The January output Of soft coal lhe
country over failed TO make good the
slump recorded In December. The
total production Of bituminous coal
including Ignite and coal made into
coke. Ia estimated as t2.727. 900 net
tons. only fifty-seven thousand tons
moro than the December production.
Indeed. because January contained
twenty aiN working days as compared
with twenty-five In December. the
daily rate OF production In January
was lower than In December. Pre-
limlnary estimates place the average
daily output during January at L.
6f3.O tons as compared with i.6sG,
900 tons In December.
The rate Of bituminous production
during the first month of 1917 was
lower than In any month since Sep
TENDER. 1915. Tho cause underlying
this alarming depression was an un-
preccdcntcd congestion Of the trans
portation system Of tho country in
duccd In part by the unusually severe
weather. In the face OF a need
greater than over before the country
enters the second month Of the year
some five million tons behind the
ton during the first week OF Febru-
AIRY has been at the rate Of i,703.o0o
tons per working day. The average
Tor the year 1917 was i,7T7.0O0 tons.
The months production OF beehive
kc II estimated aH 2.1ae,0oO tons,
an average per working day OF ss.e72
tons This was decrease OF seven
thousand tons per working day "a
compared with the preceding month.
The lowest daily average recorded In
any month before December during
the last two years had been io5.26s
tons In February. 1917.
