Ii al depends on the dealers stocks. 1t must
be: admitted that while the recent cold wealth
err has cut down the receipts and otherwise
tended to improve the tone of the market the
receipt of a large line from Puget Sound ye=-
terday has just the opposite effect. hence the
general situation remains practically. un-
changed. The demand is reported better. how

RECEIPTs OF COAL. CoKE. AND PIG IRON
AID PRODUCTION OF OIL LAST YEAR.
The anrusl review OF J. ". Harrison says:
The consumption OF coal last year shows
shrinksge Of 3S9. ls7 tons below that OF 1901,
as can o. seen by referring 10 the figures be
low This is no Indication Of the amount
Of fuel called for as there has been daily
- ersge OF 5000 barrels OF oil drawn from
Kern County alone during the year which Is
actually less than one half the total amount.
or Oh sent market from The entire State.
with this inlnerse output Tor the year. it is
singular that so much coal has been called
into reauisition Never in the history OF Cali
forniz have we consumed for steam and do
nlestic sIurDosess over 4 100000 tons. whereas
this year fuel requirements foot up over
a. ice this amount There cannot be more
irfsllible index Of prosperity than fuel hence
1902 must be chronicled as The banner year
--Factor1es Of all characters are running
ffili time and the ma ior portion or them are
nov il arrears with their orders. This sgn-
fes an immense consumption Of crude mater
ials Of every denomination. number of which
shars simply because our higf-cost fuel pre-
cluded home manufacture Thousands Of skill
ed and ordinary labOrers now find continuous
empIoyment who would be seeking positions
81 unaided by low priced fuel Everything
that moves. or is made. emanates from fuel
The cheaper fuel is. the greater the latitude
controlled for an outlet for the products or
or metals and our woods. which are mani
fold To meet the oil competition. the prices
dts are hnessed very closely For house
hold uses coal values have been well sustained
and will remain so until some safe method
u.ay be devised where oil can declare itself
substitute.
For the moment coal producers feel con 90
ndent or maintaining their position, hence
difference Of 81 90 10 81 per ton exists be-
tween FIRST class steam and domestic grades
Tr is singular that the imports of Australian
ard English show decrease this
yvsflstanding they are handicapped with sixty
seven cents per ton duty and have fuel oil
% compete with.
THE various sources from which have
i.rlKcd our coal supply are folloWs:
