The last British consular report from
Havre and the towns in that district
show that on the whole the importa-
ton of British coal has not been in
ludiously affected by the new tariff ON
the northern and western railways of
France, which was designed to increase
the consumption of French coal. The
American consul at Chemnitz reports
that, in spite of freight reductions all
over Germany and the other efforts to
encourage the consumption of German
coal, the trade in British coal is still
very large. In 1895 it amounted to
100000 tons, and it increased last
year. Even in Berlin, while the con.
sumption increased by 40 per cent, the
increase in German coal consumed
there was on II per cent, the rest be-
ing British. England's coal. the AM
erican consul adds, is cheaper and
better than that Of continental couu-
tries.
