In that year nearly everymineral industry showed an increase, and hence an in-creased total was evident. But the fact that the increasewas so very large was due to rather exceptional conditionsin a few important industries, and it could not reasonablybe expected that a similar combination of circumstanceswould result in even a larger total value for 1888. Never-theless the unprecedented stimulus given to the productionof copper by an artificial price increased the total valueof that product neariy $13,000,000, or neariy enough tooffset the decline in the total value of pig iron. The otherimportant factors in the increase were coal and the otherfuels which (oUowed the increased quantity ot metals. 312 THE RAILROAD AND (July, 1889.
