Over thirty per cent Of the English pig
iron production in 1878, was from the
Cleveland district in the North Of England.
This is quality Of iron which cannot be
used here at all, except when mixed in
small quantities with our own ore. The
higher grades OF English ore alone, are the
ores that come in competition with our
medium grades, and in the present market
there is very little difference in prices in
favor Of the English pigiron after the duty
is paid. - :. * ~ ~ {.
