JAPS SUPPLY THE CHINESE. 



The lumber for packing cases, etc., used by the Chinese comes chiefly fro)t,f, Yalu 

 River region, and the trade in this lumber is entirely in Japanese hands. The imPTtion is 

 in the form of squared logs, which are purchased by Chinese carpenters and sawnp into 

 boards by hand. Attempts have been made to introduce sawmills for this zvork, bite price 

 of labor is so low here that it is cheaper to cut boards by hand than by steam. 



MASSACHUSETTS' SHOWING. 



In the State of Massachusetts, under the head of lumber and timber produce, estab- 

 lishments are listed, employing on an average of 8.967. The value of the output ,• $23,- 

 026,000. Lumbering in that State is a very insignificant factor when compared h the 

 manufacture of cotton goods, which employs 108,914 people. The boot and shoiakers 

 employ 83,063. The value of the output of the latter exceeds that of any othene of 

 Manufacture. In Massachusetts the number of independent planing mills was 208, h 391 

 sawmills and 109 packing bo.v factories. There were cut in that State 361,200,00C(7/ of
