This represents an increase of 36 tons 6 cwt. 2 qrs. over the figures for January of last year. For the seven months of the present season the output is 1493 tons 14 cwt. 2 qrs. 10 lb as compared with 1426 tons 19 cwt. 2 qrs. 19 lb for the corresponding period of the previous season, or an increase of 66 tons 14 cwt. 3 qrs. 19 lb or 4.68 percent.
