42 STATISTICS OF THE AMERICAN IKON TRADE FOR 1894. PRODUCTION OF OPEN-IIEARTH STEEL. Our statistics of the production of opon-hcarth steel in the United States include steel made in the open hearth by the basic process, which we have not undertaken to classify separately. Direct costings are included with ingots. The production of oiien-hearth steel ingots in the United States; in 1894 was 784,936 gross tons, against 737,890 tons in 1893, an increase of 47,046 tons, or over 6 per cent.

STATISTICS OF THE AMERICAN IRON TRADE FOR 1894. 43 tons in 1890. Blister, puddled, and "patented" steel, including i< "patented" steel castings, are embraced in these figures. TOTAL PRODUCTION OF STEEL. The production of all kinds of steel in the United States in 1894 was as follows: Bessemer steel, 3.571,313 gross tons; openhearth steel, 784,936 tons; crucible steel, 51,702 tons; all other steel, 4,081 tons: total, 4,412,032 tons, against 4,019,995 tons in 1893 and 4,927,581 tons in 1892. TOTAL PRODUCTION OF ROLLED IRON AND STEEL. By the phrase rolled iron and steel we include all iron and steel rolled into finished forms, as follows: (1) all sizes of iron and steel rails; (2) plate and sheet iron and steel; (3) iron aud steel plates for cut nails and cut spikes; (4) wire rods; (5) iron and steel structural shapes; (6) bar, bolt, hoop, skelp, and rolled axles. Hammered axles and other forgings are not included. The production of all iron and steel rolled into finished forms iu the United States in 1894 was 4,787,807 gross tons, against 4,975,685 tons in 1893, a decrease of 187,878 tons, or 3.7 per cent. Twenty-seven States rolled cither iron or steel or both iron and steel in 1893 and 1894.
