"Pre-war production amounted to| 4i tens ", says the Chemical Society's corespondent, pointing out! that the statistics are all the more im-, portant because the synthetic amon.a and alcohol industries find their raw materials in the coke obtained from the coal. I "In ISIS, the production was J2.»08-i dOfi tons in 1923. it amounted to 33...’.4’ ’ tons, and finally in 1924 this reached 44 95." V’ c tons, a figure which exceeds that of pre-war The produc-, tien in those portions of France which were not devastated remains appre- . ;ably the same as it was before the : war. while cm the other hand, the e«*l ‘ eids of the Nord and of the Pas-de-j Calais surpass considerable the prewar production. “The consumption in France in ’.923 amounted to t'T.S’A'.ecst tons At the ■-vsent tir..< it > 71.vC• euo tons The imports are especially from Germany the itu;.. rts frvtn Fng and and Bel having decreased when cvtnpar ed » th those of previous years.

In France there is on y one general freight rate which takes no account of the relative value of the merchandise nor 01 the geographic distribution of the mines er of the consuming works "This subjects the chemical works which are situated at a distance from the mine centers to increase in the price of fuel due to transportation charges, and this may occasionally in j crease the prices of manufacture to such an extent as to be quite prohibi nve.
