break the freight blockade to the
west There is not much chance Of
the embargo being lifted for some
time.
The condition at midnight was
not changed materially from the
situation that prevailed twenty
four hours before. Prom last re-.
ports the B. & o. had 2l0O accu.
mulated freight loads for the
west on the Monongah Division
and Of that total approximately
1900 cars were coal.
Coal movement over the noun.
tains east of Grafton was retard.
ed also yesterday when eleven
trains drew 433 freight loads oil
which 236 were coal. There were
$50 loads moved west OF which
275 were coal. There were 1913
unmovd eastbound loads on
the division yesterday OF which
$50 were coal.
Some coal tradesmen say that
the western blockade is not much
worse in the way of accumulation
than in the past when lake coal
and general western shipments
piled up. The dock people blame
these conditions on the railroads
and they in turn say the dock
people do not have the boats. The
fact remains that coal shipments
are tied up and not moving TO the
lakes. where the demand for coal
is great.
With the lake coal buyers out
of the market and western ship,
ments enlarged the market has
again started to soften. Coal Is
quoted at S4.25 and may drop to
81 before the day Is over. With
the B. & o. returning to normal,
some coal tradesmen predicted
that an influx of lake buying will
stimulate the price levels again.
Fuel Distributing.
Both w. ]. FeHe, representing the
federal fuel distributor, and P. F.
Sullivan, representing the Inter
State Commerce Commission, are
in Washington. 1t is a question
perhaps whether they will return
here although Mr.. Fene had e1
pected to return when he left Fair
mont,
It is said that the federal fuel
distributor activities are easing Ut
with the anticipated legislation o.
the coal industry. which no doub'
by the time It Is ready for passage
will see the end of the emergency
and the levels shall have dropped
so that the legislation will not be
necessary to curb prices.
Empty Supply.
There was a tightening OF the
empty supply on practically all o.
the divisions in Northern West Vlr
ginia today. A total OF Ills emp
ties were on the nine division,
while 9S4 were placed. The mine,
ordered 3,1O7 empties while theri
was approximately a 80 per cen
