32 HEAVY IMPORTATIONS OF STEEL. Imports of iron and steel have doubled in the last year, while exports of iron and steel are still falling off. The August import and export figures of the treasury bureau of statistics show that the importations of iron and steel manufactures for the eight months ending with August are $11,000,000 greater than in the corresponding months of last year, while the exportations of iron and steel manufactures are nearly $5,000,000 less than they were in the corresponding months of last year, and $21,000,000 less than in the corresponding months of 1900. In the single month of August the imports increased more than $2,000,000 over those of August, 1901, and at the present rate of gain, the total imports of iron and steel in the calendar year 1902 will exceed those of 1901 by $20,000,000. Practically every class of iron and steel shows an increase in imports during 1902 as compared with 1901. In the month of August, 1902, the importations of pig iron were 79,447 tons, against 4,301 tons in August of last year; scrap iron, 13,759 tons, against 4,363 tons; steel rails, $53,704 value in August 1902, against $537 in August of last year; ingots, blooms, slabs, billets, and bars of steel, 87,420,104 lbs. against 1,670,519 lbs. in August of last year; wire and articles made therefrom, 520,825 Ibs., against 358,750 lbs.; machinery, $343,472, against $171,755 in August of last year. Considering the figures of eight months end- ing with August, 1902, compared with eight months of 1901, the figures stand: pig iron, $4,676,649, against $886,373; ingots, billets, blooms and bars of steel, $4,783,432, against $863,315; and MARINE REVIEW AND MARINE RECORD.

(Patented ) Consists of several layers of corrugated asbestos paper, placed so that the corrugations run CONCENTRICALLY AROUND THE PIPE. Each channel, therefore, forms a closed loop, in which the air is ef- fectually imprisoned, instead of forming a long channel through which more or less circulation can take place, as in longitudinal air cells. These circumferential channels occur between each of the several layers, forming a covering of the highest insulating efficiency. We manufacture money saving insulating coverings to meet every requirement under all conditions, and should, therefore, be glad of an opportunity to take the question up with you in detail.
