products in Pennsylvania, but in order that the remarkable number of dif- 

 ferent kinds of wood, many of which have not been reported in any other 

 state report, may be presented, they have been listed in the table without 

 accompanying statistics. Most of them are high priced and a majority are 

 foreign woods. As many as were readily available will be found included in 

 the preceding illustration. A large per cent, of all the sugar maple and soft 

 maple shown in the table went for dowels or shanks of umbrellas and para- 

 sols, while the entire amount of beech answered for whip stocks and 

 handles. Reed cut in large quantities from rattan shipped from the Orient 

 was also used for whips but it was reported in pounds and could not be 

 reduced to feet to be included in the table.
