BUSINESS NOTES.

The preliminary reports OF the gen.
eral result OF the thirteenth census
show big gains for Michigan In manu-
features. The period covered by the
report is from 1904 to, 1909. The num-
Der OF manufacturing establishments
In Michigan increased from 7,446 TO
s,15s in that time and capital employ
ed increased from $685.. 1894, 900 TO $685.
947, 900. Salaries and wages paid IN
1909 reached total of S153, 1913 900. as
compared with SOS. 900 in 1904. The
total value of the products manufac-
tured in the state was $685.. 900. an
increase of 60 per cent over the S429.-
l2O, 900 reported In 1904. The number
OF salaried officials and clerks employ
ed in Michigan industries increased
from 1925 to 30.607, and the number
OF wage-earners increased from 49,
229 to 231 ,504.
T. f. Gretz has bought from Srere
Bros. the property on the southeast
St and win erect a two-story bakery
on the land. The lot has frontage
OF 226 feet on Michigan-ave. The sale
was made at auction by o. Wardeli
& Son and the price paid was $ll,633.
In summing up the business stu
alton in Detroit, and Michigan, a
prominent Griswold-st. banker said:
The crops in the state are generally
above the average for the past ten
years. The beet crop. which is rap
idly increasing in Michigan, prom
ises the largest returns OF any year
in the history OF the industry. and
the fruit crop, especially peaches and
apples, Is far above the average.
Conditions, generally speaking, in
Michigan are fair and in Detroit fav-
orable. The manufacturing interests
of the city will turn out a product
this year In excess Of any previous
year This has meant continuous
employment of labor OF all classes,
a condition which has prevailed prac-
tically without interruption since
January, 1908. The deposits OF tho
banks In Detroit have increased $45,-
00O, 900 in the past three years and
SIS 900 900 OF this increase Is In saw
iings deposits, which again reflects the
prosperous position Of the working
man"
