The Coat QUESTION The New York
journal OF Commerce, which is excel
lent authority in any business aud com
commercial questions, speaks as follows
TO coal consumers
Our special correspondent went to
Philadelphia and travelled at large, for
the purpose Of Investigation, aud found
every place to use his own language
'chock full Of coal, and the holders ex-
hibitlng neither patience nor resigna-
ton under the existing apathy OF buy
ers Meantime let us keep before the
people that the winter Of 1868 was
not severe, that there was more coal
than usual left over, and that in spite
OF the strikes Of which SO much has
been said, more coal has been delivered
from the mines thus far in 1869 than
for the corresponding period of 1865
We hope every consumer will pur-
chase by the ton for twelve months if
necessary before submitting to the ex-
tortion that has been attempted. This
spirit will certainly triumph at last.
