NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



operated on a reduced scale. The depressed condition of the trade 

 was due to the largely increased output of the previous year in 

 nearly every section of the country. Owing to a temporary 

 decline in the demand, which recently has grown very rapidly, 

 many of the companies entered on the year with large stocks, 

 causing an oversupply that could not be disposed of except at 

 reduced prices. With the removal of this surplus from the market, 

 it is expected that the prices will reach a more normal level when 

 the manufacture can be profitably continued. 



The quantity of natural rock cement reported represents a 

 decline of nearly one third from that of the previous year. The 

 decrease was most noticeable in the Rosendale district, but it 

 was also distributed among the other works. There were 14 

 companies engaged in this branch of the industry.
