Tho Coal Question.

There were very few loads of coal at the
market during the intensely cold days of last
week, and the demand was large. The prices
asked were simply uaconsionabie They were to
those entirely out Of fuel, iabsolute robbery. The
highwayman meets his victim at place beyond
all chance for succor, and presenting his revolver
says: "Your money or yeur Lift" " The traveller,
it is true, has the alternative of saving his life
by delivering up his money, or losing both. The
coal dealer says to the ahivering citizen "Your
money or your life"-i e., buy my coal at
extor.iuonate rates or freeze !" Out of curiosity,
on Tuesday last, we interviewed one of those
charitable coal dealors-fellows who lounge
around in the shade in the summer, and occasion.

create steady demand for their coal at home
The only way to do this is to keep constant
supply at some central or easily accessible point
in Ottawa aud a: all seasons Of the year TO sell at
reasonable price. In order to secure . steady
custom, they should give good weightor measure,

were to come here and establish first class
