Steel RniI Production.

Steel rail production In 1897 says the
American Iron and Steel associations re-
port, amounted to l,647,S92 gross tons for
all kinds OF rails. as against ll22,olO tons
in 1896. The output for 1897 was made up
of 1614 1899 tons OF Bessemer steel rails.
30.l2l tons of re-rolled Bessemer steal
rails. 500 tons OF open hearth steel rails
and 2s72 tons OF iron rails. or the total
production Pennsylvania made l,O219s6
tons, or GO per cent, and Illinois made over
20 per cent. The openhearth rails we're
made IN Alabama and California. AS to
weight OF rails there were made $500 gross
tons under 10 pounds per yard; 1898 435
tons between As and SO pounds. and S55,iil
