IMMENSE BUSINESS rs TRANSACTED AN
NUALLY THROUGH THE LOCAL OFFICES
Unusual efforts have been made by New
York firms in the last few years TO meet the
growing demand for asphalt. The general use OF
asphalt is by no means confined TO paving and
street purposes, but II also enters largely into
the construction Of modern buildings. There are
five firms in this city who make a speciality Of
asphalt for roofing and floors. and they say tina,
the demand for the material is a large and
steady one Several Of the firms maintain their
own works where the crude material is
verified into the proper condition FOR use. The
largest two asphalt companies in New-York
have factories respectively in the West india
Islands and California. and the business IL an
extremely extensive one. The asphalt is brought
