COAL EMBARGO
LOWERS EXPORTS
Statistics Indicate Shrinkage
OF 1920 Shipments From
Hull, England.

From statistics compiled by the
coal trade Of Hull. England, apper-
tanning to general business condt-
tions prevailing during 1920, it ap-
pears that in consequence of the
prolonged embargo on the export OF
coal from Hull the quantities receiV-
ed and exported were again much be-
low the average Of even war years.
The total received at Hull by river
and rail was 2,171,2S1 tons, or 3.3
per cent more than in 1919 Ithe
worst year experienced since Hull
became a coal porD but less than
one-third the prewar average. The
proportions conveyed to the port by
river and rail were practically the
same as in previous years. the guam
tity sent by river being 1S3,316 tons
and by rail 1,9S7.9O5 tons. 1t is eI-
pected that with unrestricted ex-
ports from the Humber in 1921
HulTs trade in coal will steadily
climb. Nevertheless. it has long
way to go to reach the total OF
1913. when 1896 tons were re-
ceived at Hull from the Collieries.
The coal returned as having been
exported from Hull to places abroad

CHICAGO. Feb. 10-The grain
markets today were active and er-

temporary reactions in the upward

The feature of the wheat market
was the further widening out Of
the spread between the March and

preston in the worlds trade is
causing a serious situation at the
present time. 1t has been stated
that more than 900 British vessels
are tied up because of lack of bust
ness. 1t is well known that a large
portion of our Shipping Board feet
is idle for the same reason and
reports state that still more will

OF course. the remedy for much
Of this idleness is the revival of
business. The formation of the
Foreign Financing Corporation will
eventually help to put the world s
shipping into operation and as re-
construction proceeds in the war
countries, conditions will improve.
On the other hand, it is probable
that the world is overstocked with
shipping. The enormous develop
ment of the industry in America
where production increased from
less than 200, 900 tons in 1915 to over
1000, 900 tons in 1919 has upset the
worlds balance.
The United States has made some
mistakes in its shipbuilding. Many
of our ships were constructed in
too great haste and as a result
proved unseaworthy. 1t is also
generally conceded that the wooden
ships were a mistake. Yet the re-
cords show that during 1920 the
United States built 121 wooden sea-
going ships with a gross tonnage
OF 1900, or about Z per cent OF
our total Even in the months Of
November and December we con-
structed eighteen wooden ships, %
more than 10000 gross tons.

amounted to 5,S6l,000 gross tons, or

bid against the scintillating shots that
the national junior champion sent over

set, the result of an aggressive volley-

match might be squared. At this stage,
however, Richards let out an extra
notch and ran the set out, volleying
superbly.
Atherton Richards worked at sensa-
tional speed in bringing about the de-
feat of Washburn. The international
ist led him at Al before Richards
started to increase his speed and make
the most of furious service. His
backhand proved invulnerable against

Rube Benton, Barnes and Nehf
FaU Before Boston Onslaught
Braves Start Scoring
EARLY and Carry Off
Honors by Score of los
BY Charles A. Taylor

After their disastrous trip through
the West, the Giants disappointed the
home fans by their frightful showing
when submitting to an ingiorlous de-
feat, 16 to 5, yesterday on the Polo
Grounds. The Boston Braves were
o. the winning end.
The home run program was all at
SAe expense of Art Nehf. The relief
- chers afforded no help. Nicholson,
L<chel and Gowdy tore off home runs
Ut Nehf when they were not needed.
The big inning for the Braves, who
non eleven out of seventeen games on
N.eir western trip, was the sixth when
oven runs we're registered by the
Asitors before the end came.
Johnny Monroe, who was installed
at second base, made two errors that
assisted the visitors. Nehf replaced
Jess Barnes and he was overwhelmed
with fusilade of bingles.
Both Busy in First Inning
The first inning was busy session
for both mines. The Braves banged
Benton blatantly for two runs, and the
Giants mauled McQuillan for four
tallies. The deeds of the Braves may
be recorded as follows:
Powell, the first batter, walked and
was held on first only because Young
made a sensational capture of Bar
bare's low line smash to right. South
worth singled past Bancroft, and then
Nicholson drove to left for base, both
Powell and Southworth tallying when
Monroe allowed Burns's relay to get
away from him.
Boeckel forced Nicholson at second
on q mean rap to Frisch, who made a
thrilling stop. Holks kept up the bonn
harding of Benton with single to
right. but Ford famed.
AS for the doings of the Giants in
the initial act they did even more dam
age than their rivals and waited until
two men were, out to do it. Frisch af-
forded the opening with single to CEN
ter. Young followed with triple off
the right field wall which scored the
Fordham Flash. Kelly doubled over
Holke's head and Young counted.
Honey Walker tripled to left center,
hit safely to right, scoring Walker and
putting Monroe on third. Benton ended
the storm for McQuillan by grounding
out, Ford to Holke.
Tie Up Game in Fifth
In the second inning the Braves re-
duced the Giants lead by one run.
There were two out when Powell
singled to center and scored on Bar
bare's triple to right center. South
worth flied to Burns.
An error by Monroe in the fifth al
lowed Boston to tie the score. South
worth led off with single and went to
second on Nicholson's sacrifice. Boeckel
popped TO Bancroft, but Monroe allowed
Holke's smash to get through him and
Southworth crossed the plate. Holke
was out stealing, Monroe talking the
throw.
Two wonderful fielding stunts saved
Benton from worse punishment than he
received in the opening inning. In the
first place Ross Young made a shoe
string catch of Barbare's hot liner, and
in the second instance Frisch made g
most marvellous stop Of Boeckel's siz-
zling grounder and forced Nicholson at
second. i'l
Honey Walker surprised himself and
the populace in the second inning by
nabbing McQuillan's fly with one hand
after badly misjudging the fight of the
ball.
