The supply index is based on the American Iron & Steel Institute's published statistics of ingot production. The demand index, which anticipates the trend of actual consumption up to three months, is calculated on figures from steel's customers-automobiles, railroads, building, oil. Gross...

A few inches of this fast chart are required to record the drain on the power house for only 30 seconds. If the 30 seconds are taken when the station load...

Whether or not he will be able to preserve the present government it is impossible to predict, for French domestic politics change with mercurial rapidity, and to chart their course in advance hardly falls within the powers of mortal man.
