DEMAND B BRISK R
More Fuel Shipped That Way
Last Week Than Since SIM.
Strike Started.

That the East is in need OF coal
cannot be under estimated This
was reflected in coal shipments Off
the Monongah Division, B. & o.,
last week, when SCI cars OF coal
were loaded in that direction, the
strop gest weekly movement thus
far since the coal strike broke.
This was f63 cars more than were
Shipped to the East in the previous
week.
Western coal shipments off the
Monongah Division, however. at
eighty-six cars last week, showed
a slight easing up. drop OF thirty
four cars being noted
or the. Charleston Division. b:
& o., last week the eastern coal
shipped scared to the 514 car mark,
a gain Of ffty-seven cars
K Railroads Need Coal.
Railroads apparently are getting
hard pressed for coal also. a total
of 1854 cars were loaded off the
Monongah Division. B. & O., and
135 cars off the Charleston Div1s-
ion, B. & O. The B. & o.. indlv1d-
uaIly. secured seventy-two cars off
the Monongah Division and forty
leigh cars of the Charleston D1y1s-
ion last week. Foreign roads that
have offered more like market
prices have grabbed off the big end
;of the available tonnage recently.
Foreign carriers last week secured
min ety-two cars off the Monongah
Division and eighty-seven cars of
the Charleston Division.
Coal Movement.
Goal movement on the B. & o.
Railroad, east of Grafton. picked
up some. but is yet far from being
ideal. There were 1926 loads of
IcoaI moved east of the Alleghenies
llast week, which was a gain of
1902 cars over the previous week.
General freight movement showed
Ia total of 2,1O7 carloads. or a loss
Iof sixty-one cars compared to the
previous week.
Wasoners Busy.
Wagon mines continue to thrive
lin Northern West Virginia. This
can be CLEANED from a glance a,
the total last week on the Monon-
gah Division. B. & O.. when sixty
three cars were loaded against
| fifty-two cars the previous week.
The wagon mine activity is prob
ably even more pronounced along
the NtonongahcIa Railway. Daily
there is dozen or more cars o.
coal loaded right in the city of
}Fair1lont and probably twice that
much is being loaded on the rail-
road cars in the Morgantown sec
ton.
More Coke Produced.
| Coke production last week on
! the Monongah Division. B. & O.,
ran :. total OF rs cars, which was
the best showing for two weeks
The bulk OF the coke being pro
duced in the Fairmont region cor
tnues to go west. There wera
eighty-siX cars loaded in that d.
!rection last week while thirty nine
cars went east.
Every Division Gains.
! Every division in Northern West
Virginia last week showed decid-
led gain. This is a condition that
lis rather unusual, as frequently a
gain is check.mated with loss.
