The Price of Coal.


Coal is now selling for p cents more
per ton than it was before September l,
and soon, if the Reading coal combine
succeeds in carrying OUT its plans for in
crease, another rise of 10 cents or more
will follow, not before the end Of this
month, however, for the September cir
cular has fixed prices until October l.
The dispute between the Reading and
the Pennsylvania Railroad companies
about increasing the rate of freight on
coal is not so complicated as it may
seem.
There was a gradual increase in the
rate Of freight until at the beginning OF
this month the rate from the mines to
Philadelphia was $l.70 and to Balti-
more 50 The price Of coal without the
freight was fixed as follows Stove 50
broken, $2.45 egg, $3.50; chestnut,
$3.50. To find the price at Philadelphia
or Baltimore, the frcight-$l.70 or -,
respectivcly-must be added. Now the
Reading on Monday raised its freight
rate to Philadelphia to $50 and deal
ers in this city have understood that it
is proposed to advance the rate to Bal
timore to $2.10 These are, of course,
all wholesale prices Of mine agents,
though if they increase retail figures
must rise proportionatcly
In the coal business the situation is
controlled entirely by the railroads, and
whatever they choose TO charge the
mines and consequently the public must
pay. As to the case in point, the rail
roads have been getting two-ffths of
the selling price Of coal at points of de-
livery. For instance, stove coal selling
at wholesale in Baltimore at s. per ton
paid the railroad company - per ton
for freight. Coal is the most profitable
class Of freight that is hauled, for it will
bear heavy charges.
Now the Pennsylvania railroad, in
refusing to raise its coal tolls as the
Reading did on Monday, practically
SAYS that coal has been taxed high
enough by the railroads That is the
way the matter stands, but the Reading
has the biggest hand in the case, by
reason of its own immense ownership
of anthracite coal lands and its control
OF others through its alliance with the
Lchigh Valley and Jersey Central.
One large wholesale firm in this city
has ordered its shipments of coal which
were to have come via the Reading and
Baltimore and Ohio, to be transferred
to the Pennsylvania lines.-Balt. Ne'cs.

ALWAYS CARRY Book. Every
time you travel on a railroad carry q
book with you, is the advice of an
elderly woman TO young girl. First
that you may have a place for your
ticket that you may show it quickly to
the conductor, thus obliging him as
agreeably as the man who carries his
ticket en- evidence in his hat.
Second-That anyone travelling in
YOUR company or an acquaintance met
on the train may feel at liberty to leave
you ut any time. If your companion
is man who enjoys cigar he will ap-
preciate the fact that your book Will at-
ford YOU diversion in his absence.
Third-That if you are alone you
may become absorbed in your book,
proving to "Cupid's footpadsa that you
are not in need of entertainment from
them and are oblivious to their aggres-
siye stares and oflicious attentions.
''But book wont affect 'Cupid's
footpads,' as You call them, said the
young girl Il was coming home from
Detroit alone and tried to read q
SlOFN udu Will lhS' -
took his seat opposite me, staring
right over my book tried to appear
unconscious of his irritating stare, but
| wasn't | was uncomfortable. l
concluded I'd go to sleep, and SNUG
gled down in the seat with my face to-
ward the window The man immedi-
ately rose and insisted on giving me his
overcoat for pillow. ! was forced to
take it. He then sat down to watch
me whilst l slept. l couldn't stand
that, so sat bolt upright, and before l
could think of the next thing to do he
began in q breathless way to tell me
his marital history.
''His wife had left him suddenly two
years ago, and he had searched for her
all through the west. He found her in
Chicago, happier with another man
than she had been with hil.. l
had to listen perforce to the whole
story, and 1 had a book, too, open on
my lap. 1t failed to suggest him to
leaye.n
"Your face must be like the covers
of book when you travel, revealing
nothing of the sentiment, enthusiasm
and sympathy contained within"
again advised the elderly woman.
