A FALLING OFF IN 1898 AND 1904 DUE MORE TO
LOWER PRICES THAN LEssENED QUANTITY
1.-THE Engineering and Mining Journal in its issue
to-day says edorially.
The total values Of the mineral and metal produc-
ton of the United States in 1895 and 1894 were
sSl5 S4S sos and s55S.z72c2. showing decline OF no
less than $62,57S,904. or per cent.
This great falling of was. however. due far more
to lower prices than lessened quantity OF the prod
uct. Thus the value Of our coal production de-
clined last year N3,7sSs2S. or per cent; while in
quantity 1t fell of only e.2eo970 short tons or $'s
per cent. This comparatively small decline in the
volume of coal produced Is substantially a measure
Of the whole mineral output OF the country.
On the whole the mineral industry Of the United
States has made highly satisfactory record in
1894 in the quantity produced under such an enor-
nous shrinkage in values. With prices lower than
ever before thought possible, and In the majority OF
cases lower than similar articles are produced
anywhere else in the world the output has de-
clined but little The low prices. no doubt main
tained a large consumption, and now. with reviv-
ing prosperity and prices, the producers Will reap
times.
