Recovery of Price Levels
Slow, Due to Limited
Demand

Indications are that the produc'
tion in the FaIrmont coal region
will run heavier than last week.
Exclusive OF Friday and Saturday
the mines. on the three railroads
have loaded 4214 cars Of coal OF
Just 1885 car sshort Of last weeks
total
Price levels have showed no re
covery. In fact they have gonc
lower If anything in spots. The
coal business has not come back
speedily as was hoped but the
present low prices for high grade
West Virginia coal at Columbus
and other points probably were
influenced by dIsdrected Shipments
MS much as any other condton.
Coal operators have banked on
seeng some dawn In the business
skies, but It must be admitted the
light Is not coming as rapidly as
hoped for. Great faith is pinned
to the outcome Of tho unemplay.
ment cd oAference In Washington,
D. c., and hope is expressed thai
some great strides may be made.
With the lake season gone, as
theer was no coal shipped to lake
ports IN four days, another outlet
for surplus coal has been cut of
Curtis Bay. shipments in the first
four days OF the week aggregated
but 80 cars, but Arlington Pier
showed a slight bit more life than
usual with forty nine cars Of coal
going there in four days. h
