This, taken in conjunc- jtion with the grumblin of those who expected more of impro ,ment than there was any sound basis for, has caused a temporary setback [to even the conservative elements in the industry. 1-lot buying. only sufficient 1 current requirements, | again in evidence in many quarters, and a2s a natural consequence prices are none too firm.

Then, |too, the impending end of the lake shipping season looms as a | that may release coal to compete in | other fields. Nevertheless it is worthy !of note that output in the eastern Ohio field has reached the highest level since early in February. | Coal Age index of spot prices of | bituminous coal halted for the time | being in its upward climb, after seven |consecutive weekly gains, standing on | October at 176, the corresponding | price for which is $2.12—the same as on_October 20 There was a marked increase in ac- ¥ at Hampton Roads last week, |@umpings of coal for all accounts iduring the seven-day period ended October 23 totaling 384,268 net tons, compared with tons handled {during the previous week. | After 10 weeks of steady increase | bituminous coal output reacted dur- ing the week ended October 18, when, according to the Geological Survey 10,255,000 net tons were produced. This was a decline of 298,000 tons from the week ended October 11, when the ovtput was 10,553,000 tons, ac cording to revised figures. The fall- {ing off was due partly to the obsery- ance of Columbus day. Anthracite {production. on the other hand, regls- tered a slight gain during the week |ended October 18, 1,750,000 net tons having been produced. an increase of 13,000 tons over the previous week. Conditions have eased somewhat in the anthracite market, with demand a trifie slowej. though the line com- panies are easily moving output and independents ate disposing of tonnage with comparativeiy little difficulty.

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES. CHICAGO, October 30.—Grain un- derwent a general downturn in price ltoday during the early dealings. i There was a decided pause in the ag- gressive buying which was such a powerful factor yesterday in hoisting corn values and strengthening other cereals. Unresponsive action of the | Liverpool wheat market today in the | face of vesterday's advances here had |an evident bearish influence. Wheat opening prices, which ranged from to 1% lower, with December 1.4 to 1.431: and May 148% to 1.48% were followed by a setback that in some cases went nearly 2 cents under yesterday's finish. Corn and oats declined with wheat. After opening unchanged to 1 cent off, December 1.06% to 1.06 fell 1 to 1% cents under the final fig- ures of vesterda Oats started at % to 1% down.
