EFFECT OF PRICE CUTTING
BRITISH COAL EXPORTS DECLINE. (British Official Wireless). Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, July 17. The Secretary of Mines, Mr. Ernest Brown, referred in the House of Commons to the serious effect of the price cutting campaign in foreign countries. The Mines Department, he said, believed that the only permanent solution was to be found in international agreements between coal producers. The mines exported 76,000,000 tons in the last six months of 1929 and this figure had dropped to 53,000,000 tons. The latest returns, those _ for the last six months of this year, showed an increase of about 500.000 tons on the corresponding period of 1933.
