  Sounds a bit like that event back in the early 70s Gary, though I can`t remember exactly what happened. There was a documentary on the tv at the time about it. It involved the world`s wheat output, whereby it was discovered too late of an acute shortage worldwide and that Russia had cornered the market and been snapping up huge stocks. I`m sure someone on here may remember that. Going back to the coal, it was sad that a couple of recent steam special`s over here wound up failing and being cancelled due to poor quality Russian coal. A sad state of affairs when you remember that Kent produced some of the best steam coal around.
