Washington, d. c., May 19.-Mr,
John Berkenbine, the iron ore exporter
of Philadelphia, has prepared for the
division of mineral resources of the
United States geological survey an ex-
haustive report of the iron ore re-
sources OF the world In which the
production OF the world OF iron ore in
1898 is estimated at about l2.5O0,OOO
long tons.
The portion OF this report relating
to the United States shows that the
total production of iron ore in this
country in 1894 was ll,S79,619 long tons
of 22A0 pounds, as compared with H.
5S7, 629 long tons In 1898. This Is an IN
crease of about IL per cent. This
production is only 73 per cent OF the
maximum production of the United
States. namely, 16.296.666 long tons,
which was the output In 1892, but IL
slightly greater than that of 1888. the
proportion In that year being II per

falling of. This falling Off is further
shown by the statement that the aver

has been but l1,733,65i long tons, a

OF 1893 was 1877; at the close OF 1884,
1856. Tweniy-four states produced iron
ore in iS9s ranging in amount from

Washington, May 10, "A careful COM

in view OF the great resources OF the
nation. The first Chinese loan was
made in 1875, and since that date there
have been various issues, mostly for
small amounts. The rate OF interest
on these loans varies considerably, ow-
ing probably to the different character
of the security offered, but the highest
figure is 10 per cent. and 1t may be
significant that the last, made during
the tendency OF the war, was placed
as low as per cent. Most of these
loans were paid to the Chinese IN sill

stipulated that they shall be repaid in

be refunded in gold. In view OF this
