The National City Company National City Bank New York Shortage of coal in all directions continues the dominating note in the trade, says the Coal Age. The difficulty is still due to the tremendous railroad congestion which has resulted in the worst demoralization in traffic for years.

Not only is the car supply very poor in the mining regions, but deliveries are also falling away behind normal schedules. As a result, mining interests are exceedingly hard pressed to keep industrial plants running, and frequently have to maneuver their inadequate tonnages to accomplish this. The United States government is already taking very heavy shipments, and with the possibility of calling for still larger supplies at any time, the agencies are naturally cautious. Prices have advanced in a spectacular manner in some instances, and more investigations by state and city officials are being made. The situation is particularly serious because the constantly recurring shortage have exhausted considerable reserve stocks which more conservative companies have always carried.

The warmer weather has relieved the railroad congestion sufficiently to get through enough coal to avoid a suspension at a great many industrial plants, but the market has been through the most crucial stage of the winter. It has only been by the closest co-operation between the producing, transportation and distributing-interests that famine conditions have been avoided at most points. Oil Field Notes.

Masten A- Co. Two unfavorable factors -which were consistently ignored the past week in stock market comment were the effects of the widespread railroad freight concession, and the continued critical position of international affairs. Kor the first time on record a.11 Chicago grain elevataors were closed on account of the freight congestion. This congestion cm-braces virtually every section of the country, having extended from the Atlantic seaboard to beyond the -Mississippi. A famine in fuel exists in some sections, and a.

shortage in food supplies is threatened in others.

The effect on railroad earnings is large loss in net.

The effects upon industrial oencerns, while much less severe, are none the less Important. Raw materials, especially fuel, are not obtainable in sufficient quantity to permit of full operation in furnaces and mills, and the result is bound to be poorer showings' in some lines than for the last quarter of 1916. This, with the strong probability of the excess profits tax being imposed by congress, weakens the argument used last year to bull prices of industrial stocks to the highest level ever quoted.

An explanation of the 10 per cent advance in the price of window glass is given in the recent circular of tjie Johnston Brokerage Co. as follows: During tlie past month fully one- hair of the factories of the country have been out of blast, and at cer- toi ft nave Deeri closed down on account of lack of fuel and materials, poor lauroad service, etc. This has retarded the completion of our old contracts and has made deliveries of new business very uncertain, until our sold business has reached a point where the factories do not care to increase it at present discounts at the present time."

Average of 40 active stocks half rails and half industrials and of 20 copper stocks i3 10V2 points above the average in February, 1914. Pure Oil's two-point advance to a new high record in the past few days was attributed to the bringing in of two large wells by the company. Xew York interests were believed to be the purchasers. Pure Oil's annual meeting will be held in Philadelphia Wednesday.
