A number Of congressman wrote Chief
Moore relative to refusing me access to
weather records; others interviewed him.
Being close pressed he formulated Sc
rious charges saying that had published
forecasts as coming from Prof. Foster
of the Weather Bureau" The congress
men sent me Chief Moore's letters I
thanked them, informed them that the
charges were absolutely false and de-
manded an investigation. The congress

THE COAL TRADE

CHICAGO, Dec. 81 Weather condi-
tlons this week have worked a slight inn
provement in the coal trade in the Mis-
slssippi valley, resulting in an increased
demand for fuel and slightly firmer prices.
although there have been no advances in
any OF the more important domestic or.
steam fuels 1t will require a week or
more OF zero weather before any change
is to be expected in the price situation.
and then, owing to the very heavy pro-.
7duct1on OF coal in the leading bituminous
feids the upward trend will not be as
pronounced as 1t has been some previous
winters, notably in 1902 and 1903.
The severe cold weather was ushered
IN Tuesday afternoon with a Western
blizzard, which tied up transportation and
increased the consumption of fuel to the
maximum ma ;aa II point. "Wednesday and the re-
malnder Of the week the mercury in the
thermometer hovered close to the zero
point with the result that stocks of coal
IN dealers hands We're very considerably
reduced. A continuance of these weather
conditions the coming week will doubtless
cause some Scurrying around to secure
supplies from shippers, inasmuch as pro-
ing the holiday period.
Ihe change in the weather has also In
creased the demand for anthracite. Or
ders began to come in more freely fhe
middle of the week. showing that dealers
stocks were not very large and that thew
would require frequent replenishing to
keep them up to point where consumers
could be supplied promptly, if the weather
continues severe
In the anthracite trade the principal
feature in the West is the increasing
scarcity of chestnut coal. One large dock
interest, in reporting market conditions
this week, said that it had not only ex-
hausted its supply of all-rail nut coal,
but that it's dock stocks We're very low
The impression prevails in some quarters
that less chestnut coal was made by the
colfieries this year. in proportion to the
production of other sizes, than ordinarily
and that is the reason for the continued
shortage and the growing acuteness of the
situation with reference to this size

requirements and seed before another
crop. Taking everything into considera-
ton, 1t would appear that higher prices
are everywhere inevitable The demand
Tor flour continues large which has GER
talniy been great surprise to me, as
usually at this season of the year the de-
mand is very light. I see nothing in the
general situation at present to favor the
short side''
Carruthers. the Canadian exporter, says:
1t is the first time that 1 have ever
known the wheat market to be in a posi-
tl0n where it can be SO easily manipulate
ed This is due to the light stocks of
contract wheat. Wall street longs have
about 15,000,000 bushels of wheat bought
most of which they got around present
prices. There is no inducement to sell
now, as by sitting still they can easily get
10 cents bushel profit. The province of
ontario has shortage of IL, ,000, 900 bush
els OF wheat this year. MilIers there who
nave. never ground any Manitoba wheat
before are grinding it this year. Foreign
ers are also taking. the Manitoba wheat
and are bidding higher prices. So far as
know only 100000 -btlshels have been
bought by Minneapolis nlillers There is
one feature that l have noticed this year
--fhat Is our flour millers are selling, flour
to the New York interest who usually
supply the West Indies and think the
flour is going in that direction"

Reported by Dan Talmage's Sons Co.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31-As usual, at the
close of the year, with it's holiday at
fractions, or distractions, and the stock
taking period near at hand demand has
been of light proportions. Immediate
wants have been easily filed and some
light business has been done for ship
ment as "the old year lies a-dying."
Prices are well sustained on nearly every
style, and a scarcity of the lower me-
dunn grades has hardened values on such,
and the better grades of Japan have been
In good request account of relative cheap
ness.
Advices from the South note a dull
market on the Atlantic coast, for the
lower qualities, while higher styles are
11rm and quickly absorbed. At New Or
leans the market is rather quiet, season
ably So as Christmas and New Years
are especially high days and holidays.
In the interior--Southwest Louisiana
business is seriously interfered with by
lack OF transportation facilities. Large
sales (up to six figures) are reported for
export to Cuba, and while these transac-
tlons We're conSummated at low prices the
market has been favoTably influenced by
the relief from pressure of this large
amount. In Texas shipping is accom-

Some OF the dock companies report that
their shipments of chestnut have been
less as compared with other anthracite
tonnage and predict that before the end
of the winter the situation may become
somewhat serious as to available supplies
OF this grade. In addition to the contin-
ued heavy demand for nut COAL there is
also better Improvement in the move
ment of small egg in the West. This is
taken to Indicate that retailers stocks are
comparatively small and that they will be
IN the market very often to replenish
them in the future owing to this fact.
After the middle of January the anthra-
cite trade will be largely on hand to-
mouth basis, so far as the principal ship
ping companies are concerned, retailers
preferring to take in a carlot at a time
so that they will not carry over any stock
into the new mining year.
The movement of all-rail coal from the
collieries to the West continues to be
very slow, There is considerable coal out
that has been on the road for three or
four weeks so that the stoppage of work
at the collieries the past week will not
have much effect on present arrivals and
will be likely to show little on Western
supplies till the 10th to 18th of January.
II coal was coming through in better time
1t would have a different effect on the Sit
uation, but with so much still on the way
that was mined the early part of the
month arrivals ought to be steady and
fairly heavy during the next fortnight
