34 STATISTICS OF THE AMERICAN IRON TRADE FOR 1894. of pig iron and iron-ore blooms produced, the probable consumption of iron ore for fettling in rolling mills, and the probable consumption of iron ore in open-hearth furnaces. PRODUCTION OF PIO IRON. Twenty States made pig iron in 1894, three less than in 1890, 1891, 1892, and 1893. None of the Territories make pig iron. The total production of pig iron in 1894 was 6,657,388 gross tons, against 7,124.502 tons in 1893, 9,157,000 tons in 1892, 8,- 279,870 tons in 1891, and 9,202,703 tons in 1890. The production in 1893 was 2,032,498 tons, or over 22 per cent., less than in 1892, and the production in 1894 was 467,114 tons, or over 6.5 per cent., less than in 1893. The production of pig iron in the first half of 1894 was 2,717,- 983 tons, and in the last half of 1894 it was 3,939,405 tons.
