  foregoing 
  tables 
  relating

  products 
  no 
  account 
  has 
  

   been

   are 
  a 
  few 
  producers 
  in

  clay 
  

   themselves, 
  but 
  ship 
  their 
  output 
  to 
  others 
  for 
  manufacture. 
  Some 
  

   of 
  the 
  material, 
  like 
  the 
  Albany 
  slip 
  clay 
  for 
  example, 
  is 
  even 
  

   forwarded 
  to 
  points 
  without
