SOFT COAL FOR EUROPE.
Bright Prospects for a Large Export
Trade.

PHILADELPHIA, June PA great fu-
ture is Gawning for the American foreign
export coal trade, according to c. F. Hen
derson, Second Vice President of the Pkfla-
delphia and Reading Company, and gen
eral manager of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company. The
movement has been slow but sure" said
Mr.. Henderson today. but the time is
near at hand when the agents of Ameri-
can bituminous coal will control the mar
kets Of all the big Mediterranean ports
and obtain such footing in Asia that
they viii never again be dispossessed.
The price OF the home product and fac!li-
ties Of shipment have long been presented
by our Consuls. and trial shipments have
proved American bitumin0us coal TO be
king of the worlds supply for steamship
purposes II is, therefore, growing in
favor. and orders are pouring into this
country from the sources namCd sufficient
to indicate that we may expect the de-
msnd Of the future to be simply enor-
nous.
But as we take on new customers so
We take on new risks. and before we can
supply the foreign markets in proportion
TO the eyer-increasing demands the Ques-
tion Of the credit Of the foreign houses has
got to be settled first. Though the COnSHls
are active in pointing out the opportunities
for trade and the individual 10 trade with,
they DO not make any pretence of guaran-
teeing the acceptance and payment Of
drafts made upon the prospective custom
ers, and there comes the rub.
But this credit question is gradually
resolving itself into concrete form at the
leading ports. and the stability Of the for
eign houses is becoming established to
the satisfaction of the American exporter.
This country is not selling coal for its
health, 5dt for profit. and before profit
comes payment England which has al
ways controlled the Mediterranean coal
market, has had her agents located at
the different ports for half a century. We
are only beginning 10 awaken to a similar
necessity. and so far the results have eX-
ceeded all expectations
The low price Oh the English product
has heretofore given il an advantage, but
its recent advances Indicate a permanent
rise and an equalization in competition
that is being rapidly taken advantage OF
by American exporters.

shipments Of coal from Cardin, England,
