Complete Returns of the Production Of
Last Year


Complete Returns ofthe Production Of
Last Year.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. l0.-Through the
courtesy of the manufacturers the Bulletin
of the American Iron and Steel Association
is this week enabled to give complete re-
turns of the production of Bessemer steel
rails in this country in 1887, not including a
few tons which were rolled by iron rolling
mills from imported blooms, but including
all rails rolled by Bessemer steel works.
The Bulletin says: The production of
steel rails by our Bessemer steel works in
the first half of 1887 was 1,030,5 $50
gross tons, and in the second
half of 1887, it was l,0l9, 1903 tons, or {, 049,-
G3S gross tons i'll the whole year. This re-
suit was 4S7 DDS tons greater than the total
production of ,562, 4l0 gross tons of Besse-
mer steel rails by the Bessemer Steel Works
in 1886. The production in the last half of
1897 was only II ,422 tons less than in the first
half. The new year does not open aus
piciously for our steel rail friends, Many
large orders are still withheld, and wprKs
which closed down in December are still
idle"
RAIL MILLS IDLE.
PITTsBURG, PA, Jan. 10.-On account of
the great falling off in coke shipments
within the past month the coke operators
nave been compelled to close down their
ovens two days a week to prevent an over
stocked market. A few months ago the
operators complained of scarcity
Of cars, but at present they
have more cars than they have
use for. The cause of the reduction in the
demand of coke is the shutting down of rail
mills. 1t is stated that a struggle is now in
progress between the steel rail mauufactur-
ers and the railway managers The latter
decided not to purchase any rails until the
price was reduced to $50 per ton. The rail
manufacturers still demand from S33 to $50
per ton, and upon one pretext after another
have closed down their mills one by one,
some to make repairs, etc, until to-day
nearly all the steel rail mills of the country
are idle.

According to recent Investigations is caused by
exec of Tactic acid in the blood. This acid at
tacks the fbrouS tissues, particularly in the
joints, and causes the local manifestations of
the disease pains and aches in the back and

its purifying and vitalzing action, neutralizes
