mon:
The principal feature OF interest IN this depart
ment Is the refusal of an offer from Great Britain

offer has Tended 10 impaIt additional strength to
the market, and 1t Is ruinored that the price OF

Receipts OF coal have again been enormous,
footing up for the week 1920 tons from
coast collieries and 43 GOO tons from foreign
sources. A local circular thus gives the sit-
uatOn:
The arrivals Of the week have been excessive
and have come to hand at a most lnopportune
time. What f-roOm and Yard.Toonl are both being
taxed 10 their utmost capacity. and consumers
are The benehe ed parties as concessions are
now being made int may not offer themselves
| Tor long lime to come. The same parties are
making sales at prices for immediate delivery
who are Offering marked advance Tor the same
Goals deliver ibree months hence which clearly
demonstrates MAT the lowest prices of the wear
are now ruling. Material losses are being made
on all caigOes now arriving unsOid, as lie lack
OF yard-room forces sales. A cold snap accom-.
panied with rain, would materially Increase con
sumption; THIS Is about the lime to ,.xpect IL,
and 1t Is l0ngingy looked for by those In Tie
gradually advancing, hence very little business
Is being done In futures, as asking prices are
Dlgner. by actual computation, more coal has
arrived from Australia within the mast ten DAYS
IMAM can possibly arrive here within the next
Sixty TO seventy days from the same source.
Inc foreign imports at San Francisco dur
Ing the first ten months of the wear we're
valued at S44. $50 600 against SIS. GIL 900 for
the same time in 1880.
