  & 
  Includes 
  in 
  1906 
  the 
  following: 
  Allegany, 
  Cattaraugus, 
  Fulton, 
  Herkimer, 
  Livingston, 
  

   Montgomery, 
  St

  Tompkins 
  and

  In 
  1907 
  the 
  fol- 
  

   lowing 
  counties 
  are 
  included: 
  Allegany, 
  Cattaraugus, 
  Fulton, 
  Herkimer, 
  Livingston, 
  Mont- 
  

   gomery, 
  Schenectady 
  and

  Hudson 
  river 
  region. 
  The 
  counties 
  situated 
  along 
  the 
  navi- 
  

   gable 
  stretch 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river 
  constitute 
  an 
  exceptional 
  

   region 
  as 
  regards 
  the 
  clay-working 
  industry 
  and 
  deserve 
  special' 
  

   consideration. 
  No 
  other 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  State, 
  or 
  indeed 
  of 
  the 
  

   aountry, 
  supports 
  so 
  extensive 
  a 
  development 
  of 
  brick 
  manufac- 
  

   ture. 
  The 
  district 
  supplies 
  practically 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  common 
  grade 
  

   of 
  brick 
  consumed 
  in 
  the 
  building 
  operations 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  and 
  

   vicinity 
  in 
  which 
  market 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  decisive 
  advantage 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  

   facilities 
  for 
  transport 
  by 
  water. 
  The 
  yards 
  for 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  

   are 
  placed 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  river 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  brick 
  can 
  be 
  shipped 
  to 
  

   destination 
  at 
  a 
  minimum 
  of 
  expense. 
  In 
  the 
  nine 
  counties 
  in- 
  

   cluded 
  in 
  the 
  region 
  there 
  are 
  more 
  than 
  125 
  yards 
  with 
  a 
  com- 
  

   bined 
  capacity 
  of 
  about 
  one 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  billions 
  a 
  year. 
  

  

  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  depressed 
  state 
  of 
  the 
  trade 
  during 
  1907, 
  there 
  

   was 
  a 
  notable 
  reduction 
  in 
  the 
  output 
  of 
  the 
  region 
  as 
  compared 
  

   with 
  that 
  for 
  the 
  two 
  preceding 
  years 
  when 
  conditions 
  were 
  

   specially 
  prosperous. 
  The 
  production 
  of 
  common 
  brick 
  reported 
  

   by 
  the 
  122 
  plants 
  that 
  were 
  active 
  aggregated 
  1,051,907,000 
  

   valued 
  at 
  $5,471,713. 
  In 
  1906 
  the 
  production, 
  the 
  largest 
  on 
  

   record, 
  amounted 
  to 
  1,230,692,000 
  valued 
  at 
  $7,35
