Show United States a Good Customer. Russia, hitherto a pig-iron importing import-ing country, exported to America this year over 32,000 tons of pig Iron; Germany Ger-many sent her immense quantities of pig iron and manufactured steel; even France contributed supplies and Cleveland, Cleve-land, west coast hematite and Scottish pigs owe all their advances and their present stability entirely to America. To Germany this unexpected demand must have proved an unmixed blessing, bless-ing, rescuing her from what was fast approaching a commercial crisis, says the Edinburgh Scotsman. |
