day announced that with the prospect of
the termination of the strike th-re would
be reduction in local coal prices CT 80
cents a ton. This means that prices will
average about s6 for white ash and IS 90
for red ash. Before the strike the re-
tail prices for the two qualities were, re-
spectively, IS and $3.50.
The retail dealers now calmly declare
that during the coming winter. at least
there viii be no return to these figures.
The sc cents advance will be m2in aimed,
no matter how soon or how equitall le
may be the adjustment of trade eondi-

days, but the consumer may rest as
sured. it seems. there will be no further
decrease in price.
This statement is made upon the au-
thority of some OF the leading retailers
OF this city. They contend that the prices
which ruled before the strike left them
too small a margin of profit and they
now unhesitatingly say that it IS taeir
Itention to take advantage of the situa-
tion to keep prices up to a level that
will enable them to pocket a larger pro-
portion of profit
