The scarcity Of coal In the District has become
quite a serious matter with many OF our citizens,
and this necessary article OF fuel is sadly needed
The cause which has led to the exhaustion of
the supply, without any prospect of rcpl enishing

close Of navigation. Whilst the Potomac river

The early closing Of the Potomac prevented
orders for coal which had been made upon the
Philadelphis and Havre-de-Cirace dealers by our
coal merchants from being FULFILLED and the coal
delivered, and the fault does not attach to the
latter. We are ourselves aware OF the fact that
in the early part of December last one prominent
firm of this city made II large demand upon A
Havre de-Grace merchant, who procrastinated in
the delivery until the closing Of the Potomac
made II impossible. II the winter had been mild
navigation would have been free and without
impeachment, and the result probably have been
that coal dealers would have had larger sur
plus on hand than would be desirable, and also
with the knowledge that II had been procured at
high rates and high freghts
Coal Is now being procured at Baltimore and
supplied here by cars, and II Is said to be exceed
