Formerly the production Of creo-
sotc. from both coal tar ard wosssi
tar Ear exceeded any demand fer
wood treating purposes However,
ihp number of wood preserving
plants has grown SO rapidly within
the last four wears that this coun-
try is not now able TO supply its own
demand for coat tar creosotc.
4 brief study of the importation
columns of the trade journals shows
the effect Of the growth of the wood
preservation industry In the whole
year OF 1904 the New York imports
amounted to only $500 GOO gallons.
BY the end Of 1907, the importation
had increased to 17.500,000 gallons.
while for the present year conserva-
tive estimates place the imported
coal tar creosote at between % and
% million gallons.
The year has started most auspi-
ciously during a five-weeks' period
i'm December and January the impor-
tation through New York alone was
I 900 900 tons, giving a weekly ave-
erage of 1000 tons or $4,000. gal
Ions II is significant that during his
same period the importation Of .rela-
ted by-products from coaf Kept pace
with that of creosote. Ammonium
carbonates. chloride sulphate, and
sal ammoniac' entered to the
amount of 104. 227, 1860, and 100
tons, respectively II these had been
all made into the sulphate, the equi-
valent product would have been 40
tons per week The estimated ratio
OF twenty pounds of sulphate to one
and oue-half gallons of the creosote
oil would make an equivalent pro-
ducton Of SO 1000 gallons of creo-
sote This is not far different from
the $4,000 gallons which were real
~ imported Since these ammonia
products and creosote are being inn
ported in this relation, it Is plainly
evident that the production OF creo-
sote Is not alone deficient, but also
coal tar products in general.
The production OF creosote In this
country viii, In all probability, con
tinue to be far less than the con
sumption, The wood preservation in
dustry has been in it's infancy only,
and enormous demands may be eX-
pected in the future. The coke, and
consequently tue toai 'ot ihuhNtihS'
have until recently been at their
best but even nj their best the sup
ply of by-products has run short. On
this account, we should turn to 9TH
er sources to supply the increasing
demands for creosote preservatives,
A great help may be eventually
Afforded by the increasing use OF
wood tar creosote which has not
been IN high favor in the past II is
gratifying to note that within the
last few years some OF the more i'm
