cwt ,are required per hour in order to heat
the boilers for stationary and marine engines,

absorbs 100000 cwt., and that Of other met
ais $4,000 cwt. per hour. The average hour
ly consumption of household coal is reckoned
at 200, 900 cwt., but the total production is
estimated at 100000 cwt. to $4,000, 900
cwt per diem, so there is a considerable mar
