ILLINOIS 185 chusetts, Ohio, and Connecticut; in the value of products by New York, Pennsylvania, Mas- sachusetts, Ohio, and Missouri. In the value of the products of butchering, distilled liquors, planed lumber, and pork packed, Illinois ranked first. The relation of the state to the United States in these industries is shown in the fol- lowing statement of the total value of products : INDUSTRIES.

From the above table it ap- pears that more than one third in value of all the pork packed in the United States in 1870 was contributed by Illinois. Formerly the supremacy in this respect was held by Ohio, in consequence of the magnitude of this industry in Cincinnati ; but since 1862-'3 that supremacy has been held by Chicago. Accord- ing to a careful report prepared for the Cincin- nati chamber of commerce by Sidney D. Max- well, the number of hogs packed in the south- ern and western states from Nov. 1, 1873, to March 1, 1874, was 5,383,810, the aggregate gross weight of which was 1,444,311,304 Ibs. ; of these, 1,870,855, weighing in the aggregate 511,867,475 Ibs., were packed in Illinois. The aggregate cost of the hogs was $22,694,399, and the total product of lard 69,808,163 Ibs. The chief centres of this industry for two years are shown in the following statement : PLACES WHERE PACKED. NUMBER OF HOGS PACKED. 1872-'8. 1878--4.

The capital invested amounted to $94,368,057; wages paid during the year, $31,100,244; value of materials, $127,600,077; of products, $205,- 620,672.
