CEMENT 



The cement business last year was of large volume, but in the 

 early months was conducted on a small margin of profit to the 

 manufacturer. Prices showed, however, an upward trend with the 

 progress of the season, the first really sustained improvement in 

 the market that had taken place for some time. This lent an 

 encouraging aspect to the year's record as compared with that of 

 1910 or 191 1, and appeared to indicate that the critical period which 

 tested the financial and technical equipment of the plants as never 

 before had been passed.
