Bone Coal Tests.

Rather striking results were obtain.
ed from tests OF West Virginia "bone"
coal made under the supervision Of
Mr.. E. w. Parker In the first test
the bone" analysed 43.74 per cent.
ash with 1926 per cent. fixed carbon
and S.S3 per cent volatile matter. The
result of this test showed that the
amount of coal per electrical horse
power per hour developed at the
switchboard was 1876 pounds. This is
a little more coal per horsepower than
has been shown by the average Him
OILS and Indiana coal required for eiec-
trical horsepower hour when the coal
is used under steam boilers.
A second test showed consumption
Of 1.4S pounds Of fuel per electrical
horsepower hour which is as good as
was obtained by the test Illinois or In.
diana coal required for an equivalent
amount of work when used under boil
ers.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1907-05-25
Results Of Tests.

The results show that for the produc
ton of one electrical horsepower hour
in the produced gas plant there were
required 1.57. 1.29, 1.46, LIS, lao and
1.50 pounds of dry coal respectively
while to produce the same result in
the steam plant it took $50, 1852, 3.55,
1858. 3.46 and 1853 pounds of dry fuel
respectively. These tests show gains
in efficiency over the fuel used IN the
steam plant Of 14s, ISL. 143, 104, 147
and 135 per cent. respectively. Still
another test showed but 1903 pounds
of dry coal needed in the gas produc-
er, while 3.45 pounds were necessary
to produce same results In steam
plant. r,s+si-A 49,, ~
Such results indicate a revolution
in the production OF power. Gas pro-
ducers and gas engines, it is declared
by the geological survey experts, are
destined soon to replace to large
extent the ordinary steam engine.
The fuel testing station has already
tested samples of coal from 26 mines
in the state, ranging from one to
three carloads from each mine. Alto
gether Sc steam tests were made, 80
coking tests, ~ gas producer tests,
and but nine washing tests. This lat
ter indicates the almost unprecedent-
ed cleanliness OF the coal from West
Virginia.

STOCK MARKET
Jap Question Causes a Decline That
Could Not Be Thrown
Off

NEW YORK, June IA mood of
depression crept over the stock mar
ket again today. with efforts to throw
off proved unavailing. The trading
was largely in professional hands.
The consequence was a rather erratic
movement of prices and abrupt fluc-
tuations on comparatively small deal
ings. The opportunist policy of the
traders led to sudden shiftings of DO
sitions in the market. There was
the same disposition to attribute the
recurrent weakness to the important
failure in the contracting business
announced In the morning, although
the effects of this were slight, so far
as surface indications went. The de-
cline at the opening was attributed
to this cause. but did not go far be-
fore effective support was forthcom-
ing. A more influential factor In
the weakness of the market was the
bad impression caused by the acerb-
ity of public discussion in Japan Of
relations with the United States. ia
pan rs declined 3-8 @ 1-2c In this
market. but the other issues were I'M
affected here, although some heavi.
ness was reported in Japan issues
abroad.
The money market here grew per-
ceptibly stronger. The periodical
disbursements to be made on July /,
this year, are unusually heavy. The
question remains an open one also
of what means will be employed for
the redemption of the government
bonds maturing on July 1, whether
by drafts on government deposits In
banks or by the preliminary with
drawal of the funds from the banks
by transfer to the sub-treasuries.
The action of the wheat market
confirmed yesterdays views of the
government crop report, that 1t re-
flected extreme approximations which
have been held here regarding the
crops. But stocks failed to benefit
from this. There was a momentary
rise in prices when it was announced
that Governor Hughes had vetoed the
two-cent fare bill, but the drop from
that point was abrupt, with the dis
semination of the rumors of trouble
with Japan.
Total sales, par value, $4,000.
U. s. bonds were unchanged on
