(Lunllnuad on Page Seven) BRITAIN INCREASING HER OUTPUT OF STFEL LONDON, July 7.—Great Brit- aln is manufacturing and consum- ing more steel this year than during any peace time period in ite higtory. The output this ,year promises to exceed the record year of 1913 when England p: duced 10 per cent of the world's output. The world production of steel is expanding, too. The total out- put of 1913 was 76,000,000 tons. By 1926 it had Increased to 87, 500,000 tons. In 1926, owing to the general strike and a prolonged coal strike, Great RBritain's share of the world production fell w about 4 per cent. This year, the world is making steel at the rate of more than 90,000,000 tons for the full year, which would be at least 14,000,060 tons more than in 1913, and Mz” British share of the total world'a output promises to be somewhe.a’ near 12 per cent, or 2 per ¢ higher than in the last full year before the war. \ In March the British steel ou’ put achieved the new record '¢‘ 949,600 tons for the month. This record output of stosl concurrent with diminished ex- ports and greatly increased Vi & ports. There was a time wl two thirds of the steel made 11 Britain was exported, now Britain is using more steel than shs producing. The reason is that the and engineering trades are ta) greater tonuages of steel tl any time before in the Britain, &
