In thirteen of the chief factories there were 263 spinning machines; three cotton factories alone contained 138. Besides these larger establishments, 3122 workshops, not considerable enough to be ranked as manufactories, employed alone 19,638 work-people; and 142 industrial establishments, such as founderies, breweries, distilleries, tallow and soap works, &c., gave bread to thousands more.
The consumption of the principal raw materials of manufacture is thus stated as an average of that and recent preceding years.

The machinery for the manufactories is made for the most part in the founderies and machine-works of Vladimir, Tamboff, Kalouga, and Riazan, but, above all, in the city of Tula and the village of Parlovo. In McCulloch's Statistical Dictionary, the number of steam-engines in the government of Moscow is stated, for 1830, at about 100—in 1820, two only being in existence. On what authority the statement is given does not appear; our own documents, to 1841 inclusive, are silent on that head. For Moscow, with its immediate environs, the total number and the produce of the cotton looms are thus given:—
| Cotton loom, | 17,000 | |
| Producing annually, | 450,000 | pieces of calico |
| Do. | 400,000 | do. of nankeen |
| Do. above, | 2,000,000 | do. of handkerchiefs |
| In the whole, inclusive of other goods, such as muslins, velvets, &c., &c., equal to above, | 40,000,000 | arschines of fabrics |
| Valued at | 7,500,000 | silver rubles. |
The arschine is about twenty-eight English inches. The silk manufacture, of recent establishment only in Moscow, presented the following results, for that city and the surrounding districts:—
| Number of common looms, | 10,000 | |

The woollen manufactories of Moscow, inclusive of the environs, employed apart smaller loom shops:—
