AMERICAS COAL OUTPUT
The United States the World s
Greatest Proiucer
A Significant speech by the Prcsi-
dent of the Halifax Chamber of
Commerce. Movement to Import
Fuel to EngIand-A Comparison
of Prices - Treasury Statistics.

The fact that the United States has be-
come the worlds greatest producer of coal
and at a cost for production far below that
of any other part of the world, is attract
ing great attention in all parts of the
world, and especially with British pro-
dueers and consumers OF coal. The British

has just reached the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics. quotes the president of the Hall
fax Chamber of Commerce as saying in his
annual address 10 that body. January "a,

most extraordinary, so far as industry was
concerned. that has been witnessed. There
were dangers. however, ahead of their
commerce, and one was the export of ma
chinery. In 1888 the export of textile ma
chinery from the United Kingdom amount
ed TO .e6.62s 900. The bulk of that went to
Russia Germany and India. but many
other countries also took large quantity.
The worst of ii was that these big exports
were going 10 countries where labor was
cheaper than in England. and where more
facilities were given by the Government
W the ACCOMPANIES, Iut HiouuS-
ton and distribution of goods.
Another great danger was the coal
question. The output of the United States
was larger than that of the United King
DOM and coal could be bought in America
at the pit mouth at As Cd per ton, as
against 5s 10l2d paid in Great Britain. The
result of this was that people in LaEca-
shire were talking about bringing coal
from America TO Lancashire. What they
had TO think about as manufacturers was
that they would have TO have cheaper mo-
tive power. Either water or electricity
would have TO be employed within short
time in very different fashion from that
in which it was al present, and at prices,
of course, that would pay for the using of
it

ton of coal in the United States and in

ing 1899, the frat year in which the Uni

in the effort to- stop the decline. Mr.
heene's attitude in the stock market last
year has made him extremely unpopular in
good many quarters.
President Billings, of the Peoples Gas
Company, on Saturday took occasion to dis
pute and deny the many rumors that have
recently been circulated by the professional
clique that is pounding that company's
stock. Mr.. Billings stated positively that
there is no truth in the story that the Og-
den Gas Company. Peoples Gas rival, has
been purchased by Standard Oil interests,
and also declared that there is no new gas
company organizing TO fight the Peoples.
But he did admit that there is chance
of the company losing the contract for the
city lighting, because of scheme to have
Chicago extend its electric light plant so
as to light the whole city. The Peoples
Gas contingent say that they. would regard
the loss of the Chicago contract as posi-
tive bull argument because they have
never made any money on it. because the
city is not prompt in its payments, and for
various other reasons; hut nevertheless
such a loss would not be bull argument
AT least Wall Street will not think 1t one.
The coal stocks have been the strong
features of the market. The Delaware

Nearly 50 900, 900 was paid into the New
York subtreasury on Saturday by the
Southern Pacific Company. for the Central
Pacific Railway. in liquidation of a note
of the latter company that does not fall due
until August 1901. The actual payment
was 50, 946, 194.79. Checks for this amount
were turned into the subtreasury. and their
receipt gave that institution credit bal
ance of s., 346,7 40 at the clearing house.
The note which was taken up is the fifth
of a series of twenty. bearing interest of
3 per cent, given to the Government when
the Central Pacific settlement was effected.
1t was secured by $4,000 Central Pa
cfic per cent bonds, which We're Satur-
day turned over to the Southern Pacific
Company.
In Wall Street it was said that the reason
for the anticipation of the payment is that
the Central Pacific bonds securing the note
can be handled with more profit 10 he
Southern Pacific than would be gained by
allowing the obligation to run along until
due.
