international News Service:
NEW YORK. May 10. - Trading
was extremely brisk at the opening
of the stock market today with
various issues advancing while
others were in supply at substantial
Oncessions. Interest continued con
centrated in Steel Common. which
started with sales at 107 TO 1861
and then made a sharp advance to
1O91s. again lifting its high record
for the year.
There was a constant changing of
Of tone in other issues. Union Pa
cifc moving up l point To IA Is
with quick reaction 10 1898 New
Haven advanced over point to
341a and dropped 10 1912 in the
next few minutes
Tobacco Products was in steady
demand. advancing 10 above 60, a
gain Of over / point. There was
much in the market movement dur
ing the early trading TO indicate
that a condition approaching panic
had been created in the bear ranks
and that many of those who still
maintained a short position in the
market were being forced to cover
because of exhaustion of resources.
New York Central made an advance
of 112 to 1874. Southern Pacific
rose "a to S5l2.
Trading in stocks during the fore
noon was the largest noted so far
on this movement. the transactions
in the first hour amounting 10
around 100000 shares. Steel Com
mon. after selling at 1864 rose TO
1922 followed by a reaction of l
point The other steel industrials
made gains Of around points. To-
bacco Products moved up ~ to 81
and there was persistent buying Of
New York Central which rose
nearly , points to 731S
The initial transactions in the
Liberty AS were made at 1910
from which the price dropped TO
$3.50 on large transactions. II was
said that the selling came from out
OF town banks.
Early in the afternoon Steel Com
mon touched a new high record for
the year OF 1O9 IS. At this price
the stock was over three points
above the low Of the morning.

COAL SHORTAGE SERIOUS.

Soft coal production has failed 10
keep pace with the growing de-
mand Of industrial and domestic
users says Andrew T. Murphy. Pub
Usher of The Black Diamond in the
following editorial;
Looking at the facts squarely.
the demand for coal is not being
satisfied. Anyone Of dozen reasons
explains why this is so. Nothing
can explain away the fact that the
nation is running into as bad coal
situation as il faced last winter.
While il is palpably impossible,
at the beginning of the season. 10
measure precisely the demand 70.
coal for the entire year, the most
intelligent guesses are that the total
demand for all kinds of coal Will not
be less than 72O million tens This
calls for an increase of 90 million
tons over the output of last year. If
this is to he satisfied. coal prOduc-
tion and shipment must he in
creased 10y - million tons per
month
Actual performance is falling far
below this schedule. The output for
the FIRST three months OF this year
properly counted in last years
6gures-was slightly above that OF
1917. Tha. the gain did not exceed
half Of one percent is explained
by the severe weather in the first
two months. But, the record for
April. which figures in this coal
years production. was not appre-
cIably better. The tonnage reports
have not been compiled as Yet. II is
evident. though. from the reports
from many mining regions, that
output has not grown by anything
like - million tons. DR.. Garfeld's
estimate j. that the shortage will be
- million tons or - million tons
FER month. This indicates that his
guess is that output will increase by
two million tons per month over
1911"
The public is advised 10 store
coal from the fields OF their district.
TO avoid i long haul by the already
over burdened railways.
