46 STATISTICS OF THE AMERICAN IRON TRADE FOR 1894. PRODUCTION OF PLATES AND SHEETS. The production of plate and sheet iron and steel in the United States in 1894. excluding nail plate, amounted to 682,900 gross tons, against 674.345 tons in 1893 and 751,460 tons iu 1892. The production of skelp iron and steel is not included in any of our tables with plates and sheets, but with other rolled material. The following table gives the production of iron and steel plates and sheets, by States, not including nail plates, in 1894, in gross tons. For the first time we have separated plates and sheets by gauges in our statistics for 1894, observing the following classification: Plates, up to No. 8 inclusive; firebed, No. 9 to No. 19 inclusive ; sheets', No. 20 to No. 25 inclusive, and No. 26 and thinner gauges. This classification was adopted after consultation with the manufacturers. Plates-Lp!

No other State made 2 per cent. PRODUCTION OF CUT NAILS. Our statistics of the production of iron and steel cut nails and cut spikes in the United States do not embrace railroad and other spikes made from bar iron, wire nails of any size, or machinemade horseshoe nails. Cut spikes are included with cut nails. Our total production of cut nails in 1894 was 2,425,060 kegs of 100 pounds each, against 3,048,933 kegs in 1893, a decrease of 623,873 kegs, or over 20 per cent. There has been a steady decline in the production of cul nails nnce 1886, in which rear the maximum production of 8,160,973 kegs was reached. In 1894 our production of wire nails, as will be shown Mow, exceeded our production of cut nails by over 3,000,000 kegs. Nine States made cut nails in 1894. The following table shows the production ol" iron and steel cut nails by States from 1889 to 1894, in kegs of 100 pounds. We have added to the table the wire-nail production for these years.
