 The United States geological survey estimates the worlds pro- duction of coal in 1901 at S66. .165,- $40 short tons. The three great coal producing countries of the world are the United States, Great Britain and Germany. Austria Hungary comes fourth, France is fifth, Belgium sixth and Russia seventh. The last country, not withstanding its vast area, produces only about 6 per cent as much as the United States. Prior to 1899 Great Britain led among the worlds coal producers, but during 1899, 1900 and 1901 the United States has made such remarkable increases in coal production, due principally to the unprecedented ac- tivity in the iron and steel and in other metal trades, that it now stands far in the lead of all con- petitors, with a production in 1901 exceeding that of Great Britain by 47,965,93S short tons, or 19 per cent.
