JANUARY 28, 1928

plans call for the display occupying the en-

Pig Iron Production
Production of pig iron in the United States
during 1927 was 36,270,567 tons compared with
39,100,941 tons the previous year, according to
the figures submitted to the U. S. Department
of Commerce. Last year's output was %y 2 per
cent below the record production of 40,025,850
tons in 1923. Imports of pig iron last year were
300,000 tons less than during the preceding
year. The chief imports last year were from
Great Britain, India and Holland. German and
French iron, which had been coming to this
country freely in 1926, was largely absent last
year.
The pig iron industry was in a state of status
quo during 1927. There were no important
changes among selling agencies nor were any
new blast furnaces constructed. This year a
merger among some of the merchant makers
iooms as a probability.
