tons. As compared with the production

MNe.& long tons. or zis,s7A6s7 short
toas. this indicates an Increase OF over
kGoo.oco long tons. or i7b per cent These
n9nrcs exceed by lb,000,0Oo short tons the
outside estimates heretofore made on the
uoai tonnage for 1899. The production OF
Wps.Vo short tons In 1898 was nearly

Industry.
Il 10 not impossible that the figures for
