Pittsburg Pa, Feb 1.-THE Pittsburg
coal operators are making an effort to
form a commission by which they can
put coal in southern ports in sompeti-
ton with the new and rapidly developing
southern coal fields. The operators of
West Virginia VIII be invited to join.
Owing to the expense and risk Of towage
the Pennsylvania operators find it i'm
possible to successfully compete with the
southern mines. Tor this reason the
shipment Of coal to New Orleans during
the last rise was not as great as usual.
1t is said that since the development Of
the Alabama coal fields the southern
railroads have offered those operators
big Inducements TO deliver their coal
in the New Orleans market. A conser-
vative estimate places the average de-
crease ia southern shipments during III"
last few years at about 100000 bushels
a year.
