Coal Trade

5 Volumes

Early in the century the main problems concerning the coal trade centred on the supplying of the fuel to the larger cities, particularly London, the methods used to determine the value of coal, and the payment of coal duties. By the 1870s, the central point was to determine just how much coal was still left to be mined and how wastage could be avoided - in general, how to make the coal trade, both domestically and internationally, more efficient. During this same period the increasing price of coal was also studied in its relation to miners’ wages and greater industrial demands for the fuel.
