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.
