Increasing Importarions OF Iron ana Steel.

The importation of iron and steel,
which has characterized the past year,
shows no signs of abatement. The value
of iron and steel imports in the month
of March, as shown by the figures of the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics, amounted
to over 81 900, 900, against about g., O0O,-
900 in March last year and for the nine
months ending with March amounted to
over s3S 900 900, against less than sl9,-
100000 in the corresponding nine months
of last year. Curiously, all of the more
important articles or classes of articles so
imported are those of which the United
States is heavy producer. The United
States is now by far the largest pig iron
producer in the world, having last year
produced more of this article than the
United Kingdom and Germany COM
bined, her production having practiclly
doubled since 1897. Yet the importa-
tons of iron and steel during the fiscal
year which is to end next month will be
