While we may glory in the fact that
our total manufactured products have
shown +
1900 of 1913 per cent, and the total
wages paid to employees during the
same period has increased 23.S per
cent. the number of manufacturing es-
adjustments 27.3, and the amount of
capital invested 43.7 per cent, vet we
have cause for regret from the fact
that all of our industries have not
shown an increase. Several of the i'm
portant lines of industry have de-
creased, though the decrease is to be
noted in the value of the products in
but very few lines, and those compare
lively unimportant ones. In but five
lines, among which is the manufacture
of wooden goods. is there noted de-
crease in the amount of capital in
vested, and there has been decrease
in the amount of wages paid in II lines.
In the manufacture of boots and shoes,
for instance, wages have decreased 2.5
per cent; in the manufacture of car
riages and wagons the amount of
wages have decreased 81 per cent.
while in both lines there has been an
increase in the value of the manufac-
tured product amounting in boots and
shoes to 1873 per cent. and in car
riages and wagons to 81 per cent. The
greatest number ofdecreases are shown
in the number of EST ablishments in the
different lines, a fact that may be cred
it ed to the tendency to industrial COM
binations. The number of agricul-
tural implement factories have de-
creased 21.4 per cent, for instance,
while the value of the manufactured
product has increased 24.5 per cent, the
amount of capital invested has in
creased s.5 per cent. and the wages
paid show an increase of "a per cent.
Annual Profits.
To arrive at figures representing
somewhere near the total profits of
our manufacturing industries it is but
