The industry in 1900 had 651 factories with 20,160 workers and 16 million rubles of production value. Most important was the sugar industry, which produced for over 5 million rubles. This was followed by metal processing (especially tea machines), iron foundry and brandy distillery. The house industry in metal goods was in decline after 1900. In addition to the industrial products mentioned, the trade sold bristles and grain (especially oats) in large quantities, benefiting from the highly developed railway network for Russian standards at the time.
