Italy May Be Customer For Pocahontas Coal
A Coal Trade Journal correspondent notes Italy may become a customer for Pocahontas and other U S coals as the Italian government studies large shipments for state railways. I Quattrone in Philadelphia examines New River Pocahontas and Pennsylvania coal and suggests briquetting could boost a trade, though American briquetting has limited success. The Italian preference for briquetted coal stems from long usage and the higher ocean freight cost of Cardiff coal.
