coal shippers said yesterday that he had 80

to supply steamers TO I'LL contracts. He took a
gloomy view OF the situation and believed II the
railroad transportation trouble continued ten
days longer few. Il any. of the steamers trading
with Baltimore Will be able 10 get coal and Will
have To stop unless they bring supplies from
other places-from what ones he did not know.
Twenty ilv" vessels ars in port chartered to load
coal. and charges OF dcmurrage for detention,
averaging $50 a day for each. will be exa''ted.
The demurrnge alone will be u heavy item in
the losses. Eight or ten vessels are on the
berhs To load petroleum for Europe; but there
Is no OIL for them. and the lnborers required to
lond them are out Of work, The contract to send
out these cnrgOes cannot be filed. Demurrage
charges rs high as $500 day will be the result.
and there Is "A probability that some shippers
Will abandon the contracts altogether, rather
than meet the losses which detention may
entail
At Locust Point. along the coffee salt. and
