Coal distribution, January-September 1987. [Contains Glossary]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5633265
US coal distribution to domestic and foreign markets totaled 675.8 million short tons from January through September 1987. This was 1.6% more than the 665.2 million short tons distributed during the same period of 1986. Shipments exceeded production slightly as producers and distributors reduced their stockpiles to meet an increased demand for coal by domestic users. Production and/or purchases of coal in the United States reached 672.7 million short tons during January through September 1987, exceeding by 1.1% the 665.6 million short tons produced in the comparable period of 1986. During the third quarter of 1987 (July-September), distribution of coal totaled 237.6 million short tons or 2.2% more than production of 232.5 million short tons, and coal stocks dropped to 28.7 million short tons at the end of September. 6 figs., 33 tabs.
