products in Pennsylvania, but in order that the remarkable number of dif- 

 ferent kinds of wood, — many of which have not been reported in any other 

 state report, — may be presented, they have been listed in the table without 

 accompanying statistics. Most of them are high priced and a majority are 

 foreign woods. As many as were readily available will be found included in 

 the preceding illustration. A large per cent, of all the sugar maple and soft 

 maple shown in the table went for dowels or shanks of umbrellas and para- 

 sols, while the entire amount of beech answered for whip stocks and 

 handles. Reed cut in large quantities from rattan shipped from the Orient 

 v/as also used for whips but it was reported in pounds and could not be 

 reduced to feet to be included in the table.
