JAPS SUPPLY THE CHINESE. 



The lumber for packing cases, etc., used by the Chinese comes chiefly from the Yalu 

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

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

 boards by hand. Attempts have been made to introduce sawmills for this work, but the price 

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



MASSACHUSETTS' SHOWING. 



In the Slate of Massachusetts, under the head of lumber and timber produce, 708 estab- 

 lishments are listed, employing on an average of 8,967. The value of the output was $23,- 

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

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

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

 manufacture. In Massachusetts the number of independent planing mills was 208, with 391 

 sawmills and 109 packing box factories. There were cut in that State 361,200,000 feet of 

 lumber.
