CHANCE TO EXPORT CEMENT

Washington, Oct. 2.-When it comes
the time to build up the cities, of Eu-
rope destroyed in the war, the United
States will be In a position to furnish
all the cement required. The United
States geological survey reports that
the supply of raw material here is
practically inexhaustible. The United
States imports relatively little hy-
draulic cement, only about $4,000
barrels having been imported in 1913.
There is really little necessity for
this country to import any cement, for
all sections are now fairly well sup
piled with mills for the manufacture
of Portland cement, and production
last year was nearly 93,000,000 bar
rels. A significant feature of the
cement industry is the fact that
though only about 80 per cent of the
normal cement industry of the coun-
try is employed at the maximum, and
there is often an over production; yet
the exports Of hydraulic cement have
scarcely exceeded 100000 barrels in
any year. this amount being only
about per cent of great activity
American manufacturers have no. vel
made the most of their opportunities
to establish greater export trade. TIL,
