Glut at Tidewater Forces Coal Prices Downward
Coal supply in northern West Virginia fell short of expectations as 3000 cars did not arrive and the week saw reduced production. New England shipments rose in the Fairmont district from 115 to 174 cars daily, while lakeward tonnage on the Monongahela rose. Local coal at Curtis Day faced heavy dumping and congestion, exports were under loan, and railroad loadings stayed high with full car supply to mines. Prices dropped by 2.50 to 3.00 per ton between Wednesday and Thursday due to export cutoffs and tidewater glut.

Lake shipments reached 555 cars by the 15th, tidewater shipments halted due to an embargo, while coal types remain in demand despite no export price rise.
