"The fire burned the city everywhere

rushing back and forth amid the flames

they would drop like dead flies. The
explosion, smoke and fire all came and
went in three minutes, but the city
burned for three hours. Then every

The total value of all the products of
the combinations reported is S1.661,-

the products of the hand trades, or
mechanical and neighborin2 industries,
which amount to $1.2l6,1GJ 100, the
products of the industrial combinations
in 1900 are found equivalent to over 20
per cent Of the total gross products of
the manufacturing industries of the
country as they existed in 1890. The
1S3 corporations reported employed
an average of 300 1872 wage earners. re-
ceiving S194,534.51J in wages. EN-

binations exclude all corporations man

electric light power, it being impossible
to trace all of the latter, and they do
not generally possess the same econom-
ic significance. The returns show that
the iron and steel industry is at the
| head of the list, with gross product
of sos, 626.4S2. which is more than
double the value of the product of any
other group. except food and Kindred
