HIGH PRICE. OF COALS.

TO THE RIGHT NON: 'HE LORD MAYOR AND

COURT OF A LDERME

The public of the Metropolis, and the Manu-
facturers, being large consumers of coals, are under great ob-
ligation to you for the inquiry you are causing to be made In
the present high prices.
The great evil now complained of, I am fully persuaded,
arises from the inadequate number of coal-meters.
During several of the summer months, when the prices of
coals were at a low rate, the pit-owners in the North restrict-
ed their vends, so that it was not uncommon for the ships to lay
several weeks waiting for their turn of being loaded: and if,
on the middle of a month, the colliery had delivered the quan-
tity agreed upon to be delivered in that month, the ship must
watt until the following month, when its turn came round for
loading.--This, of course, soon brought a great demand for
coals in London, as the market became badly supplied ;
when • speculators were soon found on the coal-market,
who discovered they could keep up high prices, as the
demand being great, and that they could, from the want of
meters, calculate what time it would require to work out the I
ships, front the small number,.compared with the demand, of
meters on the establishment. Thus the Coporation have been
seconding the views of the coal-owners, and compelling the
ship-owner to require a larger freightage from the delays he
has been subject to, or relinquish the trade. Having made a
complaint, permit me to suggest a remedy—That the Corpora-
tion do appoint a supernumerary set of coal-Meters, upon the
plan adopted by the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs
respecting landing waiters and other officers; that when ships
arrive in fleets, In order to prevent delay, give. employment
to eupernumeraries; and I think it cannot be denied that
the large consumers and the poor Inhabitants of the metropolis
have a right to ask of the Corporation of the City of London,
what would be demanded by the Merchants ofthe Commission-
ers of his Majesty's Customs, viz. officers to deliver their ships
on arrival. 1 airs, respectfully, &c. P.
P. S. There are at this time nearly aiio sail of ships in the
about 70,000 ehaldron coals, waiting for
mrhieetersr, containing about
them, besides 108 at work, which of course
have meters.
