The production of clinker (unground cement) also
established a record for August, the output being in excess
of 37,200,000 sacks. Clinker production for the eight
months amounted to slightly less than 252,000,000 sacks.
These statistics, prepared by Ernest F. Burchard, of
United States Geological Survey, are based mainly on
reports from producers of Portland cement and in part on
estimated data. They indicate that the present demand
for cement is greater than might be expected in comparison
with that for other mineral commodities.
The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
Department of Commerce, reports that imports of hydraulic
cement in July amounted to 18,816 sacks, valued at
$9,562; the total for the first seven months of 1921 was
197,056 sacks, valued at $184,577. The exports of
hydraulic cement in July were 324,364 sacks, valued at
$293,960; the total exports for the seven-month period
were 3,057,732 sacks. valued at $2.958.280.
