ANTHRACITE "a LUXURY

Anthracite coal was at one time an
important factor in blast-furnace prac-
tice,5 but its Use in that line Of indus
try has now almost entirely ceased,
according to E. w. Parker, of the
United States Geological Survey, as it.
has been supplanted by coke made
from bituminous coal The principal
demand for anthracite will be in the
future, as it has been in the more re-
cent past, restricted largely to domes-
tic trade, for which such sizes as fur
mace, egg, stove, and chestnut are re-
lGuired. The breaking down of the
lump coal, which was formerly a mar
ketable product, for the preparation
of the domestic sizes results in a
much larger proportion Of the small
or undesirable sizes, all Of which are
sold at less than the cost Of produc-
ton. All the profits on the mining
operations must be obtained from the
prepared domestic sizes, for the reve-
nue. obtained from the smaller sizes,
which are sold largely in composition
with bituminous coal for Streaming
purposes, serves only to reduce the
cost Of the domestic sizes. The condi
tions under which the anthracite
mines are operated, the greater depth
to which the workings are carried,
1.-THE consequent increased expense d
mining, and the increasing cost Of la
Dor all contribute to make anthracite
[fuel more and more q luxury
During recent years the anthracite
operators have adopted the policy Of
making an allowance Of so cents pei

coal purchased III April Of each year
with an advance Of 10 cents per tor
q for each succeeding month until thu
