HARVEST FOR RETAILERS
Coai Prices Pushed Up Another
Notch in New York.
President OF the Dealers Exchange
Denies That at Is Extortion-De-
Unprecedented Supply VIII BE
seriously Depleted; ~ Three " eeLss

NEW YORK. Sept. IS.-If the ::ews OF
most OF the leading coal road officials
in this city are correct, the retail coal
merchants who are expecting to reap a
rich harvest from the strike Of the Penn
sylyania miners Will not have much time
for their -eaping. These officials seemed
confident yesterday that the strike
would be OF short duration. The retail
ers are losing no time however Yes
terday they raised the price of coal in
Manhattan SO cents ton at one jump
Red ash coal is now $3.50 ton, and
white ash $3.50. This is almost 81 more
than it was sold for a week ago, al
though the strike is only one day old.
When Henry Brennich, president of the
Retail Coal Dealers Exchange was
asked yesterday if this did not SAVIOR OF
eXtortion he replied:
There is no extOrtion about it. II
is mere business prudence. The stocks
carried by the retail coal dealers today
are no larger on the average than We
always carry at this time of the year,
but the demand is almost unprscsd dentei.
Tho sands OF our customers who usu-
ally buy few tons at time are scared
at the prospect Of long strike, and
arc ordering twice and three times the
usual quantity If We fill now all the
orders we have our stocks will be tx
hausted in ten days
DO you find that adding so cents a
ton to the price keeps the orders back
asked the reporter
1T does not" replied Mr. Brennich.
Then why charge the extra price,"
asked the reporter
because" said Mr.. Brennich. when
our present stocks are gone we Will not
be able 10 buy any more coal except at
exorb;tant prices, and in small quanti-
ties, if the strike lasts even three weeks.
We would therefore be obliged to shut
up our yards and suspend bus ness. This
would entail great loss; so it is only
common prudence on our part to charge
something extra now for our coal, In
order to have a profit upon which to
draw when the squeeze comes, as come
il surely will if the strike be prolonged" !"
Other retail coal dealers who Were seen
voiced the same sentiments Wholesale
operators, however. took the view that the
miners would be back at work long before
the coal supply was depleted to any con-
siderable extent. President Maxwell, Of

Remarkable Success of New Treat
ment for Piles.

meut for Piles.
For many years 1t has been supposed
that the only absolutely sure cure for piles
was by surgical operation, but the danger
TO life and the pain and expense has been
so great that many thousands suffer for
years rather than submit TO this last re-
sort; or they seek the temporary relief in
the many remedies claimed to relieve piles
and rectal troubles. salves. ointments, and
similar simple remedies which give only
slight and very temporary relief.
A new preparation which is painless and
harmless but which affords Immediate re-
lief and in many cases a complete cure in
very short time, is sold by druggists un-
der the name of Pyramid Pile Cure.
It is in suppository form used at night
and its regular use has cured thousands OF
obstinate. long-standing cases, and it seems
to be equally effective in all the various
forms of piles. whether itching, bleeding,
or protruding.
The Pyramid Pile Cure alIays the in
fiammation and !nto!erabIe itching. reduces
the tumoTs, and its astringent properties
cause the enlarged blood vessels to con-
tract to a normal healthy condition
A Baltimore gentleman relates his ex-
perience with the Pyramid Pile Cure in
these words:
