16 IRON ORE, COAL. PIG IRON, AND The heavv decline in the imports of rails from 1873 to 1879 was caused by the panic of 1873 and the business depression which followed and continued until 1879. The almost complete cessation of the imports of rails since 1887 is due chiefly to the cheapening of the prices of domestic rails, which in turn has been due to the perfecting of facilities for their production and t«> the cheapening of the cost of raw materials.

Nails.—The production of iron and steel cut nails in the United States from 1856 to 1894 has been a3 follows, in kegs of 100 pounds. In 1883 the production of steel cut nails in the United States iu commercial quantities was commenced, and in 1889 and 1890 about two-thirds of the total production of cut nails were made of steel. Since 1890 the use of steel in the manufacture of cut nails has still further displaced the use of iron. 1856 1872 1873 1874 1875 1876 1877 1878 Years. Keg*.
