OoaI Famine in Chioago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-There is q coal famine
in Chicago, owing to the heavy SHOWS OF the
past two weeks, which have blockaded the
railroads In sll directions. The supply OF
soft coal here has reached very low ebb.
The supply OF hard coal is ample,
but only small portion of the
quantity of coal consumed in Chica 90
is of that description. The worst suffering
is among the poor. The county sgent has
been utterly unable TO meet the demands
made upon him yesterday and today The
seriousness of the position is best prssenf ed
In the following statements made by lead
ing dealer in soft coal. There has not been
for ten years such a scarcity OF soft coal as
81 present. During the last ten days there
hiss been virtually no coal received
in the city. aud the accumulat.ons
that were on hand st the commencement of
this blockade are new completely exhausted.
The great bulk of the v0lums of soft 5al
that comes here is custOmarily used imme-
distely after arrival. It is impracticable in
view of the manner in which soft coal is
handled 10 carry any considerable stock at
one time. RailWay consumption alone
taxes IA Immense tonnage OF soft coal and
then our manufacturing interests all require
enoTmoos quantities. Outside Of the man
ufacturiDg demand, ali our large building
blocks are heated By steam, to produce which
soft coal Is exclusively used. Railways
manufacturing establishments and public
buildings seldom keep more than one or two
days stock on hand. This storm visitation
has caused a general paralysis in the move
ment Of trains, and there are several hun.
dIed car loads ia the city on the Inside
trECss which arrived during the storm and
are showed in, and which can not probably
be moved for several days These cars are
not approached by tesms and consequently,
50 far as delivering is concerned, might a.
well be in panr. .nlNanin.
