SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts discontinues two weekly Illinois Basin assessments

Friday, September 25, is the final day Platts will publish prices for two weekly Illinois Basin thermal coal assessments.

Due to evolving market conditions, Platts believes there is no longer sufficient interest or an appreciable market to accurately assess the following products:

* Illinois Basin 10,500 Btu/lb, 6+ lbs SO2/MMBtu, FOB Rail coal; affected codes are CIDQ001, CIDQ002, CIDQ003 and CIDY001.

* Illinois Basin 11,500 Btu/lb, 2.5 lbs SO2/MMBtu, FOB Rail coal; affected codes are CAJQ001, CAJQ002, CAJQ003 and CAJY001.
