Iron industry gains in New England market despite higher freight
Southern iron shows a stronger foothold in New England over the past year with freight costs of 3 to 4 dollars per ton. Furnaces in blast rise from 181 to 260, weekly output climbs to about 90,000 tons, and finished iron shows a parallel increase. Production limits on finished materials were raised after most of the initial quota was sold or contracted. Across the Union, demand for pig iron, bar iron and steel rail grows as railroads and manufacturers expand activity, with public building bills before Congress and Hearnes and Dawes adding site proposals for Worcester and Springfield.
