the following additional information:
More than IS per cent Of the Nations
wholesale business is transacted in 81
counties of which II had sales in eX-
cess of $1,000 100000 annually. Bust
ness enjoyed by these counties is based
to considerable extent on sales con-
Silmmated in other parts of the county,
but these central markets are, however,
the important markets for those selling
TO wholesalers and this high degree Of
concentration is Of the greatest Signifi-
canoe to them.
Employees of the nearly 10000 whole
sale houses number 1.607,7O4. of which
all but 294,770 were men. and receive
annually wages and salaries totaling

from manufacturers to customers
amount to more than $4,000 100000
and transactions between manufacture
ers and retailers comprise another SILL

lishmentS located in New York State,

ness in 1929.
The concentration of establishments
also leads TO concentration Of workers IN
similar fashion and NcT York State,
