BIG RISE.
Soft Coal Rates In:
Worcester.
THE Som DID 1T,
Biluninous Coal Goes Up
One Dollar a Ton.

There IS a scarcity of soft coal all
over New England and the manufac-
rrrers. PARTICULARLY. the Worcester man
ufactiireis, are beginning to wear a
worried look over 1t all.
It is not to be wondered at when one
takes into consideration the fact that
many hundreds of tons are consumed
daily by the great manufacturing con-
Germs here.
The term scarcity may give way to
the word famine before the month has
gone IL is rapidly reaching that point
IN Boston,, Springfield and New Haven,
II reports are true; and the local in
tFrestAf who are unfortunate enough
not to bold a contract with the dealers.
are obliged to pay an advance of
dollar ton over the rates of week
Even then it is next to impossible to
get One of the largest dealers in BIZ
luminous coal told a representative of
The Spy Saturday that he was unable
to get any by the ordinary routes from
Baltimore or Philadelphia and was con-
sequently obliged to take what little
ne did get by a roundabout route that
entailed very great increase in
freight rates.
All of the trouble dates back to the
big storm of November, when so many
coastlng schooners were destroyed
along the coast. Over hundred were
coal laden. That has, of course, cut
Things short by the water routes, and
railroad freightage Jumped like the
mercury in midsummer.
Now when the Worcester coal deal
ers send to their agents asking for coal
deliveries at tide water, they are sim
ply told that the agents are unable to
get the coal to tide-water and if they
could, there are no vessels there to take
So the railroads are doing a very ar
bltrary and very profitable business
and they choose to extent their favors
and good offices 20 the west and let
great manufacturing interests of New
England suffer
In this city, Springfield and New
Haven, the coal dealers are trying to
stir up the ship owners to get into ac-
flonsF But they are not over the fright
Of the storm and the damage to many
of the boats has yet to be repaired.
None of the dealers care to be quo
ted on the matter. Messrs. Mann,
Young, Sumner, the Jourdan Co., c. W.
sEla1in & Co. and p. w C1anin & Co.
1estlHeeil the Same STORY. All are StruS-
Cling hard to keep ahead of the very
unpleasant conditions that exist.
One dealer who handles nearly 100
tons of bituminous coal daily. has man
aged so far to keep the firms with
whom he is holding contracts, running.
But IT has been at q big loss.
It he'd been rumorad in certain quar-
ters that there was to be an advance
in the price of house Goals. But all the
dealers deny this. There has Deen moth
ing to justify the rumor at any time.
There is plenty of coal for house con-
sumption on hand, and this has been
the case all through the season.
The question of the soft coal scarcity
must be settled by the coal dealers and
ship owners.
