The production of pig iron in Great Britain in 1894 is reported by Mr. J. S. Jeans, Secretary of the British Iron Trade Association, to have amounted to 7,364,745 gross tons, or 707,357 tons more than that of the United .States in the same year. PRODUCTION OF PIG IRON IN THE DOMINION OF CANADA. We have this year collected from the manufacturers for the first time the statistics of the production of pig iron in Canada. The total production of pig iron in the Dominion in 1894 was 44,791 grass tons, of which amount the furnaces in the Province of Nova Scotia produced 37,092 tons and the furnaces in the Province of Quebec produced 7,699 tons. Charcoal was used for fuel in the production of 9,411 gross tons, and the remaining 35,380 tons were made with coke and a small quantity of raw bituminous coal. On December 31,1894, there were 7 completed blast furnace stacks in the Dominion of Canada, 4 of which were located in the Province of Nova Scotia and 3 in the Province of Quebec. At the close of the year one stack was under construction at Hamilton, in the Province of Ontario. PRODUCTION OF BESSEMER STEEL. The production of Bessemer steel ingots in the United States in 1894 was 3,571,313 gross tons, against 3,215,686 tons in 1893 and 4,168,435 tons in 1892. There was an increase of 355,627 tons, or over 11 per cent, in 1894 as compared with 1893. The production in 1893 was the smallest since 1889. The following table shows the production by States of Bessemer steel ingots in the first half and second half of 1894, and the total production in 1894 as compared with that of 1893.

The plant of the Ohio Steel Company, located at Youngstown, containing two 10-ton converters, was completed early in 1895 and the first blow of steel was made on February 4th. In the summer of 1894 the Johnson Company commenced the erection of a large Bessemer steel plant at I-orain, near Cleveland, and since the beginning of the present year the steel-rail mill of the company has been removed from .Johnstown, Pa., to Lorain. The first blow of steel at Lorain was made on April 1, 1895. Fifteen of the old standard Bessemer steel plants made no steel in 1894. Of the four Clapp-Griffiths steel plants still standing and in good condition three were idle in 1894. Two of the five Robert-Bessemer plants made no steel in that year. Bessemer steel, including the production of the Clapp-Griffiths and Roliert-Bessemer converters, was made in nine States in 1894, lour States less than in 1893, namely, New York. Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, and Colorado. The three leading Bessemer steel producing States are Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Ohio. In 1894 Pennsylvania made over 65 per cent, of all the Bessemer steel produced, against over 66 per cent, in 1893, over 57 per cent, in 1892, 63 per cent, in 1891, and 61 per cent, in 1890. Illinois made over 16 per cent. in 1894, against over 9 per cent, in 1893, over 21 per cent, in 1892, 18 per cent, in 1891, and over 20 per cent, in 1890. Ohio made over 10 per cent, in both 1894 and 1893, against almost 10 per cent, in 1892, 10 per cent, in 1891, and over 9 per cent. in 1890. Its production of Bessemer steel will be largely increased when the new plants at Youngstown and Lorain are in full operation.
