10.67 per cent. The shrinkage shown by the other industries are all below ten per cent.

Table No. 10, which concludes the tabular presentation of manufacturing industry in New Jersey for the year 1914, shows both the quantity and character of power used in the factory industries of New Jersey, as these details were reported by the individual establishments.

The following table shows a comparison of the power used in 1914, with that reported in 1913.

The above table shows the number of steam engines, water wheels and other power generating motors in use by the manufacturing industries of New Jersey, during the year 1914, in comparison with similar data for 1913. The total number of motors of all kinds in use in 1914 was 30,218; in 1913 the number reported was 25,144. The total horse power in 1914 was 865,067, against 768,378 in 1913: the increase in the number of motors in 1914, as compared with 1913, is 5,074, and in horse power the increase is 96,689. The number of steam engines shows a decrease of 175 in 1914, as compared with 1913, but the horse power shows an increase of 48,682, which can be accounted for only on the theory that many of the smaller engines in use in 1913 were replaced by a smaller number of much more powerful machines in 1914. The next most important of primary motors are the gas and gasoline engines, of which there were 390 in 1914, producing 17,650 horse power. There were 15 more of these engines in use in 1914 than were reported in 1913, although the horse power shows a falling off of 908. Turbine and overshot water wheels, and other water motors, have shown a small but steadily maintained decline in number and power for several

years, back. As shown by the table, the number of motors of these kinds was 12 less in 1914 than in 1913, and the horse power shows a falling off of 261. That the use of electric motors has largely increased is shown by the fact that the number and horse power is 5,237 and 51,240 greater, respectively, in 1914 than in 1913.

The table which follows presents a summary of the Statistics of Manufactures of New Jersey for 1914, as elaborated in the ten general tables, in comparison with similar data for 1913. The increases and decreases are shown in absolute numbers, and by percentages.
