The business of maiiufacturin, crackersJias grown to be a great ii. dustry in the United States, and i the city of Jt'ew York alone proh ably from 3500 to 4000 men, wome. and children are employed in thi work. It is only within the la fifteen years that the business h i. grown to such prominence. Before 1870 the only cracker made were the old style or stamlart sodu, milk, butter, lemon um oyster crackers, ginger snaps, am pilot biscuit. The only kind oi fancy cracker made at that tiun was a dry slightly sweetened biscuit made np in peculiar forms; bu these crackers- bore about as mud, amm-inv IWUVJ v-a leuuv a ich picnic parties of tin present day can regale themsel ye as the old oblong box cars whicl. were run over the first railroad di to the magnificently equippeo drawing room cars now in use on all the principal railroad lines. - There are now in New York Citj sixteen cracker bakeries, twoii three in Brooklyn, and factories oi Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Buffalo. Indianapolis, and every other large city. The total uumber of firms engaged in this business cannot be definitely learned, but a well known manufacturer said thai it would not be an exaggeration to place the number at 400, with a producing capacity ranging from 100 to 600 barrels of crackers per day each. In one of the largest cracker Cic tories in New York City the weekly supply of materials is 500 barrels of -flour, 3,000 pounds of butter, 20,- 000 pounds of lard, 80 barrels of sugar, 25 barrels ot molasses, and 15 barrels of dried currants, together with eggs, honey, corn starch, flav oring extracts, and other needed ingredients. The mixing of the dough, the rolling, the "cutting, and in fact the entire process of making all but a few of the finer grade of crackers, is done by ma chinery. Moreover, there are more crack ers shipped from the United States to England in one year than were imported by this Icountrj in the three years previous to the uate yhn the manufacture was begun Not only this, but we are "ntng on a very heavy trade VISW good arconumtaatlimt All the prtocluej room ob the drat Boer may h throws Into One large spartment by mesa of lbs wldt sliding door eeferal open grata afford heat sod fenlUaUoo.
