In judging the Industrial statng of
any nation, its production and con-
sumption of coal, fron, and steel and
the growth of its trasportation syp-

In 1808, French Industries consumed
21 million tons of coal, of which 18.5%
In 1012, the consumption was 61 mil.
Hons, of which 41 million tons were
taken from home mines.
In 1809, the Wrench cutput of cast
