THE COAL THADRA Serious complaint ia mada in, the annual report of the Berg and Hutten Männischon Verein (the Mining and Smelting Association) of Upper Silesia öf the falling off in the home demand for Silesian and the growing consumption of British coal. This appears attributable less to the prolonged strike of the colliera and the ample supply of Lignite as to the keen competition of British merchants. Taking Berlin as a case in point we find that the totul consumption in 1813 of coaf and lignite was 202,494 föng less than in the previous twelve mouthe; ne only 4,243 tons lignite leas have been used; whilat

there has been an increase of 225,002 tons GUARANTEED ABSOLUTELY PURE,
in the quantity of British coal supplied the Silesian coal fields have suffered to the extent of over half a million tons (282,494-225,032). They supplied in round numbers two million tons, or 8,000 tons less than in 1907, the record year prior to. 1012, whereas compared with 1907 the consumption of British coal shows an increase of over half a million tons, baying amounted to something above million tons and a half. In 1902 upper Silesia supplied 62.8 per cent of the requirements of the Capital, in 1013 the percentage had sank to 43,7, the con- sumption of British coal baving risen in the meantime, from 15.25 per cent, to 36.5 per cent. It is chiefly British

German collieries, although possessing - EPPIO of the richest sents in the world, have been forced by the keenness of British com- petition in the home markets to seek an outlet for their production abroad. It is therefore absolutely necessary that the imperial, government, that every year makes greater demands on the purses of the public for the increase of its arma- ments, should in every way assist in the development of the resources of the country, and in cases like the present one devise means to prevent millions of marks going abroad in payment of an article which can be supplied equally well by Germany itself. The improvement and extension of inland waterways alone will not do it, as is proved by the fact that the River Oder has rarely been in so perfect a condition for navigation ne last your reduction in the railway rates. should be the first step, and is the more urgent as the drop in the freight market is giving British collieries and merchants a further advantage..
THE TOBACCO TRADE.
Similar complaints are voiced in papers connected with the tobacco trade, it is said that the cultivation of the plant is steadily declining, as cigarettes are taking the place more and more of pipes and inferior cigars for which German grown tobacco is chiefly used. As curtain purta of the country depend to a great extent upon the cultivation of it, it is hoped that høre, too, means may be adopted to check the retrograde move- ment.
