IMPORTING OF COAL
IN STRIKE UNLIKELY
Carrying Welsh Product in
Ballast Held to Be CONNER
cially Unfeasible.

Doubt that a steamer was bringing
1000 tons Of coal from England to take
advantage of strike prices was ex-
pressed in shipping circles yesterday.
Prices at New York. it was said. would
have to rise considerably before II
would become commercially feasible to
import Welsh coal. even If it were car
ried over as ballast.
One coal charterer said he had traced
down the reported coal shipment, and
believed it to be true that such a ship
ment had been made, but he could not
ascertain the name of the ship or con-
signee. 1t was pointed out that any
one importing coal at this time natur-
ally would want to keep the fact secret
Sc as to get the jump on his competi-
tors. in the event 1t proved possible to
dispose OF the fuel at a profit.
A large number OF ships suitable for
carrying coal are idle at this time and
their agents would be quick to seize a
chance to put them into service. Poca-
hontas. the grade of coal most nearly
corresponding to the hest Welsh product
is quoted at s5.65 a ton at Hampton
Roads and $685. at New York. The low
est price at which Welsh coal could
be laid down at New York Is IS ton.
and this figure could only be made II
the fuel were carried as ballast. the
carrying charge for which Is about
$3.50 ton.
The commercial rate for a full cargo
of coal from Cardiff would be "a to
A.25 a ton, which would necessitate
price at New York of not less than $40.
Only a leap upward In the price of
domestic coal not now foreseen would
bring imports on this basis within the
bounds of possibility.
The steamer Robin Hood, 5.1A tons
Geadweight, was chartered last week
here to carry cargo of coal to Rio
de Janeiro. which would indicate that
the American market still is able to
compete with the British on South
American business.

mya, without charge, report their
(TR) noon positions through the
following naval radio stations in
the United States proper: Bar
Harbor, Me. (Otterclics); Cape
Hatteras. N. c.; Jupiter, Fla;
Key West, Fla; New Orleans,
La. These position (TR) re-
ports must be addressed only to
the radio station called, and they
will be forwared to New York.
1t is important that these re-
ports should be sent promptly at
noon each day in order that they
will be received in time for pub
lication.
Position reports can also be
sent through the stations of the
Independent Wireless Telegraph
Company, Inc, at New York
city (WCG); Babylon, l.. I.

RADIO SIGNAL SOUGHT
AT NANTUCKET LIGHT
Fl. II. Raymond Praises Tuo
Stations Already Installed.

request for radio fog signal sta
tion on the Nantucket lightship similar
to the stations already established on
the Fire Island and Ambrose Channel
lightships has been sent by II. H. Ray
mond. president Of the American Steam
ship Owners Association. to Commits
sioner G. r. Putnam of the Bureau OF
Lighthouses, In Washington.
Mr.. Raymond pointed out that the
stations on the Fire Island and Ambrose
Channel lightships have proved useful
and that such station would be of
even greater value on the Nantucket
ship, located far out and directly In the
route of incoming transatlantic liners.
With the equipment recommended mas
ters of ships would be enabled to verify
their positions by radio much earlier
than is now possible.
