It is nearly $73,000,000 more than the product of the United States in 188(5. ( All the metals increased in quan tity , except gold nnd the minor metal , nickeland nearly all increased in prico. The significance of this is seen in the increase in production of the fuels necessary for reducing those metals and preparing them for use. All of those fuels , including natural gas , show a marked increase. The increased value of building stone is principally duo to a more careful canvass of this industry than has been possible in previous years. It is not probable that the total recorded for 1887 will bo equaled in the present year , 1888. 1IOM2V FOU TillLADIK9. } . Waists will bo worn with elaborate trim mings.
