Miss Silverstein was filed with judge

Manganese Manufacture

PHILADELPHIA Dec. 7.-~Embar-
gos against the expeort of manga
nese ore from India and the colsing
of the Dardanelles, preventing ship
ments from Black sea ports, threaten
further scarcity of ferro-manganese,
necessary to steel manufacture, ac-
cording to a Philadelphia official of
the American Manganese Company,
which recently started up its plant at
Dunbar, Pa, on Minnesota ore.
He stated that the Dunbar plant
was now turning out about 200 tons
daily of 40 per cent. ferro-manganese,
The United States uses about 100000
tons of so per cent. manganese an
nually. Early in August, when for
eign shipments were cut off entirely
for a time, there was a panic in the
trade and prices scared to previously
unheard OF heights. A reaction came
and the trade has been comparatively
quiet since. 1t is expected, however,
that another heavy buying movement
may set in the last of December or
in January, as foreign shipments are
not picking up and the supply on
hand in the country is diminishing.
