BALTIMORE, July 25.-The supplies of
bitumiuous coal are being exhausted,
One of the largest coal shippers said yes
terday he had secured loan from another
6rm, enough coal to supply steamers and
to fill contracts. He took a gloomy view of
the situation, and believed if the railroad
transportation trouble continued ten days
longer, few if any steamers trading with
Baltimore will be able to get coal, and
will have to stop unless they bring supplies
from other places and from where he did
not know. twenty-five vessels are in
port chartered 70 load coal, and charges of
demurrage for detention, averaging $50
per day for each, will be exacted. The
demurrage alone will be heavy item in
the losses Eight or ten vessels are on
berths to load petroleum for Europe, but
there is no oil for them, and the laborers
required to load them are out of work.
The contracts to send out these cargoes
cannot be filed Demurra0e of cargoes as
high as $500 day will be the result. and
there is a probability that some shippers
will abandon their contracts altogether
rather than incur the losses. which
detention may entail. At Locust Point,
along Coffee Gait and others, Fells' Point
wharves, and at up town docks, the hun
dreds of laborers required to load and un-
load vessels are idle, because no freight
can be received or shipped out of the
city The quietness of Sunday reigns il
localities heretofore busy with the hun oi
industry. There is growing fear of dis
treAs which seems to be inevitable among
the laboring clesses that are not strikers
and are willing to work when there is any
thing fer them to do
