FIFTY-SOLD GROWTH OF ELEC
TRIOITT IN iJO YEARS.
Unexampled Progress of tho Elec
trical Industry in the United
Stales Indicated in a Census Bui-'
letin, nnd the Industry Is as Yet
Hardly Out of tho Nursing Bottle
Stage.
(Wislilnclon Cuitfttpondcnce Urooklyn
Kngle.
7R9, of which 114 were
time there Were 8,891
The story of the nhctioiTiuimi prowth
jf tho eleetilcnl Industry In tho United
tjtntrs, of ItH jump lit vnlue from'$l,
000,000 to close on lo ?1OO,OOO.00O wltlihv
twenty yofiM, and of tho world'a abso
lute dependences upon ItH nitenclcs for
electric Intelligence, light, licnt, power,
transportation, ptc, Is told In a bul
letin issued by the census bureau. It
forms one of the most Interesting nar
ratives that can be related of the na
tion's giant strides toward wealth and
power.
Just as the period between 1S30 and
3860 was notable for the discovery of
the telegraph, that between 1SG0 and
3S70 for the beginning of dynamo con
struction; that between 1870 and 1SS0
for the application of the science to the
fctock "ticker, burglar alarm and other
electrical conveniences; that between
J8S0 and 1800 for the development of
telephony and electric lighting, the
period between 1890 and 1000 was mark
ed by the unprecedented adoption of
the electric motor for power transmis
sion, factories, etc. Tho report states
that the average annual expenditure
on electricity In the United States for
each Individual of a population not far
from 75,000,000 was $7. Of this amount
about $1.25 per head would represent
the demand for electric apparatus and
supplies, the income of the electric
traction companies would reach not
less .than $3 per-head; while that from
electric lighting would reach about
SI. 50. The returns available would also
Indlrate that not less than 75 cents per
bead would represent the expenditure
on telephone service, and 50 cents per
bead the outlay for telegrams, fire
nUrms and kindred work. These val
ues, which are conservatively put, are
rapidly Increasing. At least one ex
planation of the wonderful rise of the
Vnltod States to their present position
In International affairs and among the
manufacturing nations may be found
In this manifest willingness of its peo
ple to pay as much for electricity as
fur bread.
The Dynamo Did It.
The development of the dynamo to
supplant tho primary battery was re
sponsible for tho sensational advance
In the value of the Industry. Of the
JMOO.OOO.OOO annual product of the elec
trical manufacturing industry, at least
75 per cent, would have been unavail
able to the public In the days, of the
primary battery. In 1SS0 then; were
but 70 establishments for the manufac
ture of electrical apparatus and sup
plies, while In the census year 1000, 580
were reported. The output, of these es
tablishments In JsSO was valued at J2.
tjdO.UOO; by IMiO it had jumped to $19,
000,000. and in 1900 It reached the enor
mous figures of $01,300,000.
The figures here quoted do not rep
resent corporations in the fields of tele
graph, telephony, electric railways,
nlectrlo lighting,, etc., in which the ap
paratus produced is put into operation,
but merely the output of the establish
ments devoted to tho manufacturing of
i-Iectrieal apparatus and supplies.
Xow York leads all the other states
In the item of establishments of this
L-h.iractcr, having 184, Illinois coming
eoond with S2 and Ohio and Pennsyl
vania, close up with 04 and US' respec
tively. On the other hand, in rmi.ss
value or output Pennsylvania heads, the
list with $20,900,000 a cmnuuieil with
S17.60O.00O for New 1'orK. $11,600.1)00 for
Illinois and $S,000,000 for llasacluisetts.
In lflOO the average size of the dyna
mo produced was about 75 hortn power,
the total output for the yeai of dneet
nr continuous cuirtirit-appaiaw.s iL-pre-sentlng
9,182 machines o! 42i,iMl hoi so
power, valued sit $G.L-0.,0(0. The aei
ige size of the nlteriutmiv cuni'ta ma
chine was 254 horse pouoi. mil thai of
the direct current was but 47 hoi.se
power.
Electric Propulsion.
