"In Routt County the mines have in recent times followed the practice of reducing their forces in periods of dull market and of working every day underground when the tipple works only one, two, three days a week. As the figure of days worked rep nts tipple time, the result is not comparable with the returns for other counties, and the average for the State is affected also.

No general canvass of wagon mines for 1921. GEORGIA Georgia reported an output in 1923 that was almost one-fourth greater than that of 1922 and the largest since 1917, and although the coal mining in this State is in some years limited to one operation there has been no break in the record for the State since 1860, the year it first reported a coal production. The output for 1923 was 75,620 tons, valued at $327,000, an increase in quantity of 14,984 tons and in value of $81,000. The mines were not in operation as . many days but there were more employees than in the preceding year.

The output in 1923 was 20,842,339 tons, or 35.6 per cent, greater in quantity than in 1922, and $29,463,000, or 17.4 per cent, greater in value. The average value, however, was less than in 1921 or 1922. The mines worked on an average of only 158 days in 1923. For the first two months of the year car shortage was the principal cause of idleness claimed by the operators; after that no market restricted the activity of the mines. Very little time was lost on account of mine disability or labor shortage or strikes. In Figure 47 is shown the average tonnage produced per day by years from 1918 to 1922 and by months for 1923; and also the scale of spot prices per ton for southern, central, and standard Illinois coal for the same period.

Data from Tables 78 and 79; spot prices as quoted by Coal Age conditions of the market in 1923. In January the after-effects of the strike of 1922 were still felt. Consumers were buying to replenish their stocks, prices were high, and production was running at the limit of car supply. Continued purchasing for storage made the summer decline less sharp than usual. By late fall consumers had rebuilt their reserves, the peak of fall buying was correspondingly less pronounced, and in December prices were still softening and mines beginning to close. 263, 879 119, 909 581. 259 51, 496 6, 639 9, 160 125, 375 Bond, Johnson, and White. .
