Steep advances in sterling ex-

that strong interests supporting
wheat were prepared to stand mod =

Subsequent free selling and lack
OF support, however. wiped out some
of the enhancement Of wheat values.
Fine weather and increasing ar

CHICAGO, November 24.-A slump
in the market demand for bituminous
coal has closed 20 per cent of Illinois
mines and 33 per cent of Indiana
mines since January 1, DR.. F. c. Hon
mold, secretary of the Illinois Coal
Operators Association, said here.
Seventy-one Illinois mines with a
potential daily capacity of 100000
tons or more. and sixty-nine Indiana
mines with gross daily output of
more than $4,000 tons. have been
closed or abandoned.
Lack of cold weather and a gen.
eral mo buying situation has lin
tied the mines still operating on an
average of about two and one-half
days week, DR.. Honnold explained.
This is not brought about by any
shortage" he said, but arises solely
from lack of market demand"
Naturally competition is very
severe. Because Of this many mines,
unable to-. cover production costs,
have been forced to shut down. More

The reason for the condition as
