FINE ARTS IN 1902. 



247 



stock $124,146,100, which new issue was taken 

 by stockholders at par in the previous month. 

 In November the principal lines of railroads vol- 

 untarily advanced wages 10 per cent, in anticipa- 

 tion of demands from their employees for such 

 advance. 



Gross earnings of 74 railroads for twelve 

 months ending Nov. 30 were $623,776,463, against 

 $575,882,954 for the corresponding period in the 

 previous year. 



Manufacturing Industries. The depression 

 in copper, which was a notable feature in the 

 previous year, had more or less effect upon that 

 industry until March, when there was a recov- 

 ery. In that month labor troubles at the Massa- 

 chusetts cotton-mills threatened a lockout, but 

 the mill owners finally yielded to the demands of 

 the operators and advanced wages. The pro- 

 longed strike of anthracite-coal miners caused a 

 serious deficiency in the supply of coke and other 

 fuel and a materially decreased output of pig 

 iron. Steel manufacturing was also affected, and 

 the mills were unable to supply the current de- 

 mands, necessitating large importations of fin- 

 ished products in Europe. At the same time 

 these mills had contracts of such magnitude for 

 future delivei'ies as were expected to keep them 

 fully employed at least until the middle of the 

 ensuing year. One feature was the development 

 of petroleum-oil fields on an extensive scale in 

 Texas, but owing to the cost of transportation 

 this product could not be made available for 

 fuel at the East during the anthracite-coal 

 famine; the consumption of bituminous coal 

 was, however, largely increased. 



While exports of manufactures showed some 

 augmentation during the year the gain was 

 small compared with previous periods, largely 

 owing to the inability of our steel-mills to meet 

 foreign orders because of the greater demand for 

 the home consumption of their products. Ex- 

 ports of manufactured articles for twelve months 

 ending Oct. 31 were $410,260,314, against $397,- 

 836,062 for the .same time in the previous year. 

 There was a large gain in importations of articles 

 in a crude condition which enter into the various 

 processes of domestic industry, these amounting 

 for the twelve months to $341,611,525, against 

 $290,600,786 for the corresponding period in 1901.
