) TRADE REPORTS. CARDIFF. Daring: the past week the coal trade in all departmrjats has displayed a rigorous tone. and with a good supply of tonnage at hand exporter/ have shipped heavily on contract account and in the execution of orders booked some time ago. The demand for steam COll. coth for prompt and early shipment, has been very brisk, and now that colliery stems are practically full to the end of the year orders are difficult to place, and prices as a conse- quence are steadily advancing. In the email coal trade the supply has fallen far short of the requirements; and quotations have appreciably advanced. Alonmouthshire semi- bituminous coals, lar;e and small, have been very scarce, and for shipment at Cardiff best I large has realised 163 and best smalls 10s per ton. Gc-11siderable pressure has been also experienced in the honse coal trade. Best households ranged from 16s 6d to 173 6d, and No. 2 Rhondda large has been in strong demand for bunkering purposes at 14s to 14s 3d per ton. loss the usual discount. The patent fuel and coke trades have been also brisk, and recent values are re a consequence firrniy upheld.

NEWPORT. The steam coal market during the past week has displayed great activity. Inquiries for large have been pressing and numerous, and quotations have advanced 9d to Is per ton. Colliery stems are well filled to the end of the year, and quotations for January ship- ment are also firmly made. In the house coal trade business is steadily improving, the demand fr.an inland consumers being excep- tionally gcori. '1 he patent fuel and i- )ke markets are a eo healthy and buoyant. The following are approxi- mate quotations- — Best Monmouthshire iarge 1Sg 9d to lis, e-conds bis Sd to lbs; small 9s 9d to ICe, seconds 8s 9j to 9s; house coal 15s 6d to 178 6d. seconds 15s to 16s; patent fuel 14s ill to 153 ód, according to brand; coke IS? to.23s, according to quality: pitwood 173 Sd to 13s, ex; ship; iron ore—i v, _> 14s to 143 3d, Tafna 15s to 15s 6d, and A.miria 14s 6d.

The local trade outlook continues to be very gloomy, and until something is revealed cf th9 real and definite intentions of the company matters arc iikely to r3:«rin in a more or less unsettled state. The past week was inaugu- rated with the closing down of the Ifor Works mills, in spite ot the general belief that "day- to-day'' contracts would be put into operation, and the procedure was a serious turn of events for the hundreds of workmen discharged in consequence, although the hope is held that ultimately it may be to the betterment of tha place. A good deal of mystery enshrouds the stoppage, but the impending visit of Mr. Arthur Keen (the chairman) and Mr. K Windsor Richards is regarded as an augury of an early pronouncement concerning developments. The mills in the Old Works were running steadily throughout the week, and little occurred to interfere with the regu- larity of employment. The Goat Mill was the most productive, and the returns reached a good figure. Several large lots of steel rails were handled and'consigned to distant destina- tions. With the "C" Cogging Mill once more in full activity, the new Bessemer department suffered nothing on account of enforced idle- ness, and a marked uniformity of operation prevailed. The services of numbers of aid workmen are being dispensed with in the Old Works to find room for some of the hands rendered idle by the closing of the Ifor Works. In the last-named section of the establishment only the engineers, fitters, and other "trades- men" employed at the "shops" have been retained since the stoppage, and they are fairly busily engaged. It is freely asserted that the whole of the Ifor branch will be entirely re-modelled and renewed by the erec- tion of a new and thoroughly up-to-date plant to re-place the existing machinery, and when it is considered that the ground is freehold property, whereas the Old Wrorks stands on leasehold, there is good reason for believing that the company will utilise so valuable a site to the best possible advantage. Work at the collieries was unincidental, with an increased output on the previous week. Some dissatis- faction still exists in respect to the new agree- ment under which the miners at the East Side (Ehae Las) No. 1 Pit, Bedlinog, resumed employment recently after their twenty weeks' strike, but it is hoped that any further rupture will be averted and the pointB of difference amicably arranged. The men, num- bering about 150 all told, who ceased work- owing to the closing of the old coal and clay level a week ago have in the majority cf cases found places in the collieries. The minority, composed of aged workmen, are the greatest sufferers, and find a difficulty in securing berths. LLAN~ELLY. The present year will end, as it began, with the general trade of LlaneLy in a very flourish- ing condition. Reports from the various works ehow that there is no lack of orders, and that the prospect for tho immediate future is re-assuring. The tin-plate trade is in a very satisfactory state, the drop in prices which set in a few weeks ago having been arrested before it went far. In some quarters it is believed that there are breakers ahead in tho steel trade, aid that any trouble in that industry is bound to affect the ffn-plate trade adversely. American bars continue to be landed in Wales at what are locally regarded aa impossible prices, and one result of this is that the Welsh manufacturers are clamour- ing for a reduction in wages. In the meantime, however, the Llanelly steelworks &r->, experiencing a very busy time, every avail- able ton being wanted by the local tin-plate works. Reports from the various collieries make very exhilarating reading. A very great development has taken place in the Llangennech district recently, several new collieries having been opened. The only difficulty is the housing of the additional men who have been attracted to the place. The resnit is that a large number of men employed at Llanyennech have to reside some miles away from the place. One of the most sue cessful of the new collieries is the Mwrwg Vale, where a splendid eeam of coal has been struck, for which a ready French market has 1. en found. A large quantity of the coal is being shipped at Swansea just now, but this will only continue as long as the Llanelly new dock is without an entrance. Once that dock is opened for traffic (this being promised for May) Swansea will lose the shipment of coa.1 from the Llanelly district, wh'ch it has acquired owing to the absence of shipping faci- lities at Llanelly. i
