The ini* rente in 1012 was 7.64 per cent m i|iraulity ami 10.75 per efcnt in value. In spite of this increase the produc inn of coke in West Virginij in 11)12 was smaller than lir.it cf any ycai from 11)05 -to I'.HO. The smaller proliirticn in the last two years is attributable simply to the larger produclion of Col.c from West Virginia coal at plants in oilier slates, in 1012 the iiuuillty cf coal made into coke in tVcst Virginia wag 1,061,701 short tons Ii is probable that the quantity oi West. Virginia coal made Into coke in ovens outside of the state exceeded " ,000,000 short ions. In the coke making as in the coal-mining industry West Virginia suffers from having lelaiivcljr little home consumption for her product. Kiglitv per cent of the i-oal mined in the state and nearly ail of the coke made is sent to consnmtrs In other states. Next to Pennsylvania. West Virginia possesses more wealth in supplies of coking and other high-grade coals than any other state in the t'nioii, but is long as both the coal and the < oke ecutinue to he shipped out of tha stale. West Virginia will not attain I he position she should occupy as a manufacturing state, nor will the miners of ecal and makers of coke rereive a just return for these products. At the present time, ranking second Us a producer of coal and third in the production of coke. West Virginia stands thirty-lourih in the valuo of Ucr nr: n ii fa.* lured products.
