THE YEAR IN MAINE.

A review of the years business for
the State of Maine shows on the whole
very satisfactory conditions. The vol
ume of goods moved has been of large
proportions-in certain lines far in ex-
cess of any previous record. Lumber
has been handled at O. profit, and, al
though high prices have interfered to
some extent with local building opera
lions, the outside demand has been suf-
ticlent to encourage extensive opera
tions. The large operators are now
cutting with a care for fnture growth
not shown in years gone by, and there
is still a good deal of standing timber
through the State which will last for
years to come if operations continue to
be handled judiciously. Agricultural
products are in such active demand
that good prices have increased the
value of farm properties in nearly all
sections, particularly so in the large
potato producing county of Aroostook,
where the average output is gradually
but steadily increasing.
Textile mills have had, almost with
out exception, one of the most prosper
Gus years for a long time, and heavy
payrolls have resulted in the usual
liberal cash distribution, which has
been of marked benefit to the small
traders in various towns. Shoe factories
have been busy, and as result real es-
tate of this class is in better demand.
Notwithstanding the high price of labor
and materials, there is some disposition
to extend and develop street railroad
lines and a good many water powers
have been improved; the demand has
been sufficient to not only maintain
the price OF water powers In nearly all
sections of the State, but in many in
stances the value has been materially
increased, and real estate is held at firm
prices.
There has been some depression in
shipping and some of the yards have
launched few vessels, but not many
orders are on hand for future construc-
ton. The sardine and herring opera
lions in eastern waters for the season
just closed, which in some years have
amounted to as much as 100000, fell
off very materially, largely on the ac-
count of the scarcity of fish, but the
goods put up have been of an improved
quality. The pure food regulations, it
is claimed, will be of material benefit
to the Maine sweet corn packers. The
shortage of Holsters has reduced that
line of canning, but something is still
being done at a few factories, while a
good many clans are being put up by
both the large packers and small indie,
pendent Gamers.
The condition of the ice market indi-
Gates that more extensive winter opera
lions are probable than for some years
past. Money has been in active de-
mand here in common with all other
sections of the country, and the banks
and trust companies have been uni
formly prosperous, the majority show
ing an increase in their deposits and in
their earnings.-Dun's Review.
