Report on the Production and Consumptionof Coal in India in the year 1913

Part I—Report

1 .—Scope of the Statistical Tables .

The object of the statistical tables presented in this report is to

show in detail the latest available statistics relating to India’s coal productionwith special reference to imports, exports, consumption, prices, freights, andalso with regard to the capital and labour employed in the coal miningindustry of India. The publication of the Report has this year been somewhatdelayed owing to (1) the extra labour involved in the reconstruction of

statistical tables and (2) urgent work connected with the war.

All returns of production in the case of mines under the Indian MinesAct, VIII of 1901, are sent direct by the managing agents of mines to theChief Insjoector of Mines, who forwards them to this Department. TheDirector, Geological Survey of India, supplements them by the returnssent to him by Local Governments and Political Agents for non-ActandNative States mines. Information regarding imports and exports hasbeen taken from the Seaborne and Railborne Trade Returns publishedby this Department. As regards consumption estimates have beenmade from data furnished by the Railway and Steamer Companies, the PortTrusts, mills and factory owners. Additional information regarding foreign

countries has been obtained partly from the British Board of Trade, British

Consuls and from other official sources mentioned in the Bibliographyappended to this report. Unless otherwise stated, the ton referred to in this

report is the English statute ton of 2,210 lbs.

2 .— Coal Production.

The quantity of coal produced in each province in India from1878 to 1913 is stated in table 1, page 12, in Part II. Although coal-

mining has been now practised in India for more than a century and althoughproduction and consumption have shown a steady increase which has beenespecially notable in the last decade, the development of the coal resources of

the country is as yet very incomplete.

The total production in 1913 amounted to 16,208,000 tons or about 10per cent more than was produced in the previous year, and nearly 3,410,000

tons more than that during the famous boom of 1908, when the output was12,770,000 tons. To this may be added some 321,000 tons estimated to

have been taken out from the mines by miners for their own use. The total

production in 1913 would thus come to some 16,532,000 tons, but for purposes

of comparison the figure of 16,208,000 tons first stated must be adopted. Inthe year under review the coal industry suffered to a certain extent fromexcessive and abnormal floods, fires in some places and want of labour whichwas diverted to the rice cultivation owing to early monsoon rains. There wasalso some shortage in railway wagons caused by the great demand for fodder

transport.

The coal-fields which have been worked in recent years are classified below,

with the quantity produced in 1913, according as they belong geologically to the

About 97' 6 per cent of the coal supplies of India is obtained from the

Gondwana coal-fields and 2‘4 per cent from Tertiary beds.

The Baniganj field and the Jherria field are in the Damuda Valley and

produce 88 per cent of the total output. Ihe Baniganj field (where the first

Indian coal mine was opened in 1820) held the first place as regards procluctio

n

up to 1905, hut now stands second, its yield in 1913 having been 5,327,000 tons or

83 per cent of the year’s total production. It covers an area of about 500 square

miles, mostly within the district of Burdwan (Bengal), hut stretching also across

the boundaries into Bankura (Bengal), Manbhum and xhe Santhal Parganas

(Bihar and Orissa). The Jherria field in Bihar and Orissa, which was opened n

1893, went ahead of Baniganj in 1906, and it has succeeded m maintaining

the lead since that date, the output in 1913 being 8,609,000 tons (that is, 5. p

cent of the total production). Of the remaining fields in Bihar and On^a the

Giridih field, a small isolated patch to the north of the Damuda all )

,

produced in 1913, 807,000 tons or 5 per cent of the total. The Daitongan]

field, further west in the Palamau district, was opened m 1901 ;it yielded m

1913, 85,300 tons. The quantity so far obtained from the remaining three fields

has been limited. As regards the Bajmahal coal-field, work had been disconti-

nued since the opening of the Railway to Baniganj, but was resumed

in 1897. Its output in 1913 was 3,600 tons..

