The present is a titne when Russia
and Turkey always take large sup-
plies of Welsh steam coal. The ex-
tra requirements will tberefore be
difficult to meet.
The managing director of a coal
Company pointed out in au inter-
aiew recently that the supply of
Welsh coal is so limited and the da-
mned so regular that most of it is
sold before it leaves the pit. It
was, therefore, impossible, he de-
clared, to supply anybody with so
vast a quantity as a million tons in
less than three or four months. 11
is not a good policy, he pointed out,
to stack over fifty thousand tons,
as the coal deteriorates. He expeet-
ed that the new orders were to be
delivered over a lengthy period, in
which case they would not greatly
effect the market,.
If the Russian Government had
gone to the enormous expense of
ehartering their owa steamers in
order to carry as notch as possible
inonedintely it might stiffen 1301109.
Theaverage cargo of a coal boat it
5,000 tons, so it would require a
large fleet to carry a million tons.
These quantities could easily be slip -
plied by Wales, he added, hut it
would take time.
A little clarity was recently found
sitting on the steps of a fasltionable
house in New Yotge, crying: pitifully,
