Hudson river region. The counties along the Hudson river 

 are the largest producers of building brick in the State. Owing 

 to the extensive market afforded by New York city and the low 

 costs of transport by river, the industry in this section is excep-

 included in this region are Rensselaer, Albany, Columbia, Greene, 

 Ulster, Dutchess, Orange, Rockland and Westchester. With the 

 exception of Albany and. Rensselaer, which probably consume 

 the greater part of the local product, their output is marketed 

 almost entirely in New York city. 



During 1904 the number of brick made was 1,009,838,000, 

 valued at $5,846,097. This total represents about 78% of the 

 whole product of the State. There were no companies reporting 

 as active, of which Rockland county was represented by the 

 largest number, 34, while Ulster was second on the list, with 21, 

 and Dutchess third, with 17. The average number of brick made
