State Shows Increase.

The production of bituminous coal
and anthracite in 1915 is estimated by
c. e. Lesher, of the United States geo
logical survey, at 51S,00O000 short
tons, an increase over 1914 of less
than one per cent. Bituminous produc-
tion increased about 6,5O0,00O tons,
and the output of anthracite was less
than in 1914 by about 100000 short
tons. In the east. on account of the
steady demand for export coal and for
coke for steel making and the general
improvement in business, the output
OF bituminous coal in Pennsylvania
West Virginia, Kentucky and Alabama
increased to a gratifying extent. Ohio
and Virginia also had increases, but
Georgia, Maryland and Tennessee re-
corded decreases. In Pennsylvania
the increase was mainly In the coking
districts, and for the state II is esti-
