IRON AND STEEL
The Volume Fell Off Slightly
 in August
The Reduction Was Not as Great as Had Been Anticipated by Students of the Subject.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The anticipated steel in the foreign trade of the United States did not make itself as apparent in the August record as was expected by stuCents of this subject. The fig ures of the August imports and ex- ports of iron and steel just presented by the department of commerce and labor, through it's bureau of statistics, show that the imports of iron and steel IT. August. 1903. were $3.44O. 100 in value. against $3529,676 in the preceding month-July-and against $4123, ,314 in August of last year. Thus the falling off of imports of iron and steel in Au- gust. compared with the preceding month, amounted to less than $lG000O. and compared with August of last year amounted to $6S3.214. Practically all of the reduction occurs in ingots. blooms. slabs, billets. and bars of steel, and tin plates. The quantity of ingots. blooms, slabs, billets, and bars of steel, and steel in forms not otherwise speci- fed imported in the month of August, 1903, was 45.650 655 pounds, against IA 016,956 pounds in July, 1903, and S7,420,- 1O4 pounds in August, 1902 In tin plate the importation of August, 1903. was 6,917.012 pounds. against 11,598, 703 pounds in July, 1903. and 6,2S7, ,1O6 pounds in August, 1902. While the re- duction in these two items shown in pounds seems large, the actual reduc- ton. as already shown. is less than $1O0, ,OO0, as compared With the preced- ing month of the present year, while for the eight months ending with Au- gust the total value was S32, ,2S9, ,525. against s23, 456, 760 in the corresponding eight months of last year, and 12,21O,- 3S2 in the corresponding eight months of the preceding year, 1901.
