CEMENT 

 The cement trade in 191 1 showed a continuance of the conditions 

 v^hich were noted in the review for the preceding year. Prices 

 were on the same low level, in fact averaging somewhat less than in 

 1910, but as the demand remained active most manufacturers were 

 able to maintain operations at about the normal rate and thus to 

 secure the greatest economy in production. The local market for 

 cement has been very large owing to the unusual amount of engineer- 

 ing work in the way of public improvements that have been in 

 progress in the State.
