For the week ending Mar, 14,.the operators’ reports to the sur: vey showed a loss of more than 750, 000 tons, and indicated that the chief reason for the decline was a rapid, softening of the market. “Production decreased appreciably In a large majority of producing, dis- tricts,” says the Survey, “and prac- tically all the additional losses were ascribed to ‘no market’ . Inthe week ending Jan. 10 . . Very few districts worked less than half time on. the average, many worked two- irds of full time, and some between ee-quarters and full time. In the most-recent week not a single district worked three-quarters time, only 10 worked half time, and in several dis- tricts time was reduced to about one- third ofthe full-time hours.” In anthracite mining, the present weekly ‘rate of output is about 350,000 tons less than the average of the cor- responding weeks of the last five years.
