Commerce Board Says Sales to For
I eign Countries Small Price Factor.
BY Associated Press.
Washington, Nov. 12.-The foreign
demand for American coal was cIly
a minor factor in the creation of
high coal prices in the first nine
months of this year. the interstate
commerce commission declares in a
report prepared for the senate.
The report, made public today, is
in response to resolution adopted
by the senate last June calling for
an investigation Of the effect Of coal
exports on domestic prices.
1T would be an error to assume
that fundamentally the high prices
paid for soft coal are to be ascribed
mainly to the large exports" says
the report There also has been an
abnormal domestic situation. The
foreign demand intensified the alb
normal domestic demands, and the
several factors together afford an
opportunity for the exacting Of
prices not justified by the cost Of
production"
During the first nine months of
1920 the commissions table shows
that total Of 30,273,379 tons of coal
left the country. Of which 23,560,000
tons was export coal and 6.71S.366
tons was for foreign bankers.

IN Silesia has again been postponed
indefinitely. Meanwhile unrest in the
region continues.

ported. A dispatch from Beuthen to-
day says that the allied authorities
seized carload OF German artillery,

when enforcement officials ruled
against the sale of hops and malt e

Great secrecy surrounded the prohl-
bition bureaus action, but II was
definitely ascertained that such IN
structions had been issued.
DeAfls Of the order were lacking
The only admission made by prohioi.
ton officials was that the Noistea''
act had been construed to mean that
the sale of malt and hops as COM
ponent parts Of home mace Deg,
were without the pale Of the law ana
their sale must stop.
Enforcement officials thruouf the
country have been notified OF the
governments determination, but they
have not been supplied with the
technical language OF the decision.
The construction law which re-
suited in the new orders was made
nearly two months ago. But IT mas
not yet been approved by Secretary
Houston.
There were persistent rumors g.
both the prohibition and interna'
revenue headquarters that many
complaints had come from the manu-
facturers of cereal beverages con-
tanning less than one-hah OF per
cent OF alcohol against the tremen-
dous growth of brewing as nome

They were understood to have
protested that enforcement agents
