THE WELSH COAL TRADE
HAPPIER
French Import Tax Reduction
Considerable surprise was OC- casioned on the Welsh steam coal market last month by the decision
of the French authorities to re- duce the import tax on coal to a flat rate of 8 franca per ton, and restore the 10 per cent, cut made in the British import quota
to
last May.
It was estimated that the re- storation of the quota 'to the level of the winter months of last year would enable local exporters to ship about 35,000 tons more coal a month. Operators in this trade had not anticipated that the quota would have been increased in view of the slowing down of trade following the devaluation of the franc and the keen opposition of the French mine owners.
The reduction of the tax was welcome, since it was felt that it would, to some extent, counter- balance the recent price increases of Welsh coals which followed the abandonment of the gold standard', by France.
It will be remembered that the tax, which had been increased from 4 franca per ton in the case of Industrial coals, to 15 francs, and from 5 francs to 20 francs on anthracite, was cut by 20 per cent a-few weeks ago, Another wel- come development in the French trade was the placing of an order. for between 8.000 tons and 8,000 tons of small coals for stinment In October by a French electricity undertaking. It was understood that they were negotiating for a similar quantity for delivery aver November
