World Iron Production Sees US Lead Amid Growth
In 1905 total iron output reached 53,007,965 tons with the United States producing 22,992,880 tons. 1906 data are incomplete but US output rose substantially and rivals also grew. The top producers were the United States, Germany, England, and France, with Canada rapidly advancing and doubling its 1904 yield.
