In reply to your recent letter
of inquiry I can say that with the
possible exception of the cotton goods
industry the industrial and business
conditions IN New Hampshire are good.
The war has brought orders Ia some
of our woollen mills and shoe fac
tories. and our two largest machine
shops are making shells. I should
expect an increase Of such orders from
a continuance of the war. but entirely
apart from the war the general out

First: What are industrial and busi-
ness conditions in your State? An
swer: Excellent. Most Of our indus
tries ana running full time. I hear Of

being established in our industrial CEN
tres. some for tho manufacture Of
dyes and others for the manufacture
of gunpowder
Second: To what extent and in
what direction has the war affected
these conditions? Answer: At the out
break of the war business conditions
were unfavorably affected. but there
seems to have been n quick and de-
cided recovery. Wages are good and
the opportunities Of employment i'm

Third: What effect may he expected

j think it would he fair to say that
Michigan occupies a unique place in
the industrial and business world of
the United states at the present time
While east of us conditions are good
only in the territories where muniti ions

west of us the whole country is mark

the language OF the streets ! would
say that the reason FOR this great pros

are a wonderfully well balanced State.
Michigan's industrial activities cover
a broad field and are not only numer-
Gus hut among the largest in the
world. Grand Rapids is the greatest

We have the largest drug manufac-
tory in the world in the Parke- Dav Wis
Company OF Detroit. More gasolene
iengines are made in Michigan than in
any other five States in the Union.
We produce "a per cent. OF all the
automobiles in the United States to-
day. and when I say that Michigan's
prosperity is due to the fact that
everybody is bringing home the
bacon" It is illustrated by the fact
that last year i02.00O,OOO was sent
into this state to pay the manufac-
turers of automobiles alone for the
products OF their shops and factories.

Connecticut.
BY WILLIAM =. HYDE,

Com missioner of Labor statistics.
From the reports made by the va
rious inspectors who go throughout
the State in the course of their duties.
this general statement as to condi-
tions In Connecticut can be made: At
the present time industrial and busi-
ness conditions are excellent. Con-
necticut has considerable number
Of industries which make supplies
used in war. These concerns have had
war orders, directly or indirectly, and
their business is booming; If the war
should continue that condition would
undoubtedly remain the same in those
lines Of industry. In other lines not
directly affected by the war during the
year business has been fair, but at
the present time seems to be on the
gain.

idly giving way to feverish activity.
This almost unanimous view of the
conditions In the country is expressed
in the replies received to a letter of
.Aquiry recently sent to the Gov.
ernors propounding the following
queries:
What are the industrial and busi-
ness conditions in your State?
ITO what extent and I'm what direc.
tion has the war affected these con.
ditions?
What effect may be expected IL
the war should continue another year?
Apart from what may be expected
as a result of the war, what is the
general outlook in your Common
wealth?
What is the approximate number
Of unemployed in your State?"
Many Of the Governors answered the
queries in person and those who did
not had a reply drafted by some officer
Of the State in touch with authori-
tative sources ot information.
In the first twenty-one reports re-
ceived from Governors or persons dele
gated to speak for them the unvarying
note of good times Is sounded. New
York and Ohio, though admitting con-
ditions are better. look with some ap-
prehension upon the immediate fu-
ture. Idaho and Montana typical
Western States. report conditions as
the best on record. Georgia finds
things better than for several years,
and Arkansas reports a virtually COM
plete recovery from the depression Of
year ago
1t is agreed in most cases that the
war has benefited business and that
perity for this country. In every
State so far on record the reports
show virtually no more unemploy-
ment than normal. and in several Com
monwealths there Is a job for every
