Naval Stores Prices
Stand at Low Level
Nothing Doing" Is Dally Sign Posted
on Turpentine 5oard-Few
Trades in Rosin.

SAVANNAH, GA, April 12.-Con-
ditions in the naval stores world are
showing no improvement. Prices are
at standstill at an exceedingly low
level, and transactions reported are
so small as to be of no consequence.
There is absolutely no movement IN
turpentine. Some rosins are being
taken, but not in sufficient quantities
to make the market interesting.
The season has been erratic 70 a
most decided extent. This applies 70
prices as we'll as to demand. The
season has been neither profita bic
nor satisfactory so far as the pro-
ducers are concerned. Because Of the
very low prices prevailing. production
has been gradually restricted. The
fact that stumpage has shown
most radical upward trend, together
with the fact that labor costs consid--
erably more than in former times. are.
said to be in part responsible for the
unfavorable prices.
Exporters who are in a position 70.
know say that the consuming trade.
in Europe has turned to an extern
sive use OF substitutes for pure
American turpentine, Some Of them
have, It is true, been "weaned away"
from this inferior commodity when
lured by the relatively low prices now
maintaining. but the consumption as
a whole has been dwindling for some
years.
Nothing doing" is the sign that
goes on the turpentlne board at the
exchange every day. A few trades are
| usually recorded in rosins. but they
are so small as TO be of little value
in setting prices. The market is duh.
and there do not appear to be any
signs of an early resumption of activ-
| tiles Turpentine is selling below the
cost OF production. The prices On
rosins are fairly good, but hardly SUI

Coal Market Is Off;
Oversupply Blamed
Other Fields Getting Better Prices.
Fair Demand Indicates Healthy
Conditions in All Lines.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, April r.
Coal operators as a rule seem to be
well satisfied with present conditions
OF the market, considering the time
OF the year. As a matter of fact,
operators are the only ones to blame
If the market is off because of al
overproduction for the needs of the
trade. Reports indicate that April
and May production has been placed
and some operators report orders
taken for June and July delivery
Besides temporary conditions, there
are a number of factors that are
causing a general change in market
conditions which viii prove important
influences as time goes on. For in
stance, the consumption of coal, es-
pecially for domestic purposes is
largely increasing in small towns and
farm districts where timber is disap-
pearing. The expanding industrial
development of the South causes q
growing demand for railroad fuel and
for use in mills, factories and similar
institutions. strong export demand
Is rapidly developing. There are 9TH.
er minor influences which are causing
an increased demand for Goals of all
sizes.
Buyers of coal who are supplied
by the Kentucky Tennessee field are
really not paying as high for coal As
are those consumers supplied by 9TH
er fields in other parts of the coun-
try. Practically all other fields are
securing much larger advance over
last years prices than are operators
in this field, due to an overproduction
as above stated. The tariff revision
is undoubtedly causing manufacturers
in some lines to slow down with a
consequent decrease in the use of
coal, but the industrial conditions in
the South compare favorably with
other sections of the country. The
price of coal is a correct barometer
of rising or falling activity in indus
trial lines. and the fairly satisfacto-
~ demand for coal 1t the present
time indicates a correspondingly sat
isfactory condition in all industrial
lines
