and other countries about two-fifths as much coal anil coke<br />
as she produces. Her exports of coal and coke amount to about<br />
one million tons annually.<br />

Steel.—Mr. Pmget informs us that complete statistics of the production<br />
of Bessemer, open-hearth, and other steel in ingots are not<br />
of record, and that only the statistics of finished steel, including<br />
castings, are obtainable. The following table gives the production<br />
of all kinds of finished steel in France from 1860 to 1894.<br />

Separate statistics of steel rails in France for a long period<br />
are limited to the roils consumed by the leading railroad lines.<br />
W e omit the figures of consumption. All the rails annually produced<br />
are, however, included in the above table of finished steel.
