From Trade Journals
Bituminous Coal Situation

The long delay in revising the offica.
price Of bituminous coal, so that opera
tors could raise wages, has resulted
in a further loss of labor at the mines,
thus increasing the handicap under
which the trade is struggling in it's
effort to maintain production. Not
only have men left the region for
other industries since the first of the
month, but, with the wage question up
in the air, those who remained have
been restless and little inclined to work
steadily. As a result output has Jagged.
This, however is only one phase Of
the fuel problem, and equally Sc
rious from the standpoint of many con-
sumers is the way in which distribu-
tion has been affected by the price-fiX-
ing law. 1t is now two months since
the President exercised his authority
under this law and established prices
and conditions which resulted in pro-
ducers applying their tonnage on con-
tracts 70 such an extent that soft coal
practically disappeared from the open
market.
The result OF this continued favor
itism of one class of consumers at the
expense of another has been aggra-
waited in recent weeks by the expiration
Of short term contracts taken in the
spring and summer, and by ruling
with regard TO middlemen which makes
it impossible for the latter to live up
to certain obligations without incur
ring loss. As contracts expire con-
sumers find il impossible to renew
them, so that the number Of buyers
looking for coal in the open market is
increasing, while the tonnage available
continues to shrink on account Of mid
dlemen declining to accept further
shipments on contracts which would in
volve a loss at the selling end if they
are allowed 10 charge only S2.15.-

Wheat.-Arrangements made TO i'm
port a large amount of Canadian
wheat for milling purposes in the East
are expected to help out the local
-four situation. On the other hand.
considerable quantity of Australian
wheat is being imported on the Pa
ciic Coast. Receipts at Western
points have increased about 100000
bushels this week, and the larger -four
output as indicated by Western au-
thorities shows that the production Of
-four is far in excess OF year ago.
Corn.-The restrictive regulations
adopted by the Chicago Board of Trade
provide that hereafter no new buying
will be allowed in November and De
cember contracts, and purchases Of
these months will be limited to the
closing out of old contracts. Selling,
however, will not be restricted except
that operations will not be allowed
above the fixed maximum price of
SIPS. Trading in positions from jan
uary TO May, inclusive, Will be allowed,
but at the present time no operations
will be permitted in the later months
The first influence of this ruling was
to bring about quite active covering,
resulting in a net advance for the day
of rs to 1l2c. The action of the
Chicago board, which was in accord
ance with the wishes of the food ad-
ministration. is another illustration Of
the governments determination TO
minimize speculative operations. Some
authorities were of the opinion that
the measures adopted gave a strong
intimatiOn that the trade at large does
not expect any extensive accumulation
of stocks during the balance of the
present year. As matter of fact,
many handlers of cash corn believe
that the price for the cash article is
not likely to go below the maximum
price Of contracts, despite the evil
dences that farmers are inclined 70
sell their new corn in order to take
advantage of the premiums prevailing.

Cotton

A further sharp advance took place
in the cotton market yesterday, with
all deliveries this side of March max
ing new high records for the season.
Continued covering by October shorts
sent the price Of that delivery up TO
29.5O. within half cent of the talked
Of 3O-cent level. and 81 a bale above
Tuesdays closing price. At $50 points
over December there was more October
for sale. and prices eased off 70 % cents
late in the morning. There were also
moderate reactions in the later months.
After selling a. 2S cents. December
cosed al 27.9O, and the final tone was
barely steady at a net decline OF 10
points on October. but unchanged TO
SO points higher on later deliveries.
The news factor was the weather in

storm. wire service with the South was

in coming in. Those received. now

with very low temperatures at several
points. According 20 private advlces the
temperature has dropped TO . degrees
at Atlanta. the lowest on record for &c
tober in that section. These advices pre-
pared the trade for unfavorable de-
tailed reports when they became avail,
able. and buying was also stimulated
hy the bullish character Of Southern
spot advices
The market opened unchanged to
points lower under overnight selIlng
orders. There was buying by Liver
pool and trade interests, which quickly
absorbed these offerings, and the de-
mand became more active and general
as prices worked higher. This Included
buving by brokers with Wall Street
connections, who were supposed to be
covering cotton recently sold for
reaction. After selling 20 TO 30 points
net higher on the general list, prices
reacted moderately under realizing.

The Malay Peninsula has the distinc-
ton of being the largest rubber pro-
ducing and rubber exporting country
in the world. Its rapid advance in this
particular industry cannot be said 70
be the result of sudden development,
but has been a gradual process, says
the American Consul General at Singa-
pore, Straits Settlements.
Ten years ago the production Of rub
Der in the Malay Peninsula was very
small, as compared with that of Brazil,
which was then the principal source of
supply. It's advent to first place as
rubber producing country is due to its
favorable climatic and soil conditions
for plantation growth, with the result
that the rubber industry now stands
first in importance, greatly exceeding
in point Of output value that of tin pro-
duction, which previously held first
place in the Malay Peninsula and
which, in spite of its relegation to a
secondary position as local industry,
still maintains its clear lead in rela-
ton to the worlds supply o. this metal.
The following table gives the annual
production of rubber in the Malay
Peninsula (including the Straits Set
tlements) since 1905:
