Coal Scars to Dizzy Heights
In Italy And Other War Lands

ROME, Italy, Jan. 2S.-Coal is $40 a
ton in Italy, and continues to soar. It
went up $40 ton in one week. This
has become a serious, and might be-
come a decisive, war factor, so far as
Italy is concerned, for coal is the fun
damental element of Italian industry
and commerce., moving the railways,
running the factories, and keeping up
such public utilities as electric light
and power plants, gas and water
works, street railways and tramways,
as well as for household heating and
cooking, not only in Rome but all over
Italy.
Such a phenomenal rise in the price
bf coal has never before been known.
To Italy the shortage is serious
chiefly because Italy possesses no coal
mines Of her own at home or in the
African colonies, so there is no out
look for getting a supply except from
abroad and foreign supply is in the
hands of the enemy or taxed to it's ut
most capacity for its own needs. While
there was no war Italy needed no
coal fields of her own, as the French
and Belgian fields were near at hand
But now the French coal fields of Pas
de Calais, and those of Belgium, have
passed into control of Germany, the
ally of Austria, with whom Italy is at
var. Similarly Austria stretches as a
barrier between the Polish coal fields
and Italy. So that about the only sup
Ply left for Italy is England, where
the Welsh coal fields are hardly equal
to the demand of England's own fac
tories and navy, and her nearby ally,
France, without also supplying Italy's
needs. And so coal is mounting-$8
some time ago, then $40, then SIS, then
500, $25, $50 and now $40 ton.
People no longer buy coal by the
ton, but by the bag, and bag of coal
which can be swung over the shoulder
costs 81. This means, of course, that
poor people can no longer buy coal
and can no longer keep warm, except
as the mild Italian climate may helps

them. But the climate does not help
the railways and factories, and indus
trial Italy is the worst sufferer from
coal shortage and excessive price.
There has even been talk since Italy
is not at war with Germany, of get
ting coal from Germany, and for the
possible exchange of some other
articls of mutual need. Importing
coal from Japan is also being consid-
ned, but the transportation cost is SO
great that Japanese coal would prob
ably not bring the price down much
in Italy. Wood as a substitute is out
Of the question, for Italy's tree and
timber supply is practically exhaust.
ed, and even punches of twigs and
fagots have become a luxury at high
price
The leading hotels of Rome have
posted a notice stating that owing to
tie high price of coal the Association
Of Hotel Keepers have agreed to
charge each guests one Ira go cents)
per day for the hotels expense for
coal. This is in the large and import
ant hotels known to Americans, where
10 such requirements have ever before
prevailed. A family of five thus pays
81 extra per month for its share of the
hotels coal
American coal shippers have been

that quarter. So that one of the effects
of the European war is to make the
high price of coal a vital question for
Italy, and the absence of any apparent
remedy is even more serious a ques-
ton.

American Cotton Goods
Wide Fields in China

the opportunities which await us and
which have been partly created by the
present worldwide conditions"
In normal times China is the largest
market in the world for cotton yarns
and the second in the world for cotton
piece goods. The value of the yarn
brought into the country averages
about $45,OOO,O0O annually and of
piece goods about $75,OOO,OO0, and it is
estimated that the domestic production
of piece goods equals the quantity i'm
ported, so that the total consumption
of cotton piece goods may be stated
as $150,OOO,O0O Ten years ago Amer
lean cotton goods had a large sale il
China; on fact, China was the largest
foreign market for such goods. Some
ground has been lost, however, by
reason Of competition from Japan and,
very recently, from Chinese mills.
The necessity for a thorough under
standing of the situation led the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce to send special agent to make
an investigation on the ground, along
the same line that the Bureau has
followed in studying the cotton-goods
markets in practically every country
in the world. The results Of the in
vestigation are set forth in 242-pago
monograph entitled Cotton Goods in
China" This report is an exhaustive
one, including chapters on yarn and
thread, grey and white piece goods,
grey sheeting, drills and Jeans, grey
ard white shirtings, trade methods,
currency, tarics, shipping, practical
suggestions, cotton manufacturing in
China, hand-loom weaving in China,
native supply of raw cotton, and the
South China cotton goods trade. There
are also extensive lists of imports, Mr..
Odell made a collection of samples of
the cotton goods in demand in China,
and this collection is being sent
around the country for examination

report, which is officially designated

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Is
There is a splendid opportunity at
present to increase the sales of the
better grades of American cotton
goods in China. This is the final OPP
inion of Special Agent Ralph NJ. Odell,
who has spent six months in China
investigating the market for cotton
goods for the Bureau of Foreign ami
Domestic Commerce, of the Depart
ment of Commerce. OF late years the
Japanese and Chinese mills have made
strong bid for the trade in cheap
cotton and competition in that line is
much more severe than in the better
greades. Chinese imports of piece
goods total about $75,000,000 a year,
and the American share of this has
for the last five years been maintain
ed at between five and six million dol
lars, which is somewhat below our
share in previous years.
The war in Europe, according to
Mr. Odell's report, has 3urtailed the
purchasing power of Chinese people,
but it has also restricted the exports
of cotton goods from the principal
European source. Stocks throughout
the country are gradually diminish
Jig, and it is likely that there will be
an actual shortage in the near future.
II full advantage is taken of the pres
ent opportunity by American manu-
facturers who are willing to find out
Just what the market wants and then
supply it, it is probable that American
cotton goods will regain the position
they once held. "In spite Of the pess-
imistic views of some of those who
have watched the rapid decline in our
trade in sheetings and drills in Man
churia, there are excellent grounds
for the belief that. American ingenu-
ity and modern methods of manufac-
ture will yet make it possible for the
United States, the second largest pro-
Queer of cotton goods in the world, 20
secure an appreciable share of the
trade in this large and expanding
market if we will avail ourselves OF
