dam, Lisbon, Genoa and other parts Of Italy are receiving American coal at freight rates which only their UT gent needs can justify. Even to Port Said American coals have been ship ped.
 ''The question arises whether this is merely a passing phase due to the present scarcity of tonnage, of whe- ther these American ships are the pioneers of new form of enterprise of the Western continent which is destined to become permanent fea- ture of trade. It must not be assum- ed that, with the increase of British shipping that will assuredly come in year or two, the old lines of trade will be easily regained.

AMERICAN COAL
 GAINING VERY
 STRONG FOOTHOLD

Tondon. Nov. s.-Evidence that America is supplanting Great Britain in coal markets of South America and Europe is seen by the Shipping World. The paper attributes this to restrictions imposed on shipping that otherwise might be available for car rying British coal.
 'aThe result is that traders abroad who want coal are getting it from other regions" it says.

New York, Nov. 25-For the next two weeks we'll hear a lot about Willie Meehan, the roly-poly youth of California. Willie is now in town seeking matches with the gentlemen of his class, and if he conquers 'em all will invite our champion, Mister Dempsey, to take a whirl in the squared circle. Willie never hesitates to remind Dempsey that he holds a decision over him. To rifle tho cham pion, Meehan adds that if the fight had been five instead of four rounds he would have fattened Jack to a certainty.
 On the other hand, Dempsey de- clares he was handed the welI-known 'woik," and if he ever gets Meehan with gloves on will send him back to the salubrious Coast via the baggage
