AMERICAN WIRE NAILS.
Used in Practically Every Country
ON the Globe

ON the Globe.
The rapid growth in expectation of
American manufactures is Illustrated by
some figures which the bureau Of st atis-
tics has recently compiled reg garding the
exports Of wire nails. This compilation
is the result of recent publication in the
British Ircn and Coal Traces Review,
whi:h says that lit is clear that the
United States threatens Eulope with a
serious competition in the nail trade
despite the fact that il is a highly finished
product and involves the cup 3yment of a
large amount of skilled labor This CON-
liIatlon shows that the expert alton Of wire
iaiis from the United States has grown
from l,547,G'S pounds in the fiscal year
1888 TO 22S4,G99 pounds in lie tis al wear
1s9S The growth, which has been phe-
nomenal ever since the bsgin1ng mas been
especially so in the last two OF three wears
In 1893 the expectations were 1867 267'
pounds: in 1896, S.c31 927 pounds. TINS
practically doubling in one year: and in
lsaS - o9i,G9, showing siinilar Sair. in
the last two years, the exports of 1898
being more than five times those of 1885,.
The universal demand for this product OF
American Workn1en is shown by the fact
that our wire nails go to every grand div
sion OF the globe, and to practically every
country. Germany France ReIei;;ir
Netherlands, the United Kingdom Canada,
central America. the West Eldies, all the
south American states, Cllina. Japar,
Asiatic Russia. British Australasia French
cceanica. British and Portuguese Africa
in fact it is titIicult 10 tind c. spot among
the civilized and semi-civiiz ed people Of
the globe where this receni, product OF
American invention aud Anierican labor
does not | ow find a place. TO the Danish
West Indies the exports last year were
1850 pounds; to Peru, 25,9s5 poundc: to
Argentina, 26S9i2 pounds: to China 1882
pounds: to British Africa 10 800 pounds:
to British Australasia, 1.11S,45J pounds
and to Japan. 2...!?2 pounds. the exports
to Japan being larger than TO any other
country ana forming in the fiscal year
1877 nearly one-hah of the total exports
