The exports of coal from the United
States to South America and the Mediter-

shortly after the European war began,
have decreased. coal exporters and ship
pers said yesterday Little coal IL eX-
ported now. Practically all that is being
sent abroad is for the completion OF orders
received some time ago.
The reason given FOR the falling of in
the coal exports is the increased ship

pany said:
MANY vessels that were available a
month ago. such as tramp steamers and
vessels from neutral countries. are being
used as transports for troops and for
carrying food supplies. The coal shippers
cannot get vessels without having to pay
rates that would preclude all profit. The
competition for vessels has raised the
freight rates TO a prohbitive figure"