In. the Bamgarh-Bokaro

field, lying immediately to the west of Jherria m the Damuda Valley,

mining was begun in 1908, and its yield in 1910 was.

2,200 tons, rising

to 5,300 tons in 1912 but decreasing to about 3,000 tons m the year under

review. The Sambalpur field was opened for the first time m 1909 and its

production rose from 800 tons in 1910 to 42,800 tons in 1913. These seven

coal-fields accounted for 92 per cent of the coal raised m India m 1918.

Owing to the wide extent of these fields, the fair quality of coal which, they

contain, and their comparative nearness to the sea-coasts, this proportion is not

likely to decrease in the near future.

Outside Bengal, and Bihar and Orissa, the most important mine is the Singa-

reni. Work was begun at Singareni near Yellunda in the Nizam s [Dominionsm1887, and progress has been more rapid than in any other place outside Bengal

3

and Bihar and Orissa, the average annual production during the last ten yearshaving been some 469,000 tons. Its output in 1913 was 552,000 tons. TheBallarpur mine in the Chanda district was opened in 1904 to take the place of

the Warora Colliery which was closed down in 1906, and the work of extractingcoal began seriously in 1908. The output that year was 45,000 tons

;in 1911

it rose to 96,600 tons, falling to 79,700 tons in 1913. The Umaria mine in theReyvah State in Central India was started in 1884. Its progress was steady upto the year 1903, when the maximum production of 193,300 tons was reached

;

since then there has been a retrogression and the output in 1913 was 149,000tons. In the Central Provinces, the Molipani and Pench Valley fields lie

respectively at the northern and southern fringes of the Satpura range. Theformer is situated in the Is arsingpur district in the south of the Nerbuddaalluvial valley. The old mine was opened in 1860 and was abandoned in 1902after all the available coal—some 460,000 tons in the aggregate—had beenraised from it. The new Molipani mine has been worked by the Great IndianPeninsula Railway Company since 1904, and its output was in 1913, 64,900tons. The Pench Valley field in the Chhindwara district was opened in

1905 ; its yield rose from 1,100 tons in 1905 to 90,700 tons in 1912, butdecreased slightly to 89,800 tons in 1913.

Next with reference to Tertiarv or cretaceous coal-beds. The most im-portant of these are in north-east Assam, where the Makum coal-fields havebeen worked since 1882, and coals obtained have a remarkably low percentageof ash and a high calorific value. Qhe output was 270,900 tons in 1913. Nextin rank of importance come the Khost mines on the Sind-Pishin Railway in

Baluchistan and the Salt Range mines of the Punjab;both have been worked

now for twenty-seven years, but their production in 1913 was only 45,600tons and 51,000 tons respectively. The coal produced at Palana in the BikanerState is really a dark brown lignite, and its production during recent years has

been restricted in consequence of special precautions necessary to preventunderground fires. Its production in 1913 was 18,800 tons in comparisonwith 18,200 tons in the previous year.

In table 2, pages 13—19, are shown the production and location of each

mine for the last three years as also the name (so far as it has been possible to

ascertain it) of the present owner.

3.— Coal Trices.

The value of the coal produced in India is reported annually by mine-owners. It represents the actual or estimated wholesale price of coal at

the pit’s mouth. The average value, as thus defined, of all the coal produced

in each province in India in each of the last thirteen years is given in Table 3,

page 20. In 1913 the average value was R3-8, the same as in the years 1907

and 1909. The lowest value, namely, R2-8 per ton, was that of 1905 and the

highest (R3-15) that in the boom of 1908, when demand kept ahead of

supply.

The marginal table compares the average

value at pit’s mouth of Indian coal with

the declared export value per ton in each

of the last five years. The declared export

value is nearly three times the value at the

pit’ 8 mouth. The total estimated value of

the output in 1913 was R570 lakhs as

against R496 lakhs in 1912.

R a.

