EXPORTS OF AMERICAN COAL

Exports of coal from the United
States during the year 1900 are likely
to reach $2o,o00,o0o in value Against
SIC, 0,O0o, 600 in 1896 and $6,o00,0oo In
1890.
The figures OF the treasury bureau
of statistics show that the exports OF
coal from the United States during
the seven months ending with July,
1900, are so per cent. In excess OF
those during the corresponding
months of 1898.
Experiments with American coal
which the Europeans have made In
the last two or three years seem to
have proved successful, as the ex-
ports to Europe, which in the seven
months of 1898 amounted to nearly
4,5O7 tons, were in the corresponding
months of 1900 27s,572 tons. OF this,
1877 tons went to the United Kingdom.
4,O2s tons to Germany, 77,4o7 tons to
France and 1e6,950 to other European
countries.
In the seven months ending with
July, 1898, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, the exports of coal from ths
United States were 2,s75,451 tons; In
the same months of 1899 they were
1905 ,o52 tons, and In the correspond.
ing months of 1900 they were 4,601, ,T55
tons. During the period from 1890 to
1900 the expectation Of coal from the
United States has quadrupled, but
the principal growth has been in the
years 1898, 1899 and 1900.
