PROSPECT OF THE INDUSTRY.
Great Britain 15 at the present time making more steel than ever before, except during some of the war years, and is consuming far more steel than at any previous period in times of peace. March was a record month, with a pro duction of 149,500 · Lons
The British share in the world's steel production promises this year to "exceed the share that fell to Great Britain in 1813, the record year, so far, for British industry.
These encouraging facts are dis closed by a comparison of the most recent Agures with those for pre- vious years. It is explained, in the article printed below, that the demand for steel is greater than ever, owing partly to the fact that steel is ouating other constructional materials British output may soon reach the new record of a million tons a month.
