THE <strong>COAL</strong> TRADE BULLETIN. 43 THE PULSE OF THE MARKETS. »»»»»f»»»f»»»»»»» iifiimi With the exception of Chicago and the lower lake region which have not held their own during the last fortnight, the condition of the general coal market continues to show improvement. In Chicago the teamsters' strike has materially affected the sales of both hard and soft coal but the dealers in the latter are feeling the effects of the situation to the greatest extent. The general western situation is practically unchanged with the demand fair. In the southwest, coal freight rate reductions have helped to some extent and while there is no particular boom conditions are fair. In the extreme south the market is easy with conditions about normal. The industrial section of the south is still pushing production and consuming all that is produced. Conditions in this market were never better and it continues to provide an outlet for all the surplus coal and coke for which southern West Virginia shippers are able to obtain transportation. In the latter field production is limited only by shipping facilities. The Pittsburgh field is at the maximum point of production, with every mine in the district running to its full capacity. The May rise in the Ohio was of sufficient duration to enable river shippers to get back with enough empty craft to replace those which carried out some 6,000,000 bushels of coal and the river mines are sure of a steady summer's work. The Pittsburgh Coal Co. has reopened a number of mines that had been closed indefinitely and in others it has increased the output to such an extent that on the whole some 7.000 or 8,000 miners have been benefited either by getting back to work or by increased earnings. Price quotations are unchanged, run-ofmine being held at $1.00 to $1.05. Renewed activity is becoming apparent in the coke market and good quality furnace is in good demand despite the usual summer shut-downs for repairs, etc. Low-grade furnace coke continues to remain a drug on the market. Washeries are being established at several plants in the lower Connellsville region in the hope of improving the product and there is some talk of a consolidation of producers of high sulphur coke. There is practically no buying of coke for future delivery and a merry scramble to get under cover is promised when the shorts begin to come in. Foundry coke is in good demand with prices quoted at $2.65 to $2.80. No. 1 furnace commands $1.S0 to $1.90. The eastern bituminous market is in a somewhat better condition. There is an increased demand and stocks at tidewater points are down to normal. Prices are maintained fairly well. Indications tend to show that consumers are willing to take on coal now that it is easy to get, and by so doing to secure advantages. Production at mines is proportionately curtailed at this moment, while the increased demand has caused a slight shortage of coal at tidewater in some individual cases. Trade in the far east shows an increased demand. Coal has accumulated at some of the ports, but stocks are now being disposed of. Trade along the sound is quiet, consumers apparently working with what coal they have on hand. New York harbor business shows a better tone, while prices remain at the same level. Transportation from mines to tide is good, although showing slight irregularities. Car supply is up to demand, provided that the receivers take prompt care of their cargoes upon arrival. Vessels in the coastwise trade are scarce and in demand. The anthracite market is moving with nearly its customary activity although not quite so briskly as in the first months of last year. April orders have all been filled and already some shippers are refusing to guarantee deliveries before the end of the present month, and at May prices, thus indicating that their orders on hand will absorb all of their immediate supply. The all-rail trade is growing beyond expectations in spite of insufficient supply of rolling stock and inadequate terminal facilities. As a result of congestion at junction points, arising from this condition, the line trade suffers greater delays than the tide-water deliveries, while for the same reason, production is being limited by the diminution of its car supply at the mines. Hull, Blyth & Co.. of London and Cardiff, report the market quiet and unchanged with quotations as follows: Best Welsh steam coal, $3.42; seconds, $3.30; thirds, $3.06; dry coals, $3.18; best Monmouthshire, $3.06; seconds, $2.94; best small steam coal. $2.28: seconds, $2.16; other sorts. $2.04. Shortage of coal in the far East, due to the great demand for it by the Russian and Japanese fleets, is causing considerable inconvenience to merchant steamers. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railway, has made an urgent request to the navy department for permission to purchase from the American naval supply in the Orient enough to accommodate the steamship Minnesota on her return trip to the Pacific coast. Mr. Hill stated he had found it impossible to get the coal in the east.
