MOBILE INTERESTED
IN REPORT OF CUT
IN RATES ON COAL

Mobile, October 25.-(Special.) -Consid-
cradle interest is being evidenced in ship
ping circles here today following the
news from Washington that the shipping
board is to reduce rates on coal from
Mabile to Cuba, Panama and the east
coast of South America at least s1.50 a
ton lower than the rate from Atlantic
ports.
These countries Import large quantities
of coal, and with the cheaper ocean rate
In force, together with the low cost of
transportation to shipside from the War
rior river fields, it is believed that a big
business, calling foe the erection of large
storage houses, will be developed from
this port.
Representatives of Birmingham inter-
ests were here this week looking over
waterfront sites, with the view, it is ru-
mored, of erecting such facilities for the
handling of the product for export.
The rates on Goa! from Mobile and the
Atlantic ports to these countries are the
same at the present time.
The reduction in the rates was prom
ised to members of the Alabama delega-
ton in Washington headed H. Congress-
man John A. McDuffie of the First dis
trict. The Alabama representatives also
urged that the same rate be allowed from
Mobile to Europe rs from Atlantic ports,
but this proposal was rejuected on the
ground that the longer trip from Mobile
to Europe made the differential necessary.
