Some will find their favorite newspaper and an easy chair too enticing to leave. Others will glide swiftly over smooth country roads in one of their accustomed joyrides, weather permitting. Numerous forma of diversions will be resorted to in order to pass away the time. There will be family reunions, and feasting, and renewing of acquaintances, and discussions on the topics of the day.

NOVEMBER COKE OUTPUT. Production of byproduct coke continued to sag in November, and the total output 2,942,000 net tons was 157,000 or 5 per cent less than that in October. A considerable part of the decline was due to the smaller number of working days in November, and the avenge daily output increased 1223 tons or 1.3 per cent. Of the were active seventy byproduct plants now in existence sixty-fiv- e and five idle. The coke produced was 81.1 per cent of the total capacity of all plants. Production of beehive declined even more sharply than byproduct and present estimates place the total at 1.103.000 net tons. This was a decrease of 187,000 or 14.5 per cent.

The last cargo of anthracite for the season of 1923 was shipped up the lakes in the week ende December 8th. A total of 47,356 net tons was shipped and of which 41,871 tons were dumped at Buffalo and 5485 at Erie. Shipments for the season totaled 3,495,582 tons. In comparison with the three seasons immediately preceding, 1923 was 153 per cen Ahead of 1922, 18 behind 1921 and 13 per cent behind 1920. As a result of the curtailment of coke production the quantity of coal used in its manufacture also declined. It is estimated tha the total consumed by the coke industry in November was 5,966,00 net tons. Of this 4,226,000 were charged in byproduct ovens am 1.740.000 in beehive. On this basis approximately 13.9 per cent o: the November coal production was made into coke. There was no improvement in tidewater business at Hampton Roads. Dumpings of soft coal over the piers at that port declinec to 260,992 net tons in the week ending with December 8th. Prin tfpal factors in the decline were decreases of 21,775 and 14,21 ! tons, respectively, in exports and cargoes for New England destination.
