u. s, Leads in Aluminus

The growth of the aluminium in
dustry in the United States, says Com.
mercial America" has been so rapid
that this country has now become the
leading world producer of aluminium
A compilation by the National City
Bank of New York shows that the pro-
duction of aluminium in the United
states has grown from 10000 pounds
in 1899 to 1000. 900 in 1900 $4,000 900
in 1910; 100000. 900 in 1915, 10000
400 in 1916. and approximately lso,,-
600. GOO in 1917, these figures being in
very round terms. The value of the
product. which amounted to a couple
of million dollars in 1900. was sixteen
millions in 1915, and approximately
forty-six millions in 1917.
This rapid increase in production
places the United states far in the
lead among the aluminium producing
| countries of the world. In fact, about
one-half of the worlds output of alumni
mum is now produced in the United
states. for while authorities differ
| somewhat as to the production by GER
tain of the respective countries, they
! agree that America produces about
| one-half of the worlds output. which
is vaTiously estimated at from $4,000
to 10000 tons. or slightly more than
the worlds production of tin. for which
aluminium is now becoming a substitute
in certain lines.-The Frotectionist.