The statistics as to tho produethm of
motors for electric railways are utrlK
ing and interesting, esmciul'y wht-u
viewed from the standpoint at tin- tu
turus of electric railway work gathered
Jiy the Eleventh census, when, for the
111 st time, the industiy made its ap
pearance In the nutloimi records, none
nf tho roads then enumerates having
been in operation prior to JSSti, in isno
the street railway companies of the
t'nlted States In operation numbered
o electric. At that
895 electric cars In
use out of 32,505 of all kinds, nnd 1,-
2S2 miles of track out of S.123. Ily 1SS0
the number of cable cars had declined
rrom 22,408 to 1,198! but In the Mean
time) electric cars had Increased to the
number of 50,658, and the number of
miles of track to 17,969. The stimulus
given the Industry Is further brought
out by tho fact that whereas In 1S90 the
total capital and funded debt for all
roads appears to have reactird $363,
150,000, In 1000 tho total for 87t street
railway systems, chlelly rlectrlc, was
$1,023,819,087 capital stock and $777,802,
571 funded debt, milking a total of
slightly over $1,800,000,000, or just live
times the figures of ton yeuis before.
On this vast capitalization the returns
from tho operation would Indicate a
not earning capacity of from 4 to 5 per
cent,
Economy of Electric Fowor.
Tho "saving Introduced by the adop
tion of rloctrlelty is Indicated sufllelcnt
ly by the annual report of the Metro
politan Street Hallway company of
New York, for the census year ending
June 30, 1900. This system employed
the most expensive method of electrical
operation known, the trolley tunning In
ii slot under the cur. It appears ftom
the Metropolitan figures that the cost
of operating with tho cable per ear mile
was 17.7K cents; with the horse, 18.9S
cents; and with the electric motor 13.10
cents.
The popularity of the small electiic
fans for ofllccs and hnme has In
creased to such an extent that the de
mand In the census year was greater
than tho supply. Tho report states that
the experiments with storage battery
cars have not been entirely successful,
but better results have attended the
construction of portable equipments for
use In such places as mines, etc., where
It is difficult or dangerous to Introduce
wires carrying live currents. Statistics
of arc lamps compiled during the second
quarter of 1899 showed 2,360 stations
owned and operated by private corpor
ations, reporting 280,400 arc lamps, 2,
670,000 direct Incandescent and 5,300,000
alternating Incandescent on their cir
cuits, with 1,100,000 horse power of mot
ive machinery In their generating
plants. This does not Include the muni
cipal plants.
Telephone Developments.
Ton million dollars' worth of electri
cal apparatus Is invested In the tele
phones of the country. Referring to
the Ifls'tory of the telephone In the
United States, the report says:
"Few Industries have undergone a
more violent transition from a ccnti al
lied control of production to unlimited
manufacture of apparatus than tel
ephony, and the period of greatest ac
tivity in this Held since ISM) began with
the census year 1900. Having after tie
lnendously expensive litigation estab
lished the supremacy of Its patents, the
Bell telephone system enjoyed for some
years undisturbed possession of the
field, but the moment these patents
could be assumed to lapse, competition
broke in from every quarter, wltn the
result that the industry lias of late
undergone an extraordinary, develop
ment, doubling its figures from year to
year, and witnessing a very thorough
revolution in methods, apparatus and
rates. Since the census yeur 1S70-S0.
no statistics of telephony have been
compiled other than those embodlPd In
the annual repoits of the American Hell
Telephone company. Twenty years ago
148 companies and private concerns re
ported 54,319 receiving telephones, 3.23S
employes, and 34,305 miles of wire, with
total liabilities of $15,502,135. ' In lilOO
the Cell systems leported about 1,500
exchanges, with 1.0SO.OOO subscribers
connected, using 1,254,203 miles Of wire,
employing ra.uuu persons, ana Handling
2,000.000,000 eonversa tions per year. The
capital for the parent and sub-companies
then stood at not less than $300,000
000. "These figures would In themselves
indicate the stupendous growth of a
distinctively modern industry, but they
are far from revealing the actual con
ditions. Beginning about 1S94-9;;, 'in
dependent' telephone exchanges sprang
up like musluoonis all over the coun
try, but more particularly in the Mid
dle and Northwestern states, and by
1900-1901. they had attained a total of
about 2,750 exchanges with 700,000 sun
soribers and an Investment of $150,000,
000, apparatus being furnished by at
least three score manufacturers. It
will be observed that the output of
apparatus for telephone purposes in
1900 reached $10,512,412, seatteied
through nearly a score of states. These
figures, however, are strictly those of
the manufactuiing side of tho Indus
try, and do not take any account of
the fur more striking data to be de
rived from a study of the subject ntter
this apparatus had gone into service
and Is In tho hands of the public. It
will suflien to point out that in 19U0
the United States showed a per capita
of 1 telephone in 40, while In some
places, such as San Francisco, it had
reached 1 In 12, a. rato that leads tho
world, nnd which has since been grow
ing will, unprecedented rapidity."
