GREATER COAL OUTPUT
INCREASE !N BRITAIN BETTER FOREIGN ORDERS British Official Wireless RUGBY, Thursday. The figures for the output of coal in Britain in January showed an increase of nearly 3,000,000 tons on the previous month. The weekly quantities produced have steadily grown in all the English mining areas, and the number of miners employed in Britain has now increased to 911,000. The general improvement in British industry is one of the contributory factors to the increased home demand for coal, while the coal export trade has benefited from the fact that a number of the contracts which British customers abroad were forced to conclude with foreign producers at the time of the coal strike in Britain are now expiring, and these customers are reverting to British coal, which is more siutable for their purposes.
