Although leading the New England states in the percentage of increased valne of her manufactured products during the - of the 20th century, Connecticut- 1 New England first quarte a tage Increasc for the United s well—is far behind the percen a whole. From 1899 to 1926 the combined value of manufactured products in the 48 states increased 449 Conn cut's in- crease in this respect was 304.69%. No other X ngland state shows an increase of 3007%, and the increase of one, Ver- mont, was only 168.26z. The other New England states show the following pt agc increases: Massachusetts 277.5; Rhode Island 275.7; Mai New Hampshire 204.3. During 1849 the total value of the manufacturers of the state mounted to $47,115,000, or 4.6% of the total for the United !'ahs. ‘This percentage has fallen to 2.8 in 1899 when Con- necticut factories produced goods valued at $315,106,150, against $11,406,926,701 for the United States. The state's per- of the total in 1809 was 2.4; in 1919, 2.25; and in 1523, ter year the United States manufactures amounting 2,730 and Connecticut's $1,274,961,562.
