How Apparent Consumption.-Lime plants are widely distributed, and most of the lime manufactured is used in local market areas. ever, as some States produce a surplus and others are deficient in production, considerable quantities enter interstate trade. Furthermore, limes vary considerably in physical and chemical properties, and the peculiar needs of various industries commonly demand shipments from distant points. The principal States that "export" lime beyond their borders are Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Sales, shipments, and supplies of lime available for consumption in continental United States, by States, and groups of States are listed in the accompanying tables.
