LOCK MANUFACTORY.—There is an establishment in New Haven in which fifty hands are employed in the manufacture of door-locks, latches and knobs, of all sizes and patterns. The aggregate of wages paid to the workmen, is about $20,000 per annum. No less than 120,000 of the kind called mineral knobs are made per annum, besides immense numbers of locks varying in price from $5 to $50 per dozen, and in nine different styles. Establishments of this kind support the farmers much better than sending their produce to Europe to exchange for these articles of useful hard-ware.
