WELSH COAL MINES
DEMAND TIMBER
Consul Johnson 7 hin k S
Material Wasted Here
Could Be Exported.

In a report to the Bureau Of Statistics
Of the Department Of Commerce and
Labor. there is an interesting discus
sion Of ''pitwOOd" bt Consul ]. II. John
son, at Swansea. he says that wood
for this purpose is in great demand in
Wales and thinks that the call for mine
timber should attract American lum-
Der manufacturers who are now, ne
for pitwOC-.
Among the many imports that come
TO the port OF Swansea" the consul
states, timber forms an important ar
ticle of the merchandise. During the
preceding year over 10000 tons we're
imported here and the quantity during
this year already amounts to consid-
erdbly over 5000 tons. Although a great
quantity of the timber Is imported Tor
building purposes, the bulk may be de-
scribed as pitwood for use in local
coal mines
France, Norway, Sweden, and Spain
are the largest suppliers, the first three
countries contributing about equal guam
titles.
The following are the average prices.
free on rail at dock, Swansea: French
and Spanish wood, about s. per ton
Norwegian and Swedish wood, although
sold by measurement, would work out
about 81 per ton more. This is stripped
of bark and consequently lighter tim
Der.
'I have been prompted TO report on
this matter by the extraordinary pres
ent demand here for the timber de-
scrbed and the current prices are cas-
lily 30 per cent more than the average
prices mentioned above. 1 know that
thousands Of tons of suitable timber are
practically thrown away in our country,
and the present prices here would war
rant American exporters OF timber,
such as oak, larch, and fir of all kinds,
to make the usual business inquiries
and probably ind a regular and good
market in Welsh ports"
