IRON ORE, COAL, PIG IRON, AND The first shipments of coal and coke through the locks and pools of the Monongahela Navigation Company began in 1844, in which year the total shipments amounted to 737.150 bushels. For the first time the shipments exceeded 100,000,000 bushels in 1882. The total shipments for that year and succeeding years have been as follows, nearly all the shipments being of coal. 1882 1883 1884 1885 1886 Years.

STEEL IN AM. COUNTRIES, Imports and Exports of Coal and Coke.—The United States is neither a Urge importer nor a large exporter of coal. The imports are chiefly from Australia and British Columbia to Sun Francisco, from Great Britain to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. and from Nova Scotia to Atlantic coast ports. The exports are made principally by rail and by lake and sea to the Canadian provinces. Exports are alto made by sea to the West Indies, to Central and South America, and elsewhere. The following table gives the imports and exports of coal by the United States in the calendar years from 1886 to 1894, in gross tons. Coke and slack are not included in the figures given. 1886 1887 1888 1SS9 1890 1891 1893 1894 Years. Anthracite. 2,039 14.181 24,093 20,652 15,145 37,607 65,058 58,766 89,855 Imports—Gnow tons.

Slates imports and exports verv little coke. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1804, the imports of coke amounted to 31,403 gross tons, valued at 889,200, nearly all coming from England and most of the remainder from Belgium. Nearly all the coke imported in 1894 was received at Pacific coast ports. In the same fiscal year the exports of coke amounted in value to $184,009. The destination of the coke exj>oi'tcd was as follows: Mexico, $146,701; Canada, 812,790; Venezuela, 817,890; other countries, $7,122. For the above statistics we are indebted to the Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department. Ptg Iron,—There are no complete statistics of the production of pig iron in the colonial period of the United States. Small quantities of pig iron were annually exported from 1728 to the beginning of the Revolution, chiefly to England, the largest quantity exported in any year being in 1770, when 6,017 tons were sent to England and other countries. The largest annual exports of colonial bar iron also appear to have been iu 1770. when we sent to all countries 2,463 tons. The furnaces of that day were largely used to produce castings directly from the melted metal iu