With the above average value may be compared the values at the pit’s

mouth of coal in foreign countries as shown in the margin (the figures repre-

sent the average of the five years ending

1912). In comparing the average value of

the coal raised in different countries, it mustbe remembered that this value is affected bymany circumstances, such as the quality of

the coal, its accessibility, the machinery in

use, nearness to the surface, etc., besides the

differences in the cost of labour and transport. In India, the coal now being

Labour

worked is near the surface, and labour may be said to be cheap. Indian coal,

therefore, has a lower value at the pit’s mouth than the coal of any other

country. After India, the value is lowest in the United States and in South

Africa. Of the principal coal-producing countries in Europe, the United King-

dom has the lowest average value at the pit’s mouth ; and South Africa has the

lowest average value of all places in the British Empire except India.

The cost per ton of production in India varies considerably in the different

coal-fields. The variation in the Eaniganj field is from El-14 to B2-8 and in

the Jherria field from El-8 to E2. In the Giridih field the cost per ton is stated

to be about E2-4 per ton. In the fields of Central India and the Central

Provinces the rate varies from E2-8 to E5-10 per ton, whilst in the Punjab

very much higher rates prevail.

The comparative average prices per ton of Bengal coal at Calcutta and of

Indian and Welsh coal at Bombay and Karachi since 1901 are shown in table 4,

page 20. The figures are taken in the ease of Bombay from the Bombay Market

Beport and in the case of Calcutta and Karachi from the Brices Current of the

respective Chambers of Commerce. In 1913 there was a general rise in prices

of both Indian and Welsh coal at all the three ports mentioned above. In 1914

prices (average for the twelve months ending .December) of Indian coal rose

further at Calcutta, but those at Bombay and Karachi for both Indian and

Welsh coal fell.

In order to get an idea of the com-parative prices of Bengal coal in the prin-

cipal centres of industry in India, the

freight has to be added to the f.o.r. prices.

The marginal table shows the freight per

ton of coal for full wagon loads at owners’

risk (owners to load and unload) from the

Eaniganj and Jherria fields in 1913.

The average freight per ton of coal

by sea from Calcutta during 1913 was as

stated in the margin. The rates were onthe whole lower than in 1912.

5.—Persons employed in the coal mining industry.

Table 5, page 21, shows the total number of men, women, and children

employed in coal mines in India during each of the last thirteen years. This

number represents the “ average daily attendance ” throughout the year, and is

obtained by dividing the total number of attendances by the number of working

days in each year. Coal-mining employs more labour than any other miningindustry, and will probably continue to do so for many years. In 1913, 144,966

persons were employed and were distributed among the various provinces as

The great proportion of those employed are the aboriginal Dravidians fromthe mountainous country of Chota Nagpur and the Central Provinces, but a

large number of other castes are employed, particularly in the outlying fields.

The majority of the workmen follow the vocation of agriculture as well as

mining, and return to their homes during the periods of sowing and reaping,

the result being that, at such times, the output of many of the mines is greatly

“restricted.

6.

—Output per person employed.

The statement is generally made that, compared with the efficiency of the

collier in other chief coal-producing countries, that of the Indian coal mineris low. The marginal statement, whichgives the output per person employed (1)

above and below ground and (2) belowground only in certain specified countries,

seems to confirm the contention (vide table

20, page 31). These comparisons havesome interest, but they cannot be supposed

to give an accurate idea of the relative

efficiency of the labour in the countries

Por not only do the conditions of the work below ground vary verygreatly, but the proportion of persons employed above and below ground is

different in different countries. In the United Kingdom, in 1912, the workersbelow ground were 81 per cent of the total number employed, while in the

same year in India, where mining operations are much nearer the surface, they

were 65 per cent.

The output of India in 1913 per

person employed is compared in the

marginal statement with the results of

the immediately preceding five years.

The Indian miner is still to some extent a

miner by caprice, and, as stated above, in

a year of agricultural prosperity the scarci-

ty of labour becomes acute. Epidemics of

cholera and other diseases are not infrequent and cause a shortage of labour.

