Hull and the Yorkshire Coal Trade In 1883.

During the month of December, notwithstanding the disturbed condition of the coal trade, a satisfactory quantity of coal was sent to the port of Hull from the Yorkshire collieries. The total forwarded during the month was 105,672 tons, as compared with 102,069 tons during December, 1882, or an increase of 3,603 tons, which, although only a slight increase, affords encouragement in the fact that it maintains the steady improvement which has taken place during the past five years.
