Slate and Mantels Demand Reaches New High in 1880
Interviews with sewer pipe cement and firebrick firms show unprecedented activity across trades. Cement sales reach about 125,000 barrels this year, with similar volumes last year, up over a third from five-year averages. Fire brick demand soars for paving and mill use, two new furnaces at Edgar Thomson works strain supply, orders from Evanche Virginia and Philadelphia keep producers busy. Slate for roofing and mantels sees high demand, with prices steady, margins tight, and two quarries operating to meet orders. Expert notes suggest the season’s mantel and roofing activity surpasses prior years, forecasting a robust winter trade.
