Imports of Iron Ore—Prior to 1879 statistics showing the quantity<br />
of iron ore annually imported into the United States were<br />
not preserved by the Treasury Department. In that year we<br />
began for the first time to import iron ore largely from Europe,<br />
and since then the statistics of the quantity of iron ore annually<br />
imported have been preserved. Prior to 1879 such iron ore as<br />
was imported came largely from Canada. Thia ivftfi notably tincase<br />
in 1873, 1874, ami 1875, in which years more than one-half<br />
of our iron-ore imports was received at lake [Kirts from Canada.<br />
In no year before 1879, however, did our total imports of iron ore<br />
exceed 100,000 tons. In that year they amounted to 284.141 tons.<br />
In the following table we give the total imports of iron ore<br />
into the United States in the calendar years from 1880 to 1894.<br />
