THE RISE IN COAL.
Local Dealers Do Not Offer Much Cons,
lation In the Matter.

Local Dealers Do Not Offer Much Conso
iation I'm the Matter.
The NEWS to-day endeavored to secure
from pro minent Providence coal dealer.
the reason why the price Of coal for do
nestle consumption was raised twenty
hve cents per ton recently and what were
the prospects Of n reduction TO The nor.
MAJ prices at an early date.
Inc reasons obtained while perfectly
clear and logical will not allow the ordi.
nary consumer 10 derive any great degree
Of comfort.
One Of the largest dealers in Provi-
depce said this morning: ''The chief
cause of the advanced rates may be at
triDuted to the rise In f~reights. OF
course there were many other causes. such
as Increased demand and the difficulties
incident to loading and unloading the
vessels.
when the cold snap set in and many
OF The coal ports were blocked by ice, and
the water approaches became unnaviga-
PIE, the difficulties OF navigation were
largely increased. and the shippers en-
gagged In the coastwise trade seeing their
opportunity, quickly raised the price of
''The rise in the price OF coal sold in this
city has ben proportionate only to the
increased cost OF transportation. For
instance. where some time ago the freight
rates paid ranged from so 10 80 cents per
ton, they have been advanced to 75 cents
and 81 per ton.
the cost of handling the coal
at the port OF shipment and this
port was also increased, as men re-
aused 10 work except for increased pay.
ihen. too, the large supply Of coal which
nau Deen accumulated by the mining
companies and the dealers during the
summer caused n I, duction in the price
which left it below the normal rates.
Whiie the quoted price on the regu-
lar sent out TO the various
dealers was. say 81 20. they were pay
ing much less than that and could afford
10 reduce the retail price.
AS soon, however,, AS the intense cold
caused a largely increased demand the
INNING companies advanced their prices
10 Tue Circular quotations, and this fact
WITH the others hamed caused the local
dealers TO advance their prices.
Many dealers now have more orders
on hand han they can fill and there are
classes OF, coal which you cannot buv
from them at any price for this reason"
is there more coal on the way?" the
NEWS man inquired.
Yes" he said, I'VE expect several YES
sells within "A few days"
asked.
NO." he replied. because another
coli spell may set in anu catch US short,
Just as this one has done"
Another dealer when Intercepted said
he ala not apprehend any difficulty in
supplying all the hard coal needed here;
that his firm was taking Provide ice or
iers hrst and paying but little attention
to other persons.
why" he exclaim d, I'VE received an
order only this morning from q Connecti-
cut town. and during the week we have
orders from several interior
In northern New England. The
trouble Is that Baltimore and Philadel-
Lhia cannot send us any coal because the
vessels there cannot get to sea-"
