PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-The
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company and all the local coal dealers
have advanced the price Of coal % and
80 cents a ton, respectively. The Read
ing advance applies either to coal at the
mines or at tidewater, and, with the local
dealers advance, goes into operation at
once. The Reading further announces
that all untitled orders for September
are Cancelled and that all future orders
are subject to the company's ability to
furnish the coal. Regarding the local In
crease, dealers say the rush for coal has
been so great that they have at times
been compelled to pay premiums to get
the coal. The statement was also made
that the increase will be adhered to as
long as the strike lasts and that further
increase depends entirely upon the length
of the strike.
