secured by the combination, and it is
the intention to increase the amount
to thirty millions and ship all to New

He said further that the operators
interested had received information
from an inside source that New Orleans
is to be made the base of coal supply
in event of war with Spain, hence the
endeavor to get a large amount of the
black diamonds at that point to sell to
the government when needed The
present price of coal at New Orleans
is eight cents per bushel or twenty
cents a barrel. The combination will
not sell single barrel of coal for less
than fifty cents.
Shipments are expected to commence

thirty millions to New Orleans in time.
