Russian stnlistics of production are given in poods, each of<br />
which the Treasury Department of the United States Government<br />
regards as the equivalent of 36.112 pounds. The reductions<br />
to metric tons which we have mode in the following tables<br />
have Iwen made on this basis.<br />
The tables herewith presented have Iwen compiled in pari from<br />
data furnished us in 1890 by Mr. Ge<strong>org</strong>e Komensky, of the Imperial<br />

metallurgical exhibits at the World's Columbian Exposition at<br />
Chicago in that year, and prepared by Mr. A. Keppen. mining<br />
engineer. The statistics of Finland are included in the statistics<br />
we shall present. It is to Iw regretted that statistics of the production<br />
of iron ore, coal, pig iron, and steel in Russia can not<br />
be presented in a more satisfactory form.<br />
