IT WOULD HR DIFFICULTY
to stste tu what respect, II any, the season Of
1873 was more satisfactory to the couldealef
than waa that Of 1877. OWING 10 the prevA-
winter of 18;7-'7B, tho advent Of spring found
dealers with mora than 1c0, 600 tons Of coal re-
snnIn!ug on hand, and a majority OF consumers
with enough In their bins to supply thcir wants
throughout the SUN mer. Consequently The
cousumptlva demand durlug the spring and
summer months nns Of exceptionally small d.
mcnsIoust mud, with prices ruling low er than at
any prevEous period Ia the history Of the trade,
the coal-aealer had \ pretty "hard row 10 loc."
But the coal-lealer never receives any
sympathy. The memory of the consumer runs
bacx TO tile Lime when Tho former
bad things all his own wav, and e1torted
$l5t $40, and even S23 for ton OK anthrne!te
s9al; and then CHARGED him a.: 40 additional
70 unfortunate a. to live outside Of certan pre-.
scribcd limits. That was away back In 1864 and
1e05. when Two or three deaters had q monopoly
Of the business. Now the composition has 10
prizes Is impossible, and tho consumer is now
taking his revenge. The extremely low prices
have led to materially Increased consumntion,
especially in the country; 4 eas the trade here
larger proportion than usual Of the Goa!
taken BY the country Lale went around
Chicago. There have been como fall
ures, and tho capital Of other tirns has
been reduced somcwhat,-the low prices
making It unnecessary to use 30 much money ia
the business al formerly, and The aggregate cap
ltat now employed does not exceed $i,o00,0VU.
