Excerpt from First Quarterly Report of the National Association of Bar Iron Manufacturers: Showing the Production and Consumption of Pig and Wrought Iron Throughout the World, for 1871 The following review of the Production and Consumption of Raw and Manufactured Iron throughout the World, the Comparative Condition and Wages of Labor, &c., &c., , was not originally prepared with a view to publication, and is necessarily imperfect in many particulars. The Report was read before the National Association of Bar Iron Manufacturers, at the First Quarterly Meeting of that body, held at Philadelphia, January 10th and 11th, 1872, and was prepared by the Secretary from such statistics as he could collate during the first three months of his official duty, before any regular system of returns could be organized, and without any reliable data upon which to base previous production. The figures given are in the main believed to be correct, and consist rather of a grouping of fragmentary reports hitherto published in various localities, than in any general compendium.
