port near Hudson which is expected during the current season, 

 a further increase should be registered for this year. This plant 

 will be operated by the New York-New England Cement & Lime 

 Co., under control of Pennsylvania interests. The other pro- 

 jects in the Hudson river region, mentioned in the review of 

 last year, have not been so far advanced as to make them a 

 probable factor in the industry during 1910. 



The output of natural cement showed a continuance of the 

 decline which has been underway since the beginning of the 

 present decade. The total was 549,364 barrels valued at 

 $361,605, against 623,588 barrels valued at $441,136 in 1908. 

 Three companies in the Rosendale district contributed 487,864 

 barrels to the total ; Onondaga and Erie counties contributed 

 the remainder.

 for the manufacture of all materials not requiring a white-burn- 

 ing or a refractory clay.