As the workings get deeper the need of a mining population, which specialises

in mining, will become greater. The use of electricity on the coal-fields is ex-

tending—though capable of yet further utilization, particularly for haulage

and pumping—and the employment of mechanical coal cutting appliances will

be necessary where the seams are narrow and remote from the surface. Theuse of machinery, particularly during the last ten years, is rapidly extending.

At the larger collieries modern plants of good design are now the rule rather

than the exception. At the smaller mines, however, there is much need of

improvement.

The quantities of foreign coal imported into India from the principal

countries during the last twenty-three years are given in table 6, page 21. Eorthe first ten. years quinquennial averages have been given. The figures re-

present private merchandise only and do not include Government stores, the

imports of which amounted to 212,900 tons in 1913 as against 50,900 tons in

1912 and 21,400 tons in 1911. The greatest quantity imported in any

one year of the series was some 820,000 tons, valued at El,47,00,000,in the year 1894. The statistics for succeeding years are marked byconsiderable fluctuations. The year 1910 showed a considerable fall from490,000 tons in 1909 to 316,000 tons—a contraction of 174,000 tons

or 35 ’6 per cent. The arrivals in 1912 were on a scale unknown since

1895, the total amounting to 561,000 tons—an increase of 242,000 tons

or 76 per cent over the preceding year;

this is attributed to the fact

that high coasting freights and the congestion on Indian Eailways drove

coal users, more particularly in the west of India, to find fuel supplies abroad.

Exports

In 1913 the imports increased further by 84,000 tons or IS per cent to 615,000

tons, the largest on record since 1895. Bombay has naturally been the largest

importer, and Sind the second. The United Kingdom has always supplied

by far the greatest part of the imported coal. On the average of the twenty-

three years of the series, Australia holds the second place and Japan the third

with respective shares of 25,000 tons and 20,000 tons respectively. The imports

from Natal was insignificant until 1907. Natal, however, has now gone

ahead of both Australia and Japan. Imports from other countries

during the year 1913 aggregated 175,000 tons, of which Holland contributed

51,000 tons, Portuguese East Africa 78,000 tons, and the Transvaal 31,000 tons.

The countries that contributed to the increase were the United Kingdom,

Natal, Portuguese East Africa, and Transvaal. The United Kingdom sent to

India 185,000 tons in place cf 145,000 tons in the previous year. The arrivals

from Japan were the same as last year, namely, 97,200 tons. Imports from

Natal amounted to 136,700 tons in 1913 and were the heaviest recorded.

Natal’s share in 1912 was 96,000 tons and in 1911 some 15,000 tons. The

imports from Australia, which in 1912 amounted to 92,000 tons, declined to

51,000 tons in 1913.

The total quantity of Indian coal exported from India during the last

twenty-three years and the share taken by each of the principal importing

countries are shown in table 7, page 22. As in the case of statistics of imports,

quinquennial averages only are given for the first ten years. Bunker coal is

not included in this statement, which relates only to coal shipped as private

merchandise to foreign ports. The exports rose in proportion to the expansion

in production up to the year 1906 ;since then there was a progressive decline

in the ratio up to 1909. This decline was arrested in 1910 but there was

again a contraction—though a smail one— in the following three years. Onthe average of the seven years 1900 to 1906, the exports were 8 per cent of

the total production of Indian coal, as against 6 per cent on the average of the

succeeding seven years 1907 to 1913. In 1913 the ratio was 4‘7 per cent.

