US coal distribution to domestic and foreign markets totaled 880.5 million short tons in 1985, only 1.0% less than the record amount of coal distributed in 1984.

Stocks of coal held by producers and distributors on December 31, 1985, were 33.1 million short tons, only 1.0 million short tons less than those held one year earlier.
