boxes is used up to the point where the value of labor and the 
value of the stock balance. In the vicinity of New York City 
and other large municipalities of the State the sawdust and 
shavings from a large mill are sometimes sold on a monthly 
contract at a fair price to concerns who sort and regrade and 
who job in sawdust and shavings. Spanish-cedar sawdust is 
used for smoking meat, lining ice boxes, and making explosives. 
No other industry in the State utilizes more closely the raw 
material brought into the factory. New York is one of the 
largest importing States for logs and rough stock of this kind, 
and close utilization for by-products is essential to economical 
administration of the plant engaged in this industry. The 
high cost of the stock compels economy, and the same influences 
will apply more and more to other industries hereafter.
