Possibilities for coal Exports.

ThecommercIalp apersare nOtinguf late
the evidence that this country is in the
early stage of what is going to develop
an enormous coal export trade. This is
q subject In which West Virginia is es-
peclally interested. A great deal of In
terest has been taken in the large ship
ments Of coal from Newport News, Va,
recently, and 1t is interesting to the
people in this state that much of 1t is
the product of Virginia and West vir-
glnla.
"a very large amount OF coal has been
ehipped in British steamers, and this
tact has given rise to the report that
Great Britain is replenlshIng her supply
Of coal At her stations in every part of
the world IN view of possible troubles
over the Chinese matter. Whether that
is true or not, d Is fact stated by the
New York Journal of Commerce, and
will be verified by official reports, that
between the dates of July and August
21 fifteen British vessels have cleared
from Newport News with about $1,000
tons of steamer coal on board. bound for
ports all over the world; some of them
are British and others are ports fire.
quented by British ships"
The alleged war feature Of these Ship
ments is not credited as important, for
the reason that In the event Of war coal
In foreign ports would not be available
10 the British war vessels. The real Sig
nIacance is that vessels carrying the
Bri.ish nag are getting the ocean carry
ing trade which. but for the policy that
has been pursued by our country in fall
ing to encourage properly our own mer-
chant marine. might 60 to American
steamships.
In the matter of quality, the trans
Atlantic steamship companies testify
that the United states has as good
steaming coal as any country, and the
British navy also recognizes the fact.
The Journal pf Commerce pertinently
urges that, in view of the trouble In the
British mining industry, the opportunity
is ripe for the United States to do lit
tie advertising on this line. The coal
export trade of the country is not near
what it might be. There are great pos
sIbiIltIes for an extension Of It to che
South American countries, whore Brit
Ish vessels are already transporting coal
from our mines.
