BIT SHY ON PRODUCTION OF 10 OF PRICES MMMmWWMWM Bituminous Output Hi Bub Special Service. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 10. Utah's production of soft for the week ending with December 25th, last, is estimated at 0 net tons. That of Colorado is placed at 233,000, New Mexico 67.000 and Wyoming 172,000 tons. Production of soft the country over for the seven days ending with January 1st of this year including lignite and that coked at the mines is estimated at 10.709.000 net tons. This is an increase of 223,000 over the revised figures for Christmas Week 10,486,000. The daily rate of Reoutput, however, was lower than during Christmas Week. Janon mines indicate that on many loadings operated daily ports uary 1st, the time worked for the country as a whole being equivof a normal day. Total production of alent to about three-tentbituminous during the calendar year 1926 is now estimated at 678.290.000 net tons. Final returns from the operators, however, wiU change this figure somewhat, but probably not more than 2 per cent. For the year 1925 the estimated (published January 16, 1926) was 522,967,000 tons. Final complete reports showed of 1 per cent The error for 1925 was thus ELEVEN MONTHS PRODUCTION. In the tabulation below is presented for the first time estimates of soft production by states in November last. The total output for the country as a whole is estimated at 59,721,000 net tons, tiie highest figure ever recorded for a single month in bituminous history. 'Compared with the production in October there was an increase of 5,129,000 tons.. The average daily rate .of output in November was 14.2 per cent greater than in October, and there was approximately one more working day in November. The detailed figures in the table below show that in point of actual tonnage the greater part of the increase in November was naturally in the large fields of the Northern and Middle Appalachian region. The greatest proportionate gains, however, were in the tates of Illinois and Indiana, averaging 22 as against 8 per cent in Pennsylvania, 5 in West Virginia and 12 per cent in Ohio. The last three columns of the table show the total amount of soft produced in each state during the first eleven months of 1926. Similar le data, given for corresponding periods in 1925 and 1923, make an interesting comparison. It should be remembered, however, that the figures for 1925 and 1923 onlv are final.

It reads: ' Our board of directors, who represent 75 per cent of our stock, are in warty accord with the action taken iy a majority of our stockholders represented at their meeting yesterday. As the time approached fur the putting into effect of the proposed consolidation we became more and more convinced that a continuation of the present conditions would be to your and our advantage. Personal relationships which have been built up during a long term of years cannot b easily rs iroken. We shall advise onr that further action looking toward the consolidation will not be taken.

This shows a gain of 23,183,000 or 37.5 per cent when compared with 1925, when the total output amounted to 61,817,000 tons. Four months of 1925 and two months of 1926, however, were curtailed by the strike. Compared with 1924 and 1923 there was a decrease in 1926 which amounted to 3 and 8.9 per cent, respectively; The total of anthracite produced in Pennsylvania in November is estimated at 7,446,000 net tons as against 8,675,000 in October. The average daily rate of output in that month was 310,000 tons, less by 37,000 or 10.7 per cent, than in October. Production of beehive coke during the week ended January 1, 1927, is estimated at 166,000 net tons, a gain of 19,000 over the preceding seven days, in which output was curtailed by the observance of the Jhristmas holiday.
