   along 
  the 
  Hudson

  a 
  reduced 
  output, 
  the

  being 
  

   proportioned 
  more 
  or 
  less 
  to 
  the 
  magnitude 
  of 
  the 
  industry 
  in 
  

   each 
  county. 
  Ulster 
  county

  that 
  position 
  in 
  1906. 
  The 
  latter 
  

   which 
  contributed 
  232,018,000 
  valued 
  at 
  $1,258,467 
  however, 
  had 
  

   the 
  greater

  plants 
  with 
  31 
  as

  with 
  

   27
