Global Coal Trade Tides Hurt U S Export Share
The Commerce Department reports a worldwide mood of low demand and fierce competition in coal markets. Britain remains a major exporter but has reduced shipments. U S exports fell from 36 percent of Britain’s 1925 level to 3 percent in 1928 and about 30 percent in 1930. Germany and Poland also cut exports while oil, hydro power, and gas displace coal. The report notes subsidies and long credits as tactics to sustain mines amid growing supply and demand imbalance.
