We have recently had access to the most trustworthy statistica extant on this tudustry, and we find the summing up of the wholo buatcss for 1876, being elaborate and complete. There are twenty-one houses in Chicago that manufactured aboye $100,000 worth of clothing each In 1930, Desiring not to make Snvidious comparisons we will, instead of the names of the houses, imply indicate them by letters of tho alphabet, each letter and cach of the follow- ing ainounts representing the name and amount of ulcthing manufactured by cachof the twenty. one houses, viz. A, $1,800,000; B, $1,300,000; C, $1,609,000; D, $1,100,000; E, $1,000,000; F, $1,000,000; G, €1,000,0001 H, bene 0003 I, B00," 000; J, $350,000; KK, $350,000; $300,000; M, 7F.000: Ny £300,000; 0, 822,000; 1, £225,000; Q, $200,000; 1, 8200,000; 8. $125,000; T, €100,- 3 Ly $100,000; V, $100,000, a ‘The agwrevate’ value of the clothing mann- factured’in Chleago in sry bythe above tiventy- une houses was $13,000,000, They einvloyed 10,500 operatives, of wlich the greater part were nen, the rest being women and girls. The usual estimate In factories of other sorte is that cach male operative represents from four te five persons supported by his labor, but in tls case, reducing the average to something Jess thin three to each mule, wa should have a total population of say 80,000 persons sunpurted in Chicago by the manufacture of clothing alone. Aside from the aterest ta the mere statement of the clothing munifacture here, {s the more {mportant fact—for the purposes of this article—that their immense —mau- ufavture has been steadily increasing, notwithstanding the hard ‘times. Ten sears ago the manufavture of clothing in Chicago was entirely unknown, and as tate a3 elcht years ago did not amount to above $1,000,- On year. The opinion of those engaged tn ft now [5 that there lias not been a year alice 1863 that the bustness has ot Increased. ‘The lower prices of goods in 1870, a8 compared with pre- vious year, inttst alsu be taken into account as showing even a larger Increase in quantity than isitullcated by the mere’ fnervase In aggregate value, But now we coine to the point of most Interest In this matter, viz.t That the business of 1877 wiil_ show a large fncreaso over 1870. The manufacturers with whom we have con- yersed are gencrally of the opinion that the total value of goods manufactured in Chica- go In 1877 will rench about fyteen million duller, thus showing an fnerease of say.15 per cent on the business of Inst year. ‘TUM DOOT AND SIf0# MANUFACTURE Is a cognate line of industry tu the clothing, and from the house which manufacturcs the largeat amotint of any in Chicago we obtaln the folluw- ing items of {ts extent utd prospects, viz: ‘Thero are nine houses In Chicago which in 1876 manufactured goods to the segregate value of $3,000,000, cinplaylng about 1,000 workmen, and thus supporting a population of any 4,000, In 1874 the total manufacture of boots aud shoos in Chicago dit not much exceet! 81,500,000, Like tho clothing trade, the bust- ness hus grown steadily since then from your tu year, and the most conservative estimates aro Unt the business of 1877 will show an increase of 35 per cent on that of 1870. Talking of shoes makes one think of LEATHER, and In tho manufacture of this great staplo we find an Increase proportionate with the clothing and shoes; Indeed, the present proportions of the Jeather manufacture bave been nearly all attained in the lust five or six years. ‘The total value of Joather manufactured in Chicago thly Year—1877—will ba about $6,000,000, and the total capital used fs about $3,760,000, But within the lost {lve moythe extensive preparations hays been made for increasing tho business, Within that tine flvo new tanneries have been established tu different portions of the city, viz.; One by Lapham, Simbert & Co., on the South Branch, for the tnanufacture of sole leather; one by the trustees of the cstate of J. 8. Sharp, on tho North Branch, for upper leathers ono hy Walker, Oakley & Cu., on the North Branch, for upper leather; one by Urey, Clark & Co.,on the North Branch, for upper Teather; and atill another tannery by a firm of whose name and location we have not been able tu get particulars, The Increase of capital in tho manufacture of leather In Chicago in 187? uver 1870 will be about $1,000,000, and ft fs cati- niuted by those in the bisiness that tho total capital employed tn 1373 will be, say, 63,000,000, and the vutuo of the product about 84,750,000. 000, But the growth of the manufacturing inter- ests of Chicago isnot vontined tu the above- mentioned Ibies—{t le general, as may be seen by the following items in regard to the catab- ltsliuent of OTHER NEW INDUBTHIES and the culargement of old ones: ‘The Joseph II, Brown Iron & Steel Com- pany, of South Chicago, hava recently negotl- ated their bonds In the East to the amount of $250,000, with the proceeds of which they pro- pose tu erect in connection with their present works a large blast furnace to cust about $80,000, besldcs stocking their mills with ore, etc. This Company has atready expended $175,000 iu Dulldiugs and machinery atSouth Chicago, and by the Ist of Junuary, when the blust furnace Is completed, thelr entire tuycatment will aggre- fate tearly €300,000, Mr. Willlam ¥, Kay, formerly a Lake strect merchant of this city, Las, is connection with wome other Eastern capitalists, purchased tor 14,000 the ground aud works of the latu Steam Forde Works at the junctlon of Ninety-fifth street and Culumet liver, at South Chil- uo, fur the purposes of manufacturing oil from cot‘on-teed, cons, and other yogetatte producta, Cottun seed, bowever, will the prinelpal material used, ‘The enormous quan- ity of this product which can be procurcd at tritliug cost from Memphis, Nashvoile, and other places fu the wearer cotton region show.the Peebabultty that this may grow luto one of the portant industries of the country, Cottou- seed oll a very cheap, and has already been used for ten years “du the manufecture of “yal? soup, which can be wade frum cottun-seed ol aud sold at twu cents per pound.
