An increase In shipments to Cur
lis Bav we're noted last week OF
the Monongah division OF the B. &
O. X. r.. they were the heaviest
for IS weeks, totaling 1,2O4 car
loads. Permits were issued more
freely recently than for some time

be in demand for overseas as 1t for
merly was. The belief Is general
that the exporters are practicing
watchrul waiting until the prices
are at their lowest levels. Last
week there was dent made in
prices and 1t is believed that soon
the flow Of export coal will be
more freer, although the reports
are Just IN the form of dope" that

said so, etc.
While the exports on the B. &
o. we're rather brisk the reverse
condition was apparent on the Mo.
