COAL DISPUTE.:
FORMIDABLE OBSTACLES.
London, Nov. G. The steadily increasing number of miners resuming. (at present 300,000 working), Sogother with the mild weather, has mitigated the efforts of the coal stoppage during the past week, in which un- employment has diminished by 4,000 but nevertheless still exceeds 1,600,000,
་ ་ ་
A disquieting estimate of the cost of the stoppage was given by Mr. Walter Runciman in a speech at the Chamber of Commerce, Liverpool, namely; between 2216,000,000 and $270,000,000 of which taxtiles accounted for £20,000,000.
On the other hand capital issues to October 81 totalled £205,000,000, which is £11,000,000 abové Inst year.
