The Output Never So Great, Yet the De-
mand Exceeds It.
WASHINGTON, DO. Especially From all
the iron centres come reports OF the great
boom In American IRON. During NovSm-
Der the furnace capacity was increased,
and the coke and anthracite plants at work
are turning out more pig iron than they
have ever done before In this or any other
country. The 2s5, ,52s gross tons capacity
Of American furnaces on December ! fs a.
new worlds record. Furnace stocks have
been further depleted, and outside OF the
steel works producing their own iron, there
is not enough pig iron to supply the de-
mand. This Is usually, dull season In the
iron trade, but the market reports show
heavy buying and consequent rise IN
prices.
Ths Treasury Bureau Of Statistics re.
ports that the total exports OF IRON and
steel and manufactures thereof during Oc-
tober, 1898, footed up s7,2s9, S96. For the
first ten months OF 1893 they were $67 ,29o,-
$50, as compared with S51 1868, OFT for the
same time IN 1897, and s3S, ,957 ,645 In ten.
months OF 1896. This shows that in two
years they have nearly doubled.
