two half-year periods show that the total sales of these companies in 1885 amounted to 4,4O2,636,O0O cubic feet as against 4,480,424, ,O0O cubic feet in 1884.
 All of the slight loss during the first six months was confined in the category of domestic sales, these being about four percent be- low the volume in the correspond ing period last year due chiefly to the fact that the weather in the early months of 1885 was by no means as cold as that in 1894 and consequently less gas was burned in household room and space heat ing appliances. Both general house heating, and industrial and com- mercial use of gas increased over last year. however. Use of gas for house heating was 3.5 per cent above 1894, while industrial and commercial sales increased by two per cent.
 Most encouraging in the A. c. A. statistics for the first six months of the year was the fact that there was an increase in the number of gas consumers. Although the total gain in customers was less than one per cent during the twelve months ending June 30, there was neverthe- less an increase in all classes of customers, including domestic, house heating, and industrial and commercial users of gas. The great est gain came in the number of customers employing gas for gen. eral house heating, the number of homse equipped with gas-fired fur naces being 29 per cent greater on June 30, 1885, than on June 30, 1894.
 Sales of domestic gas burning appliances have been maintained at a substantial level during the early months of the current year, so gas company executives feel that there is every reason to antic- ipate large growth in the volume of domestic gas utilization not far hence. Domestic sales com prise considerably more than half of the total sales, although industrial and commercial sales have grown rapidly in volume in the past few years because of the many new and improved uses for gas in man. ufacturing processes, made possi- ble by research activities financed by the member companies of the A.
