l1,728,OOO Tons
Mined i'm Week Set
New Coal Record
Peak of 1920 Production i'm
Biiuminous Fields on
Aug. 20, but Shipments to
New England Still Lag

WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-Production
Of btumnous coal reached its 1920
peak during the week ending August
IA, when the miners turned out
11,728,00O net tons.
The Geological Survey in making this
announcement to-day made public
figures showing production of btu
minous since last January l to total
1877, 900 tons, which is 48,250,000
tons greater than the 1919 production
at the same date.
Tho increased production for the
week Of August IA was ascribed in part
By the survey to the accumulation Of
empty coal cars during the strike of
day men in the Illinois and Indiana
fields. Reports to the survey early
last week indicated loadings slightly
less than the preceding week and the
suspension Of operations in the Indiana
field, reports of whicn mad not reached
the survey, when its report was written,
probably will account for a still fur
ther decrease in production during
last week.
Shipments to New England, for
which a priority order recently was
issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. are not coming up to ex-
pectations, the Surveys reports ind-
cate. Coal tonnage for New England
handled through Hampton Roads dur
ing the week of August II declined,
although there was slight increase
in export coal. Rail shipments for New
England also declined, but still are
45 per cent above last years average.
Priority Of shipment to the lakes
for the Northwest ordered by the In
terstate Commerce Commission is hav-
ing its effect, dumpings at Lake Erie
ports for the week of August IA being
994.425 net tons, all except 42127 tons,
which were for transhipment to the
Northwestern states. Loadings for
lake designations. which the Survey as
serts. is better indication of the work
ing of the order, exceeded by sixty-one
cars. the quota fixed by the railroads.

Power House at Mine
Blown Up by Dynamite
Attempt to Decoy State Police
Away Fails; No Lives Lost
in fINDlOsiOn
in Explosion

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Aug. %
After an unsuccessful effort had been
made early to-day to decoy the state
police from Borderland by a telephone
message describing disorder at Rasvl,
two miles distant, according to officials
OF that organization, the power house
Of the Borderland Coal Corporations
mine No. was blown up by dynamite
There was no loss of life The Border
land mines have been operated con-
tinnously since the beginning of the
present strike of coal miners.
1t is said the dynamiting was accom-
rIshed by means of case of the ex-
plosive being placed against one of tie
cutter walls of the building and set off
with an electric spark. Vigilance of
the state police, it is believed, pre-
vented more thorough preparation and
consequent larger destruction The
switchboard was destroyed and the
boiler room put temporarily out of
commission. Damage is estimated at
5000.
No fatalities resulted from the
pitched battle between miners and
mine guards at Mohawk, Mcdowell
County, Saturday, according to reports
reaching here. That the miners had an
ticipated a battle of longer duration
was indicated by the discovery Of a
camp in the forest near Mohawk, which
had been provided with rations for sew
cral days.

International Petroleum
And Tropical to Combine
Merger Expected 10 Make Oil
Company One of Largest OPP
Grating in Latin-America

Details of the merger of the Inter
national Petroleum Company, Ltd and
the Tropical Oil Company have been
announced by c. II. Smith, president of
the former, and j. c. Trees, head of
the latter organization. The consoli-
dation has been discussed for more
than a year, and in October, 1919. it
was announced Ahnt negotiations had
been called off. With the rcopcning of
discussion Of the proposition, however,
q working basis was reached, and a
large majority of shareholders of both
companies has approved the proposal.
The arrangement follows:
1t is planned to organize new In
ternational Petroleum Company, Ltd.
under the laws of Canada, authorized
to issue at least 100000 preference
shares of q par value of SIS and at least
7,11S,13S common shares without par
value. The Tropical company has out
standing approximately ,575,0 900 shares
and the International 2 2G06,8O2 shares
of common and 100000 shares of pre-
fcrred.
For the outstanding stock of both
companies the new international Petro-
lcum, Ltd, will exchange its shares on
the following basis:
To the Tropical Oil Company 1884,
534 common shares upon receipt of :
$4,000 shares of Tropical After set
ting aside enough Of the common stock
to meet obligations the Tropical Will
have 1888 500 common shares Of new
INTERNATIONAL which it will exchange in
the proportion Of IL shares for each
share of Tropical.
To the old International Petroleum
Company. Ltd, 5,313,G04 common shares
and 100000 preference shares, to be ex
changed on the basis of one share COM
mon and ono preference share fer each
preference share now outstanding, and
two shares of the new common for each
share of old common stock now out
standing.
The plan is expected to be advanta
geous to both companies, the one being
a producing, refining and marketing or
ganzation, capable of handling a
larger production, and the other a pro
ducing company without sufficient facil-
tiles for distribution. Their properties
are in the same general latitude, and
the new company hopes to be one Of
the most prominent in Latin America.

$5,OOO,OOO for Canadian
Highway Improvements

Five million dollars will be spent
this year in making better the main
highways of Canada through Federal
and provincial grants. Of this amount
the Dominion government will con-
tribute $2,0O0,000 and the provincial
governments s3,OOO,O ,O00 This is the
first year in which the road money
has been available, and in view of the
time taken in preparing plans the
initial years outlays will not be so
heavy as in some succeeding years
The Improvement scheme, however,
is general. Before the Dominion gov
ernment makes any grant for the pur-
pose the provinces have to file general
plans, and every one Of them, from
coast to coast, has done so already.
The detailed plans also need approval
by the Dominion government, and this
has been done in several instances
and work is under way While the
provinces may improve whatever roads
they choose to, the Dominion grant of
40 per cent of the cost is restricted to
main oratrunk highways.

Further declines in the hide market
were, made last week. Dry Boeotas

High grade sole leather continues firm
through lack of great surplus sup
plies, but buying is dull. The same is
true OF upper feathers. The shoe trade
is still houndering around in the dol
drums. retailers and Wholesalers hav-
ing been unable to meet on the price
question sufficiently to stimulate a
large volume of business. Retailers
are continuing their summer sales with
only fair success, it is reported, and the
fall retail business is not expected to
develop until late next month
New-York tribune., 1920-08-23
CottOrls

The demand for finished cotton
goods for immediate delivery was
slightly stronger last week than it
has been for some time. hut prices
continued their softenirg trend. The
gray or unfinished goods division of
the trade continued dull. with offer
ings of gray goods from the converters
more marked. Rather than process
high priced gray goods bought some
time ago and offer the finished article
at low price to induce buying,
many of the smaller converters are
said to prefer taking their losses on
the unfinished goods. One of the
largest converters, however, feels that
it is wise to stock goods to hold his
trade when new buying develops, and
accordingly is processing all the gray
goods he has in stock. He expects
to take loss on many lines. This
illustrates the divergence of opinion
in the trade. but also brings out the
point that many factors are prepared
TO lose some Of the profits that were
piled up last year. Cloth manufac-
turers and others in the trade are ex-
pecting 25 cent cotton in time to per-
nit its use in many fabrics for next
spring, and recent declines in the raw
cotton market give foundation for
these hopes
Export trade in cotton goods is still
dull and more English made merchan-
disc Is arriving in this market.

While q better inquiry for silk

was dull and prices bit off toward

picked up considerably, although prices
failed to advance. Some silk mills that
have their own throwing plants are
said to be buying yarns all prepared
