HAccording to statisticalreport
in the Philad. North American, the
Quantity of anthracite coal shipped
from the different coal regions OF this
State. from the commencement of the
coal business (iu 1920 TO lS6l, is
l0i,132.l19 tons. In 1920, the whole
amount sent to market was 36J tons !;
in 1860, the year in which the trade
reached its highest figure, S,45O,053
tons were consumed, and in 1861, the
decrease from the previous year was
495 S4I tons. This decrease was no
doubt caused by the scarcity Of hands,
the coal regions having sent off whole
regiments to battle for The Union.
We frequently heard coal operators
state that it was impossible to prepare
the coal as fast as shippers wanted it.
