 for shipment. 



The red oak in the table was manufactured into picture and mirror 

 frames, usually of a larger size than those made of pine. 



Ash was manufactured into dowels for bending in reedwork. It 

 was also made into brackets, picture frames, and woodenware. 



Beech and black gum were manufactured into mine rollers, dog- 

 wood into mauls and spindles, and white birch into dowels, and mirror 

 and picture frames. 



Maryland met the demand for two of the woods in Table 15, locust 

 and dogwood, and five others in part, loblolly pine, white oak, chestnut, 

 red oak, and black gum. Nine others grow in the State, but the de- 

 mand for them was met by importations. Ninety-one per cent of all 

 the wood used came from the outside. 



AMOUNTS BY COUNTIES. 



Table 16, which follows, is a partial recapitulation intended to show 

 the quantity and cost of wood manufactured in those counties of the 

 State where the amount exceeded 500,000 feet. Fifteen counties are 

 in the list, and eight are omitted because they fell below the 500,000 

 mark. It is seen that Baltimore City and County exceed in quantity 

 and cost of material all the other counties combined.
