Production of Coke in the Va

Alabama Comes Next, then West vir-
ginia with Virginia Ranking Next.
An Increase Of Over Sixteen
Per Gent in Output

The production OF coke In the United
now In press, prepared By Mr.. e. w.
Parker, for the geological survey, exceed
ed that of any year in our history. The
product which included the output from
retort or by-produck ovens, amounted last
year to 25,40l,730 short tons, as compared
with u ,795,SS3 short tons in 1901. and with
~. ,34S tons In 1900 The increase in 1902
over 1901 amounted to 3,Go5,S47 short tons,
or 16.5 per cent, and this Increase would
have been much larger had tho Transport
tation facilities been commensurate with
the demand for coke ana with the pro-
ductive capacity Of the ovens.
HIGHEST PRICE.
Tho unprecedented production Of coke
In 1902 was accompanied by an Increase
of value which was even more worthy
OF note. The average price per ton at
the ovens was the highest recorded in n
period OF twenty-three years. and the to-
tai value reached the high figure Of $63.-
o29,167. an increase over the preceding year
or, SIS, S93,244, or 42.5 per cent. The value
of the coal used in the manufacture OF
CCRe III lVl exceeded that OF lSl Dy
s7.e22563. from which 1t appears that the
value of the coke product increased s1o.-
97o.6Sl over and above the increased value
or the coal used In its production. In
1901 the highest price obtained for Con-
rnellsville furnace coke was A.25, which
was paid In March and April OF that year.
In September and October Of 1902 while
contract coke was nominally quoted at 50
per ton, consumers We're paying from
SO to So per ton for prompt delivery,
and as much as $l5 per ton was reported.
During 1902 there were Sc. oS9 coke ovens
In existence In the United States, as com
pared with 63,95l ovens in 1901. or these
eo,0G9 ovens 67iG were active and pro-
duced an average of 37s.4 tons per oven.

as to the extent of the personal pos
sessions of the decedent, the proceed
ing having been instigated by the Mo
line Trust & Savings bank, admins
traitor of the estate, which is acting
for the widow, Nina Stengel. Shortly
before his death Mr.. Stengel drew a
will leaving all his belongings to his
mother, but when the instrument was
presented for probate the testimony
of witnesses thereof was held INSULT
cient, and the court therefore ruled
the will invalid. The property ac-
cOrdingly reverted to the widow, and
she is now seeking to ascertain what
it amounts to. 1t consists chiefly in
Alaska mining claims, jewelry and
household effects. The matter has
not yet been finally disposed of by the
court.
