Lakes to the Northwestern market 8.36 from 18.20
Fl • r
Pittsburg district have been officially announced.
The rates determined upon are
practically the same as thos prevailing last
year. This calls for $2.10 a ton for cargo
and $2.50 a ton for fuel coal f. o. b. vessels
at all lake ports. The only reduction in
force is at Ashtabula docks where the Hanna
interests are loading fuel coal at the
same rate as cargo coal, $2.10 a ton. None
of the other large lake shippers followed
the lead of the Hannas and still quote the
$2.50 rate for fuel coal. Shipments from
Pittsburg district mines to the lakes became
very heavy toward the end of last
month and that they will be steadily increased
for several weeks yet there can be
no doubt. The mines are generally in operation
and unless the railroads should fail
to furnish all the cars needed their period
of activity will only be bounded by the du­

portant northwestern contracts and according
to estimates will ship more coal to the
northwest than on any former year. The
company was unable to fill all its contracts
las season owing to the strike of vesselmcn
on the lakes which retarded shipments for
50 days after lake navigation opened. The
railroads were short of the normal number
of care and this, too, interfered with shipments.
No such difficulties are looked for
this season as the railroads have made aspecial
efforts to secure an ample number
of cars for all ordinary demands. Independent
coal concerns, which include the Ellsworth
and Osborn interests, have booked
some large orders for lake coal, and the
shipments to the northwest this season
will be unusually heavy. Many of the small
independent companies and some of the
large ones have contracted to furnish the
Pittsburg Coal Co. a part of their output,

all of which will go to the lake trade. The
shipment of coal to the lake ports is expected
to have an effect on prices for the Pittsburg
trade, and better prices may rule.
COAL SHIPPED BY RIVER.
Over 5,000,000 bushels of coal were shipped
South by the different coal companies
of the Pittsburg district last month.
An the April rises The Monongahela Consolidated
Coal & Coke Co. sent South about
3.500,000 bushels and a large consignment
of other freight. The boats got back from
Southern ports just in time to take advantage
of the high water and all got away with
as large tows of coal as they could handle
with safety. The balance of the shipment
sent out was made up by the independent
concerns. As the water fell rapidly, much
coal was still left in the pools of the Monongahela
river awaiting another favorable
stage of water.
