The fach that coarse yarns decreased is regarded as noteworthy by tho on the alert for any improvement in Indian manufacturers. The cotton industry in India dates from 1 when first mill was started.

This is by far the most important hydro-electric undertaking ever pro- fans by ciated of Simla considering an at ata, jected in India and is being carried out at an estimated cost of $8,000,- 000. The first power was switched on in February, 1915, When completed the plant will provide about 60,000 horse-power. . Power will be obtained ultimately from three great reservoirs with an aggregate capacity of 10,- 180,000,000 cubic feet of water. The transformers for this plant are being furnished from Schenectady, e and the hydraulic turbines from Cali- fornia.

The first Cauvery water- power heme was at the time of its inception one of the most important long-distance transmissions in the world, It attracted special interest in the United States as one of the first notable instances of the participation of American engineers in so great project so far away from home.

In relation to the question of futu supplies of steel platé, upon whicl schemes for developing India’s shif building now in contemplation turn, an Indian economist refers to the fact that the Tata Iron and Steel Company made a contract last December the Munitions Board by which they agreed to build a plate mill and to have it in aperation within two years from that date. They also made contract for 10,000 tons of plates per annum for ten years, The company is building a plate mill capable of rolling plates of any desired length and up to 90 inches in width. This mill will contain two sets of three-high rolls, the necessary straightening rolls, and transverse and edging shear It will have a capacity of about 100,000 tons per annum. In addition to the plate mill the company is building a large structural shop and a new steel cast- ing plant. They will be able to make steel castings up to 35 tons in weight and be able to roll beams from three inches to 24 inches. Other structural materials, such as angles and chan- nels, will be made. : of made on with New Industries Born of War. There are many other industries which have extended their operations since the war began and which are preparing to expand still further after the war, but these will serve to show how the possibilities in the situation have wppealed to the mind of India Industrial development has long been regarded by many in India as the iy accompaniment of political 0 considered in the Constitutional Re- It is regarded on Indian ued last July, now likely that a Department of Industry will be established to assume supervision over the efforts now being made to expand industry.

Many jprogressive concerns now seeking experts in :hemistry from Holland, Sweden and Denmark. Those of other countri of course unobtainable now be- ause of theywar. Illustrative of the trend of thought in the country is the wction of the Government of Mysore, one of the most progressive of Indian states, with respect to the Dacara Ex- hibition of this year, recently held. It was decided that this should an All-India Exhibition. The main pur- pose of it is to encourage the arts and industries of the State by displaying the material resources, processes of manufacture, and the products of this state along with other parts of India. Particular stress is laid by the promoters upon the methods of manufacture in vdgue and the possi- bility of improving them. Banking Connection With the U, 8. Because the opportunity for further industrial development in India is so apparent, and that develop- ment will require financial assistance on a large scale, unusual importan is attributed to the organization of the Tata Industrial Bank, for which, as recently announced, the Guaranty Trust Company of New York has be- come the correspondent in this coun- try.
