For the period January through September 1986, coal production totaled 671.2 million short tons, a 1.1% increase over the 664.2 million short tons produced during the same period of 1985. Also during January through September 1986: Appalachian and Interior Region coal production increased 3.6 and 6.7%, respectively as compared with January through September 1985; Western Region coal production decreased 6.6% as compared with January through September 1985; the average price of all US coal exports increased slightly, reaching $46.03 per short ton; coal consumption at coke plants decreased 9.8% (3.1 million short tons); and consumer coal stocks at the end of September 1986 were 164.5 million short tons, the lowest end-of-quarter level since the coal-strike-induced figure (158.3 million short tons) for the quarter ending June 1981. The 1.1% increase in coal production for the first 9 months of 1986 versus the comparable period in 1985 was the net result of significant production increases in the Appalachian (11.4 million short tons) and Interior (9.4 million short tons) Regions versus a large decrease in the Western Region (13.7 million short tons). During the first 9 months of 1986, US coal exports totaled 65.1 million short tons, a 5.1% (3.5 million short tons) decrease from their corresponding 1985 level. Most of the decline was due to metallurgical coal exports which fell 2.8 million short tons. US coal exports for the first three quarters of 1986 were valued at $3.0 billion. 13 figs., 62 tabs.
