WORLDS COAL.
Estimated Production Last Year
Was see, I85,54O short Tons.

Was sec, 165,54O short Tons.
Washington, Oct. 16.-The United
States geological survey estimates the
worlds production of coal in 1901 as
S66,165,540 short TONS, The three great
coal producing countries of the world
are the United States. Great Britain
and Germany, whose output combined
aggregates 81. 81 per cent. of the worlds
total. Austria Hungary comes fourth,
France fifth, Belgium sixth and Rus
STA seventh.
Prior to 1899 Great Britain led among
the worlds coal producers, but during
1899, 1900 and 1901, the United States
has made such remarkable increase
in coal production, due principally to
the unprecedented activity in the iron
and steel and in other metal trades,
That 1t now stands far in the lead of
all competitors, with a production in
1901 exceeding that of Great Britain
by 47,965,93S short tons, or 10 per cent.
