A RECORD YEAR FOR PIC IRON.
That of Great Britain,
The production of pig iron in 1805 has
verified tho predictions made early in the
year that if the
nage would be exceeded, The total output,
nozording to official figures compiled by the
American Manufacturer shows a production
ol § 387,680 tons, exceeding 18%, the largest
previous year, which had a tonnage of 9
In 1892 the output was 9, 157
000 tons. The tonnage of 18M is exceeded
by 780,251 tons,
Unless Great Britain shall greatly exceed
any years production the tonnage of the
v nied States will far outstrip the British,
“rent Pritain’s heaviest year wan 1982, woen
8,549,680 tons was turned out, and in 1504
ner produstion was 8 only 7,864,745 tons,
