It is fair to say, however, that so far as the mer- chant furnaces are concerned, the ex- pansion is regarded by many as little premature. There were Is more furnaces active on September 1 than were ln operation on August 1. while in the two months in the second half of the year the gain was 2S furnaces. It is known that additional stacks are preparing to 20 in and as matter Of fact, some have already started since the opening of the month We estimate the capacity of the active plants on September 1 at S13,112 tons weekly, as compared with 2S4,59O tons on August 1, and the mini mum of 232, ,652 tons on January and maximum of 5,53S tons OH May l. 1907.
 The production of the coke and anthra- cite furnaces reached 1,34S,S31 tons in Au- gust as compared with 1,216,129 tons In July.
 There has been rather more activity in pig iron in certain sections
 Generally speaking, better feeling is developing in the export trade, and bus mess is picking up in all quarters with the exception of Great Britain.