Almost all the coal shipped as private merchandise from India is sent from

Calcutta. Ceylon and the Straits Settlements are the two principal markets

for Indian coal, and of the total quantity shipped in 1913, 56T per cent was

declared for Ceylon, and 26 per cent for the Straits. Sumatra takes more coal

from India than formerly and is now India’s third-best customer (13‘5 per

cent). Erom 1902 to 1906 the total exports abroad increased rapidly till they

reached 1,003,000 tons in 1906. In 1907 there was a decrease to 658,000 tons,

which was ascribed to increased industrial activity in India itself ;and the ship-

ments in subsequent years were marked by fluctuations until 1910, when there

was a sharp rise to 988,000 tons, the increase being one of 424,000 tons or 75 per

cent, but in 1913 the shipments fell to 759,000 tons. On the whole the exports

from 1907 have not shown that expansion which might have been anticipated

owing to the uncertain quality of the coal exported, high freights, and the primi-

tive methods of shipment at the Calcutta docks, resulting in heavy depreciation

of coal.

The quantities of coal imported from different countries and entered for

home consumption in Ceylon and the Straits in each of the last ten years are

stated in table 14, page 28. This table, therefore, illustrates the position which

Indian coal holds in its two principal foreign markets as compared with its

rivals. The proportion (per cent) of imports from the principal countries is

In Ceylon, Indian coal has

but in the Straits Settlements,

Japan leads ; still it is worthyof note that in 1910 India has

taken the place of Australia as the second largest coal exporter to the Straits

and has since maintained that position. The quotations given in the marginrepresent the average of the prices (per

ton) quoted at Colombo and Singapore

during the year 1913. The price of

Indian coal is lowest in both ports.

8 .— Coal Consumption.

In table 8, page 22, is shown the total available supply of coal in India, which Distribution and

is arrived at by adding imports to the total production and subtracting exportsConsumptlon

therefrom; in 1913 the figure stood at 16,094,000 tons as compared with14,368,000 tons in 1912 and 11,797,000 tons fiwe years ago.

Tables 9 and 10, pages 23— 24, give the distribution of coal pro-

duced in the country and coal imported from abroad, and of the agencies by whichit is distributed. Calcutta uses Bengal and Bibar and Orissa coal exclusively.

The province of Bihar and Orissa is self-supporting. Bombay city derives its

supplies by sea from Bengal and from foreign countries in the proportion of

5 to 3, partly for its own consumption and partly for diffusion throughoutthe Bombay Presidency, which also receives considerable quantities by rail

from Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, and Hyderabad. Sind and Madras importmost of their coal by sea from Bengal, but the latter province also draws part of

its supply from Bihar and Orissa and Hyderabad. Assam, the United Provinces,

the Punjab, the Central Provinces, Bajputana, and Central India import the

bulk of the coal they require by rail and river from Bihar and Orissa and Bengal.Most of the coal consumed in Mysore comes mainly from the Bengal andBihar and Orissa mines. Burma gets its supply almost wholly from Bengaland Bihar and Orissa.

The supply available in the cities of Calcutta and Bombay and in eachprovince is given in table 11, page 24. The quantity available in Calcutta in

the year under review was "1\ million tons, while that in the city of Bombaywas only a little over a million tons

The statement in the margin gives

an estimate of the coal consumedduring 1913 in the various indus-

tries, etc., but the figures can only beregarded as approximate, and in the

case of some of the heads they repre-

sent a very rough estimate. IS early

a third of the total quantity of coal

produced in India is consumed byrailways (including railway work-shops).

Consumption on railways .—Table 12, page 24, shows the total quantity of

Indian and foreign coal and of wood consumed on all the railways in India in

each of the last twenty-four years. At the beginning of this period the total con-

sumption of coal was about 858,000 tons, of which foreign coal constituted nearly

