total was AL $40 tons, and the animal
increase was steady, till last year the
production amounted to ZIP $50 toas.
In Kentucky, Georgia, Maryland and
Texas there was an absolute falling
off during the time, owing to the
blowing OUT If a number Of char
coal furnaces, the demand for char
coal iron having very largely dimin-
