burg MARKET.
Pittsbgrg Post.
1t was the pretty generally expressed
opinion among coal dealers and'opera-
tors here yesterday that the removal OF
the tariff % coal, as suggested la the
new tariff schedule, would not pre1udl-
eially affect the trade. Captain l. n.
Bunton, of the well-known firm OF
Joseph Walton & Co., said:
"The removal of the tariff on coal IS
not a serious matter with US locally. l
cannot see that it will be a benefit or
a detrlment. The importation Of coal
has never amounted to anything, and
cannot see with the tariff OF, what ell
feet it has on the existing condition OF
things. The general consumption OF
American coal initiates against the In
PRODUCTION Of foreign fuel. II stands to
reason that Europe cannot send her
fuel product over here in competition
with our home production. The only
time any appreciable effect was felt
was when ballast coal was brought
here. The transportation was OF
course nothing, and the fuel could be
sold at New Orleans at a cheaper rate
than we could furnish it at.
Under the proposed tariff cut Cana
dian coal will be introduced into some
OF the eastern markets, and it is posi-
bic those VINO now control those mar
kets may be forced to move. The in
land market is the great trade, and
such a course might bring us some COM
petition, especially from the West Vir-
GINA fields, which are now supplying
some eastern markets. But l doubt
whether any legislation that has any
thing to do with the coal tariff can do
much either way. What we want is
legislation that will place US in better
shape to compete with West Virginia
coal operators.
Captain w. H. Mckinley said. "We
have absolutely nothing TO fear from a
reduced tariff on coal. Why, where can
coal be brought from 10 be placed
10 competition with Us? There are said
to be valuable coal tracts in Nova SEQ
tia, but il will be difficult for them to
introduce that product into the interior
for less money than can be got at
present"
Captain w. Z. Rogers, OF the Tide
Coal Company, said be had not studied
the matter closely, as he saw no differ
ence in the condition OF affairs before
and after the tariff on coal was made.
He thought the effect would depend
much on the freight rates from foreign
points. He thought the Pittsburg fields
were sufficiently protected by the ex-
cellency of their product as to fear
nothing from abroad.
