During this period DESPITE a massive reduction in the actual number of people doing raw material extraction the ammount of stuff extracted skyrocketed. This is not reflected in the game...Even with all the technology and railrodas, the net ammount of production decreases (particularly of agricultural RGOs). This is because most POPs are sent to industrial work (probably too many by historic standards). It might be useful to look at the net modifiers for RGO production (I think coal ends up around +300% while grain only is around +75%).
Raw commodidty prices fell throughout the period in spite of fast growing demand because of an even faster growing supply.
Just some thoughts...I'll look into those modifiers
