the retiring distributor
feels that stored tonnage, which
amounted to 40,000.000 tons Decem
her 1. might be somewhat increaa
er, weather conditions remaining
fairly favorable.
"That the carrier# co-operated to
the fullest extent is evidenced by
the increased production," the re
port says, "when consideration is
given to the fact that they them
selves were still suffering from the
ravages of the shopmen's strike
and Hie further fact that, during
this period, offerings of tonnage of
all character were extremely large."
Bituminous production in 1921
was 415,000.000 tons. The produc
ti^n In.' 1932 up to ahd Including
December' 16 was 387.152.040 tons.

th© 1922 output of »aft coal
will nearly equal that of 1921. not
withstanding the long auspenslon of
work in tha coal fields.
There is no prospect, Mr. Spens
says, that anthracite production will
exceed 60 per cent, of last year's
output. At that, production had in
creased in the Pennsylvania field
from 50.000 ton» for the week of
September 9, to 2.200,000 tons for
the week of December 16. During
the week of December 16, 1921, only
1,637,000 lone of anthracite was
produced.
In thia connection . the retiring
fuel distributor answers the com
plaint that Canada Is getting

as American communitiea are re

supply. He »hows that Canada was

and that later this allotment was

WASHINGTON, Tan. 1 .—An ocon-j
omlc review of the world for the
year Just ended and a forecast for
3 923 was issued yesterday by Her
bert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce. The review recounts prog
teas in (he restoration of normal
business conditions in most sections
of the world and the forecast speaks
hopefully of the prospects for fur
(her progress in that direction in the
year beginning tomorrow.
The menace nt Bolshevism. Mr
Hoover states, has subsided in the
12 -month period reviewed by him.
and eve
Russia h«s been di»
played by a mixture of socialism and
individualism. Famine and distress
are held to ba less pronounced than
at any previous time since the end
ing of the war.
Stales the unemployment problem
has been solved, and our foreign
trade is describing an upward carve.
Everywhere but In Europe the world
ha» shaken Itself free from the great
after-war slump the Secretary df
Commerce asserts, while in Europe
England and the neutral states have
improved, economically.
"The odds for 1923," he conclud
ed, "are favorable. The world be
gins the year with greater economic
strength than a year ago."
Mr. Hoover's optimistic forecast
In the United
for 1923 was echoed by the United
States Chamber of Commerce, the
Shipping Board and other agencies
in touch with the country's business
condition. The Chamber of Com
merce mad© public the report of its
committee on statistics and stand
ards declaring business generally to
be on th© upward trend.
Mr. Hoover's statement follows:
"In the large view the world has
made distinct economic progress
during th* pest year and the condi
tions are very favorable to continu
ed progress during 1 923. There «re
in exception three or four »tsr.es In
Europe whlbh give continued anx
iety, hut these exceptions should not
obscure the profound forces of prog
ress elsewhere over the whole world.
In the main, even in these areas of
uncertainty, the trouble» are to a
large degree fiacal and political rath
er than commercial and industrial.
"During the year the world gen
erally ha.s gained in social stability.
Bolshevism has diminished greatly,
end even In Russia has been re
placed by a mixture of socialism
and individualism. Active war has
ceased for the first time »ince 3 93 4:
famine and distress have diminished
to much less numbers this winter
than at any time since the great
w«r began; production has increas
ed greatly during th© past year; un
employment Is less in w

tice; international commerce Is In

orally is purchasing its commodities
by the normal exchange of service
,-orId totals
and goods, a fact which In itself
marks an enormous step toward re
covery from the strained movetnemA
of credit .and gold which followed
the war.
"In our country unemployment
has ceased to be a problem, and we

are indeed upon an
of comparatively great comfort in]
every direction except for the log of
recovery of some branches of agri
culture. Even in thia field there has
been a distinct improvement in
prices in the past 12 months, and its
troubles are mostly due to over
production in some Unes. Our man
