France is obliged to buy 10 million tons of coal from her neighbors. Being quite rich in iron, she manu- factures two million tons of castings, 90,000 tons of iron and 500,000 tons of steel, particularly in the department of Meurthe- et- Moselle.
Owing to the variety of strata, she is rich in quarries of every variety, granites, basalts, por- 136 FRANCE.
