The Hull Coal Trade
Reduced August Tonnage
The usual monthly return shows a slight decrease. The August tonnage this year amounted to 308,752 tons, as against 320,640 tons last year, a difference of 11,888 tons, or just under four per cent.
The greater portion of the coal dealt with at Hull comes from the South Yorkshire area, such pits as Denaby, Aldwarke Main, Hickleton, etc., being large contributors.