One-fourth. Ten years jater the total consumption was If million tons, and

Indian coal represented nearly 95 per cent, thus marking a rapid and vigorous

displacement of foreign coal. In 1913-14 the total consumption was about 5

million tons and Indian coal represented 94 per cent. The railway consumption

of Indian coal averaged 33 per cent of the total quantity of coal produced in

India in the ten years ending 1899, 30 per cent in the ten years ending 1909,

32 per cent in 1910, 33 per cent in 1911, 31 per cent in 1912, and 29 per cent in

the year ending 31st March 1914. The consumption of wood as fuel on railways

has not decreased to such an extent as might have been expected during this

period, still the decrease has been fairly progressive, and in 1913-14 the quantity

used was 106,000 tons as compared with 326,000 tons in 1890. This amount

may be regarded as equivalent to 42,500 tons of coal, reckoning 2^ tons of wood

as equal to 1 ton of coal. Wood is still used largely on the Madras and Southern

p . Mahratta, the Burma, the North

ofToafper” Western, and the South Indianmile in tons Railways. The consumption of

coal in relation to the total mile-

age of Indian railways is compar-

ed with that of certain foreign

countries in the marginal state-

Capital employed

Bunker coal*—The shipments of bunker coal from Calcutta are far in

excess of those of any other port. They increased steadily up to 1908 hut in

1909 there was a set-hack, the figures being 888,500 tons as against 1,058,300

tons in the preceding year. In 1910 the shipments amounted to 904,700 tons,

but in 1911 they fell to 883,000 tons, rising again to 964,000 tons in 1912, and to

982,511 tons in 1913. Tor the other ports exact figures haye not been recorded.

Indian coal is consumed on steamers of almost all the lines that touch at Indian

ports. In some cases it is mixed with Welsh coal, hut more often it is used

unmixed.

Inland steamers—The total reported figure comes to about 555,000 tons

a year;but there are many smaller companies and steamers in Bengal, Assam,

and Burma, as well as in other parts of India, whose consumption it has not

been possible to ascertain.

Cotton mills.—In the case of cotton mills, only 61 out of 262 mills have

sent in reports. In the case of mills which haye furnished no returns, estimates

haye been made on the basis of the number of looms and spindles at work.

Tea gardens.—On many tea estates wood is the only or chief fuel employed.

Brick and Tile manufacture.—It is probable that from 7 to 10 per cent of

the total amount of raisings is used in the brick and tile industry, but no com-

plete statistics of this industry are available.

Other forms of industrial and domestic consumption.—There are no

means at present of framing an accurate estimate of how the balance of

3 6 million tons is consumed. Cotton presses and jute presses no doubt account

for a considerable proportion. Excluding indigo factories and premises used

solely for the purposes of tea and coffee plantations, there are, in addition

many other factories worked by steam and a considerable number of other

concerns too small to be included in the factories return. Many of those use

fuel other than coal, wholly or in part, but it may be assumed that the greater

portion of the balance of 3’6 million tons of coal must be debited to industrial

consumption and only a small part to domestic consumption.

The growth of the coal-mining industry

may be roughly gauged from the mar-ginal table, showing the number of Joint-

Stock Coal Companies and their total paid-

up capital. The total amount of capital em-ployed in the coal-mining industry cannotbe stated, as reports are received from Joint-Stock Companies only, and the capital

employed by private individuals and syndicates is not known. There Avere 129

Joint-Stock Companies at work in Bengal and 4 in Bihar and Orissa on the 31st

March 1914. A list of these with the amount of their authorised and paid-up

capital and the debentures issued is given in Table No. 13, pages 25—27. These

Companies accounted for 76 per cent of the total output of the Bengal and Bihar

and Orissa coal-fields in 1913. Outside Bengal and Bihar and Orissa there were

only nine Joint-Stock Companies at work during the year. Only seven of coal

Companies at work on the 31st March 1914 have a paid-up capital (exclusive of

debentures) of R 15,00,000

(£100,000) or more, as shownin the margin. There are

twenty others, each of

which has a paid-up capital of

than 3115,00,000.

again have paid small dividends.

10.—Comparative Statistics.

