MARYLAND Placements
Up Sharply in 1899
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Jan. PA sharp
upswing in Maryland employment
during 1899 was reported today by
the State Employment Service with
statistics showing a 46 per cent in
crease over 1888 in the number of
persons placed in jobs.
Jobs were found by the service for
43,480 persons in 1889, as compared
with 3l,373 in the preceding year.
OF the 1889 total, 1854 jobs were
in private employment, the re-
mainder on public projects.
In 1888 private employers provided
jobs for 81 $50 persons.
The service placed 3,273 persons in
jobs last month, and all but 304 were
in private industry, D. l.. B. Fringer
State service director, reported.

Slight Lag Logical.

Although year-end inventory sta
tistics are not yet available, it is
safe to assume that moderate con-
traction will be shown for Decem-
ber. Shipments during the month
were only slightly greater than a
year before, while industrial activity
was up about Is per cent. If the
December 81 figure turns out to be
in the neighborhood of 36,500,000
tons it will be neither subnormal
as it was at the end of 1888, nor alb
normally large, as at the close of
1887.
On this basis production and ship
ments during the first quarter
should roughly parallel actual con-
sumption There is little danger
of labor trouble for present wage
contracts in the coal mining in
dustry extend to the spring of 1941.
Some stocking might develop if it
became certain that the Department
of the Interior would soon set
higher than prevailing prices. The
prospects of such action are still
clouded, however, and for the present
may be left out of calculations.
Industrial consumption of bitumi-
nous coal during the first quarter
should be close to 10 per cent greater
than in the corresponding 1899
months, judging by current projec-
tions of industrial activity. This
view is subscribed to by the 13 Ship
pers' Advisory Boards, which re-
Gently estimated a gain of 94 per
cent in loadings of coal and coke.
Sharper Gains Indicated.
Second-quarter comparisons will
be with period of subnormal coal
traffic resulting from the miners
strike that extended from April
through the first two weeks of May,
1939 During the six weeks of strike
coal loadings totaled 348,8O8 cars,
against 490,470 year earlier, drop
of 28.7 per cent. Loadings picked
up in the next seven weeks to a
total of 696.259 cars, against 7,118
cars in the similar 1888 weeks, a rise
of 1873 per cent, but the increase was
not enough to result in overbuilding
of inventories, as the accompanying
table shows.
Much may happen in the next five
months, but on the basis of present
evidence it would not seem over
optimistic to expect a second quarter
average of 100000 cars of coal
weekly; the second quarter of 1896
average was over 10000 cars. Such
an average would bring coal loadings
for the three months to 1900 900
cars, which would compare with
1,045,067 in the second quarter of
1899, an increase of almost Is per
cent.
Thus more than 5000 900 carloads
of coal are to be expected in the
first half of 1910, an increase of
about II per cent over the total for
the first half of 1885, The pattern
would be gain of almost 10 per
cent IN the first quarter, gain aver
aging perhaps 10 per cent in the
first six weeks of the second quarter
and a gain averaging around 13 per
cent in the remaining seven weeks of
the second quarter.
