Output of Cement at Record Mark
In Contrast With Other Materials
No Cut In Production
Shown By Data Of
Government

~ ECENT government reports
of business actively which In
~ a national election year are
regarded with more than ordinary
interest show that one of the de-
termining commodity factors gem
orally considered In gauging the
future, is establishing new high
records. That factor is Portland
cement, which. according to the
latest figures. presents a rather
sharp contrast with other basic
materials used in the building in
dustry, such as steel. lumber and
copper.
Geological survey statistics for
the first six months of this year
show a production for the period
In excess of even last year which
established the highest output up
to that time, and for the month
OF June, shipments greater than In
any previous month.
One of the interesting features
of the situation is that this extra
ordinary volume of production and
shipments has still left, month by
month, comparatively larger stocks
of cement at the mills than existed
for the same months last year.
These facts are regarded by econ
omists as showing that no control
or curtailment of production exists
In this industry.
The relation of cement to the
employment of common labor IN
road building and of both common
and skilled labor in other con-
struction sheds considerable light
on activities in other fields. 1t is
estimated that Portland cement Is
used in about the following pro-
portions:
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1924-08-28

Departments index shows an in
crease for Portland cement from
70 in January to 203 in June as
against declines for iron. steel,
copper and a small increase for
lumber.
Complete statistics for 1928 show
that the rate of cement production
last year reached so per cent above
normal yet production this year
exceeded it. Although production
and shipments have reached these
high proportions the Wholesale
price OF cement has not advanced
as might have been expected.
