tistics of total pig iron production,
was only 1876 gross tons, against
91,757 tons in the second half OF
1892 and 1874 tons on the first
half.
The number of furnaces in blast
on June so, 1893. was 226, against
253 on December 81, 1893. and !G6
on June 80, 1892. The number out
of blast on June 80, 1893, was BIZ.
The stocks of pig iron which were
unsold in the hands of the makers or
their agents on June 80, 1898, and
which were not intended to be
used by the manufactures, amounted
to $40, III gross tons, in which fig
urcs are included part Of the stocks
held in the yards Of the American
Pig Iron Storage Warrant Company,
and which was under the control of
the makers, the part in these yards
not under their control amounting to
$4,000 gross tons, which, addod to
the $40, 14l tons above mentioned,
makes total of 579.93l gross tons
which were on the market at that
date, against 535, S3l tons Deem
Der 81, 1892.
There was, therefore, total in
crease in stocks Of pig iron on the
market at the close of June last, rs
compared with the end of December,
1892, Of 1925 tons. The accumu-
lation of stocks was chiefly in coke
and bituminous pig iron.

THERON OUTPUT.
A Failing Off For the Present Yes


A Failing Off For the Present Year.
The bulletin of the American Iron
and Steel Association has received
complete statistics Of the production
of pig iron in the United States in
the first six months Of 1898; also
complete statistics of the stock of
high iron which was on hand and for
sale on the 30tl of June last.
The total production Of pig iron in
the United States in the first half Of
1898 was 4,5G2,91S gross tons,
against 4 337 ,317 tons in the second
half of 1892, an increase Of 173, Sol
tons. The production of the first
half of 1892 was. however, !, 769, 1888
tons. Compared with the first half
of 1892 the production of the first
half of 1893 shows decrease of 206,
765 tons.
The production Of the second half
of the present year, the bulletin says,
will undoubtedly be less than that of
the second half Of last year, SO that
the total production of 1898 will be
much less than the total production
of 1892. The facts upon which this
forecast is based are SO we'll known
that they need not be stated. 1t is,
however, most remarkable fact that
the production of the first halfof this
year of great depression i'll the iron
trade should show an increase over
that of the more prosperous second
half of 1892.
Pennsylvania largely increased her
production in the first half of 1898,
and there was a large decrease in Ill

pig iron in the first half of 1898 was
the largest half yearly production in
our history amounting to 2,374's90

The manufacture of charcoal pig
iron was at one time large and
Aourishing industry in the Lake SUI
perior iron district. Today there is
not n charcoal furnace in blast any
where in the district. The blowing
out Of the last two or three furnaces
has been brought about by the de-
preston in the iron trade and the
stringcncy in the money market, but
causes lying deeper have been at
work for many years to destroy this
industry
The modern furnaces using coke
as fuel have improved their pro-
cesscs until coke irons now are not
so greatly inferior to that manufact-
ured with charcoal. Steel has also
replaced charcoal iron for many arti-
cles in which the latter was once
considered indispensable The de-
struction of the great forests Of hard
wood which once thickly covered the
entire upper peninsula of Michigan,
where the forests were not Of white

bic to say that not q pound Of IRON

their cordial support, and that its
growth will mean great things for
the promotion Of Education, Morality
and Fraternity in the land.
Excellent temporary buildings
have been secured for use until the

be complete, some time next year;
and DR.. Spence and his coadiutors
look to the erection here, at an early
day, of magnificent group of Col
