Galveston, Texas, July 24.--The effect OF
the coal miners strike is beginning to be
felt In Galveston and stocks of some
grades are running low. Operators in the
East are not anxious to sell at quotations,
and there is a scarcity Of tonnage TO move
offering freely for long summer voyages
to the gulf where they can hope for no re-
turn cargo. and as result of the combina-
ton OF the strike, and this usual reticence
on the part of the owners of tonnage to
send their vessels to the gulf, the local
coal people are beginning to calculate on
tho possible outcome OF the situation.
