JULY OUTPUT OF ANTHRACITE.
The anthracite coal production in July was 4,-
546,742 tons, or a total at least 200,000 tons greater
than that expected. The July production this
year was only 76.484 less than the output in July,
1904, but was lower than the same period of 1903
by 812,752 tons. The output for the seven months
of the year to date is 35,263,740 tons, against an
output last year in the same period of 33,880,434
tons, or a gain of 1.383,306 tons.
The state of the coal trade last month was such
that the stoppage of the mines in point of time
was equal to 25 per cent. Then again restriction
was necessary as the supply of small sizes was
largely in excess of the demand and the supply of
prepared sizes was equal to any demand that
might be made. The August output is expected
to show a further falling off and efforts have been
made to curtail the output of steam sizes. The
following table gives the anthracite output by
months for a series of years:
1905. 1904. 1903.
