DANGER OF COAL
FAMINE is OVER
CONTINUED from Page Onel

was fixed by the operators early IN
the summer, but up to this time has
not been reached because of the de-
ficiency of car supply at the mines.
No doubt exists in the minds OF
operators that the winter wants OF
the country will be met. But to &C
compMsh this they agree that pro
duction must be stimulated through
improved car service at the mines.
The matter has been impressed upon
railroad executives within the last
few days with assurances the car
riers will live up to requirements.
The operators say it has been dem
onstrated that flow of 100000
tons per week can be produced If the
car supply does not fail and that with
production at this figure "the exist
inc deficiency due to underproduction
can be made up soon after December
l."
Production of solft coal during the
week ended September IS reached II,
614,OOO tons, according to an official
report issued by the United States
Geological Survey, and surpassed the
production with one exception, of any
week since January Total production
for the calendar year to that date was
$50 S32 900 tons, an increase Of So
100000 tons over 1919. 1t is estimat-
ed by the survey that production for
1920 is about 100000 tons behind
1917; 43,250,O0O tons behind 1913
but 81 100000 tons ahead of last year.

Leather

After a prolonged period Of re-
strlcted demand it is not strange that
announcement of clearance move
ment involving 100000 to $1,000 lo
mestic packer hides should have
caused something g a stir in trade
channels. The report Of this business
was accepted by most hide dealers as
an indication that the protracted spell
of dullness has been broken and that
general resumption Of buying will
follow. As yet, however, there has
been no concerted reentry of tanners
INTO the market, and it is still tho
opinion in various quarters that any
real stimulus to activity must orig
mate in shoe circles In the latter
field retailers continue to hold off, bus
some Christmas purchasing is in ev-
dence, and the belief is expressed that
most footwear dealers have worked
heir stocks down to minimum This
is considered one Of the encouraging
phases. and there is some expectation
that trading Will revive after the turn
Of the year. Meanwhile price read
lustments are being carried further.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-29
Apparel

The market for most lines Of ap-
parel has shown little change in the
week, and little hope is held out for
Improvement until after the holidays
Purchases Of clothing continues on a
small scale and most retailers are
more concerned over moving present
stocks than over spring business, with
the result that orders placed with man
ufacturers are Disappointing. Many
manufacturers, however, were not ex-
pecting any considerable amount Of
orders before January, and have been
engaged in studying developments to
determine what amount Of last springs
business they might expect next year
Some estimate orders will reach so per
cent of last years. but others believe
they viii be lucky to get third of the
business booked for spring, 1919. Some
say hardly more than a fourth of that
amount should be counted on
There is much interest in the trade
in possible developments in the over
coat market after the expiration Of
manufacturers guarantees on prices
Wednesday.
Prices continue downward in hosiery
and knit goods, and so far retailers
show little interest, Stocks apparently
are large in these goods, and the in
stability Of prices also is causing buy
ers to act cautiously

Merchants Favor Policy
OF Conservative Orders

Most Of the merchants of the country
believe that retailers should at this
time place careful orders with manu-
facturers for spring delivery to main
tain confidence and accelerate price re-
