days to come. Mild weather and the
consequent small consumption of coal
for other than railroad and steam pur-
poses has made 1T impacticable to adj
vance the price to SO as was talked of
o. even to s2.75 ton.
Three weeks ago when mines We're
working to their capacity to supply the
local trade and railroads were gobb]ing
up the shipping coal Without regard to
the rights of country dealers, the price
of shipping coal was advanced to $3.50
a ton, the prevailing price for lump coal
delivered in this city, while nut coal
Went to 1925. Then it was practically
agreed that Dec. / the price of steam
coal in Des Moines would be advanced
To SO a ton for lump and that a corre-
spending advance would be made on
other grades
The long continued warm weather,
however, has changed the situation.
Railroads, many of which We're exper-
liencing a coal famine three weeks ago,
and We're not only buying all the coal
in sight, but We're coEtiscating ship
ments to keep their trains in service,
have been able to get 4 supply on hand
at nearly all division and coaiing points,
and country dealers have managed to
get their usual fall stocks under cover
SO that al this time mines find that taey
have a surplus on hand for city trade
and arc running ahead Of shipping or.
ders The result is that the price of
ceal to the shipping trade has been re-
duced from $3.50 TO s2.25 ton and the
price of coal for local consumption will
be held to $3.50 for the present ut least. I