The production, exports, imports, and the balance left for consumption, of

coal in India and Japan from 1891, are compared in table 15, page 28. In the

first period of the quinquennial average of the series the production of coal in Ind,a aad rapan

Japan was about a million tons more than that of India. Since then the produc-

tion of Japan has gone ahead and now exceeds that of India by nearly 4,765,000

tons. As regards foreign import trade, India, as already noted, diminished her

imports steadily till eight years ago, since when a revival has set in. Imports

into Japan, under normal conditions, have been inconsiderable in comparison

with India and are now nearly 568,000 tons. Production in Japan has always

exceeded the requirements of internal consumption, leaving a considerable

surplus for export ;while India has little to spare, her net exports being only

114,000 tons. The quantity left for internal consumption was about the same

(nearly 11 million tons) in both countries in 1907. In 1908 India retained

about two-thirds of a million tons more than did Japan, but from 1909 the quan-

tity retained for consumption in Japan has always exceeded that in India, the

excess in 1913 amounting to If million tons. The marginal table shows the

estimated internal consumption of coal in Japan in the three years 1910 to 1912.

The figures exclude bunker coal.

These figures may be comparedwith estimates of the consump-tion of coal in India given onpage 7. The freight per mile for

coal carried by Indian railways

to the places mentioned on page 4 is about 2 pies per ton per mile, except

in the case of Howrah (in close proximity to Calcutta), where the rate comes

to 3* pies per mile. The average rate of freight for coal on Japanese railways

is 5’4 pies per ton per mile.

The production of other countries in the East, namely, China, Australia, Other Eastern

New Zealand, Dutch East Indies, Indo- China, Eormosa, British Borneo, and countries

Korea, and also of Natal, is shown in table 16, page 28. The figures are for the

years 1911 and 1912, as far as information is available. The figures for China

are incomplete, Australia produces about 12 million tons a year, New Zealand

about 2 million tons, and Natal about 2\ million tons. The production in other

Tables 17, 18, 19 and 20, pages 29—31, give comparative statistics of the British Empire and

production, value, and consumption of coal, and the labour employed in the Foreign country

coal-mining industry in the different parts of the British Empire and in the prin-

cipal foreign countries for a series of years. Annual figures for the past three or

five years with quinquennial averages for earlier years have been shown in these

tables. The figures of production in all these tables exclude lignite. In 1875

the United Kingdom actually produced nearly one half of all the coal produced in

the World (133 million tons). The United States and the German Empire, the

most important coal producers after the United Kingdom, had an output between

(a) Year ended 28ik February 1314

( b ) „ „ 31st January 1914

10

them of less than 100 million tons. In 1885, while the British output had risen

to nearly 160 million tons, that of the "United States had reached nearly 100million tons, haying more than doubled in ten years. The German output hadalso greatly increased, and reached about 60 million tons. In the following

decade the British output again rose, but it was nearly equalled by that of

America, while that of Germany had risen to about 79 million tons. By 1906the United Kingdom was completely outdistanced by the United States, whichthen produced 350 million tons of coal against 236 million tons of the UnitedKingdom. The German output had also greatly risen, and amounted to some137 million tons. The latest figures are for 1912. In that year, while theBritish output had risen to 260 million tons, it was still further outdistanced by477 million tons of the United States, while Germany had crept nearerwith an output of 172 million, tons. The total production of coal in the "World

in 1912 was about 1,100 million tons, and of this about 900 million tons or

83 per cent was produced in the United States, the United Kingdom, andGermany. The production in the other principal countries in 1912 was as

follows (in millions of tons) :—France 40, Bussia 26 (1911), Belgium 23, Japan19, India 16 (1913), Austria-Hungary 15 (1911), Canada 13, Australia 12.

India’s production is, therefore, the largest supply in the British Empire ex-

cluding the United Kingdom.As in the case of production, the consumption of coal is highest in the

United States (459 million tons in 1912), followed by the United Kingdom (175million tons) and Germany (141 million

tons). The output and consumption per

head of the imputation in the principal coal

consuming countries of the world in 1912are stated in the margin. It will be seenthat the consumption of coal per headin a country does not necessarily varyaccording to production, and in India the

production as well as the consumption per
