PRODUCTION OF STEEL.
Output for 1908 Shows That Heavis,
Bessemer Rails Are in
Demand.

A recent issue of the Bulletin, the
official organ of the American Iron and
Steel association, makes the following
announcement concerning the produc-
ton of Bessemer steel ingots and rails
during the year 1908:
"The total production of Bessemer
steel ingots and castings in 1908 will
be s,577,22S gross tons, against 9,13s,-
1888 tons in 1902, decrease of 561 ,lS5
tons, or over six per cent. The pro-
duction Of 1902 was much the largest
in our history.
1.-THE production of all kinds of Bss-
semer steel rails was 2,S13,5S3 gross
tons, against similar production in
1902 of 2,S76.2s3 tons. The production
in 1903 was e2,710 tons less than IN
1901, when the maximum production
was reached.
There was large increase In 1908
IN the production of Bessemer steel
rails weighing IS pounds and over, ~
compared with 1902, and considerable
decrease in rails weighing As pounds
and over and less than So pounds. The
production in 1903 Of rails weighing
less than AZ pounds also shows q de-
crease.
1.-THE total production Of rails In 1903
will include rails made from open
hearth steel, rails rolled from pur-
chased Bessemer blooms, rails rerolled
by nonproducers of Bessemer steel in
gots, and iron rails. The total from
all these sources in 1902 amounted to
71,640 tons.'
