attention to the rapid growth of this industry in the United States which has now become; the leading world producer of aluminium. A com pilation by The National City Bank of New York shows that the production of aluminium in the United States has grown from 60,0oO lbs. in 1890 to T. GOO, 900 in 1900. 4S,000,0 900 in 1910. 100,- O0O,e0o in 1915, 14O,o0O1o0O in 1916. and approximately 1S0,00O,oO0 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 16 millions in 1915, and ap- proximately 46 millions in 1917.
 This rapid increase in our production in this line places the United States far in the lead arr ong the aluminium pro-
