PlTTSBCRG. PA. April 2s.-The estl-
mates made by men familiar with the
demands from the local coal trade differ
somewhat, but not enough to allow any es-
cape from the conclusion that a fuel
famine Is not far of. There Is a perfect
scramble among manufacturers and other
large consumers to purchase all the coal
they can find. Prices are as unusual as
the mining situation itself, while the ad.
vanclng rates promise to continue until
the supply Is increased. When the strike
began there were over 10000 bushels
IN barges along the river fronts for
sale AT the several landings In the
pools there was considerable coal subject
TO order OF southern customers, and could
not be sold I'm the local markets. To-day
prices are almost what the holders asked
and the buyers were plenty. Slack, which
usually sells for one cent a bushel. was
disposed OF at seven cents until the
supply was exhausted. Local manufac-
turers have purchased about two million
bushels and there is very little more to
be bought
