LITTLE PEAT FUEL IN USE
United States Is Rich in the Material
But 1t Does Not Seem to Be
in Demand.

While the United States is the rich
est country in the world in deposits OF
peat, little active work is being done
in mining or digging it, and SO far as
is known very few of the peat fuel
plants established have gone beyond
the experimental stage, and many of
them have never been equipped with
essential machinery. Reports from all
known peat fuel plans in the United
States, according to Charles A. Davis
in his Mineral Resources in 1912, show
that with one exception they were idle
during the summer that year.
The only plant reporting productions
made are dried cylindrical peat blocks
which, when thoroughly dry, were
about six inches long and two inches
in diameter, dense and hard and stood
handling well. The output of peat fuel
was reported as about 1900 tons, val
ued at s4,450. All of this peat was
sold.
The production of peat for fertilizer
was, so far as reported in 1912, 41,080
short tons, of which about 5000 tons
was reported as sold air dried, that is,
not dried by artificial heat. The value
of this material at the selling prices
reported was 6,522.-Coal Age.

A Curious Transact ion.

II was reported last week that 100000
Of Japanese bonds had been sold In a block
and. ouriously enough. that tho bonds
had been bought for London account be-
ing shipped abroad Immediately. There
ara several issues of Japanese Govern
m"nt bonds listed on the exchange but
the market In them has always been an
extrememly narrow one Obviously the
transaction reported was a special one.
but 1t is interesting for all that.
One suggestion is that the trade repre-
scented transfer from New York to
London for convenience rather than any
real change OF ownership Another Is
that the purchase was made by parties
interested In protecting the market In
japanese Government securities from pos
sible attack.
A false impression of the credit OF
the Japanese nation might be created.
Tor instance. II there should he an offer
ing of tire bonds here At a critical moment
such as when a new fo,a ion OF bonds
was being attempted.
