COOLEST
MORNING..
Mercury Got Down to II
degs. Coal Will Ad-
vance in Price.

THIS morning was the coolest morning
of the winter and early morning risels
experienced Jack Frost's nip In earnest.
The lowest temperature recorded was IL
degrees at Sixth and Market streets.
This was at o'clock, but during Tho
night tho mercury was down as low rs 10.
Although he cold snap continued To-day.
the forecast for tomorrow is warmer
weather.
Evidences of the law temperature were
abundant in frozen CUTTERS and slippery
pavements. Marshes and creeks In and
about the city We're also frozen. and for
the first time this winter the skating was
good. Shellpot creek was the most popu'
lar resort.
Coal at the wharves Mt New England
paints has been raised rs cents ton.
The hewprico which went into effect
yesterday relates only to coal at ,points
in tho New England district and does not
apply to the city and line and tide water
trade. 1t is stated, however, that there
will also be an advance in price along tho
whole limo. perhaps on the first OF the year
although it Is not believed that any ma
terial change vii, be lnaio In the retail
prices, as during the year, when wholesale
prices wuro low, there was very little ma
terial reduction in tho retail rates.