As to tho conditions of manufacture,
ns indicated bwy tho census figures,
thoy nro disclosed only In broad rela
tionships, The most Important change
has been that which dealB with switch
board construction, nnd with the ron
sequent luodlUcatlon of apparatus In
tho hantlH of tho Individual subscriber.
Tho central switchboard Is the nppll
unco which enables the operator to put
any one subscriber Into direct com
munication with the other; and In the
"multiple" type this Idea has been
worked out to such an extent that at
tho period covered by this report an
operator at a telephone board could
have no fewer than 0,000 "Jacks" with
in her reach, leprescntlng a similar
number of subscribers, to any one of
whom she could "plug In" the subscrib
ers In her own care, provided tho spe
cific lino was not nlready In use by u
iflll from sonic, "other section of the
board. The Jncks, with a ''distance of
but three-eighths of an Inch between
centers, give tho race of the board tho
appearance of huge slices of honey
comb. A further use of the multiple
board principle may oven, It Is assert
ed, bring 100,000 subscribers within
reach of one girl nt "central."

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New Tork, Nov. 6. With few exe'p
tlons today's stock market was virtually
a, repetition of the first days of the week,
There was the same Irregular tone which
many issues under increased pressure.
Tho only Important development was
tho ofllclal announcement of Jlnnhat-tnn-Intcrborough
lease. Manhattan was
again very extensively traded in, and
madu an early ilse of 14 per cent., later
advancing to 157', nnd closing at 156J&, a
net gain of L",i points oirHrans.icllons con
sldeiably In excess of one-fourth of the
entire day's business. There was much
liquidation of Manhattan lit tho old the
ory that a stock Is a sain when the good
news Is out. The only stocks that opened
with a show of strength were Colorado
Fuel, which continues to bo the center of
a Ilerce controversy, and Hock Island
prefened, which titter a biiuf period of
heaviness advanced 1 per cent., anil
which closed with a net advances of 1
point. Tho initial list was generally low
er, and the material decline In Reading
was subscribed to disappointment over
tho outcome of the more recent coal set
tlement negotiations. Kiirly dealings also
reflected much piessmu against Union
Purine, Southern Piielllc, St. Paul and
IJaltlmore and Ohio, while the industrials
wero very Inactive, with pionounced
heaviness in tho United States Steel
stocks. As on the previous day, the move
in Manhattan brought slight improve
ment elsewhere In tho list but the rallv
barely covered Initial losses, save In St.
Paul and Reading. The market became
duller nnd more irregular, with operations
altogether professional. Colorado Fuel,
after a further gain of a point reacted k
per cent, and closed unchanged. Amal-
gamateu Lopper seemed to Have some
support and Sugar was about steady.
There was practically no news to ex
plain the course of other leading stocks,
except In the railroad group where somo
unsatlsfactoty traffic retains wore re
ported. On the other hand certain other
standard raihoad Issues showed good in
creases. Several purchases of Manhat
tan in 5,000 share blocks came out before
noon, and scores of 1,000 share lots were
traded in. Manhattan's price crossed
Pennsylvania's for the first time, in some
days. St. Paul, Southern Pacific, Union
Pacific and Atchison wero bid un lrac
tionally at times, but it was observed
that these stocks sold off at the first ex
hibition of weakness elsewhere. As the
day wore on the pi ofessional element
showed less inclination to make committ
ments over the holiday. Commission
buying wai nominal throughout, and
much of thiit was western liquidation of
the Steel stock. Little change in these
conditions resulted from tho .Manhattan-
Interboiongh announcement. Tho weak
ness of Texas and Pacific was suDoosed
to result from the Idea that that road
might be most affected by any aggressive
operations or tno antl-uould interests.
The tdne of the market ns the close was
weak. Total sales. 6SS.600 shares. Some
of the active, bonds deelinetl today but
there wore also issues which advanced
slightly. Total sales, par value, .,03.'i,0flu.
United States bonds wero all unchanged
on the last call.
