BROKERS BLAMED FOR HIGH
COST OF NEWSPRINT PAPER

"Absurdly" higher prices for
newsprint paper bought on the
spot market are due to a corner
resulting naturally from the present
shortage, George McAneny, execu-
tive manager of the New York
Times, declared before the Senate
committee investigating the paper
situation. The market is two or
three times as much as that for
paper bought under contracts, he
said.
Brokers and small manufacturers
were blamed by McAneny for the
high prices. Answering a question
by Senator James A. Reed, Demo-
crat, of Missouri, as to whether
there was protiteering, he said:
They are selling. the paper"
Frank P. Glass, of Birmingham,
Ala, until recently president of the
American Publishers Association,
described spot market prices as
excessive"
Charles Lane, of the New York
Evening Post, and Mr.. McAneny,
suggested the best remedy for the
spot market condition was for pub
fishers to stop competitive bidding.

~ MILLION TONS OF COAL
MINED IN WEEK OF NOV. 13
Bituminous Production Nears New
High Record, But Total Falls
Short of Last Year.

Bituminous miners in the United
States mined more than 100000
tons of coal during the week ended
November Is, the geological survey
estimated today in it's weekly report.
Had 1t not been that many miners
were idle on Armistice day. pro-
duction record for the year probably
would have been made, the survey
said.
Rituminous production thus far this
year is placed at 476.ooo.00o tons
which is less than production during
the same period in 1918 by 49,
100000 tons. but is approximately
67,00O.000 tons ahead of the total for
the first 270 working days of 1919.
Comparison Of this years output
with that of the last two years does
not signify much because of dissim-
liar conditions. the survey stated. 1t
is more significant to note. the re-
port said, that 1920 is now within
100000 tons of 1917. when require
ments were large and production
about equaled consumption.
Production of anthracite during the
week ended November 13. the survey
estimated. was 1,753,000 tons, COM
pared with 1.415,000 tons for the pre-
ceding week.

In upper F'rederirk county, Mary land. on a hill overlooking the val leys of the AIleghenies, is a unique farm. Its owner lives and works in Washington, D. C., and in springtime and summer time goes to and from his farm in a little automobile whose door displays the painted reproduce ton of a big, red peony; for it was with money earned from peony bloss- oms that the car was purchased
 The farm is a flower farm, devoted largely to the growing of peonies for market Other marketable flowers are grown in quantity. Though the "p1ayground'' of a very busy man, the farm is profitable. It enables it's proprietor frequently to forget figures and statistics and reports and coun- try correspondents, in all of which he deals on a vaster scale than does any other individual in America.
 The man who thus %4walbows'' in re- ports from correspondents and III seas of figures on work days and plays profitably with peonies during weak-ends is Leon M. EstabrooFz, chief of the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Depart ment of Agriculture.
