THE COAL SITUATION.
No Advance Yet I'm Prices by Wash
ington Retail Dealers.

With a supply of anthracite or hard coal
on hand to last the citizens of the District
for a period of about four weeks, and In
view of the absolute ignorance of what the
future near remote is to develop with
regard to the great strike of the Pennsyl-
vania coal miners, the retail coal dealers
of Washington have not advanced the price
of the necessary article a cent per ton.
There has been substantial rise in the
charges of the retail dealers of New York,
Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore, but
thus far the local dealers have refrained
from adding to the regular prevailing
prices, because they regard such a move
at present as in the nature of speculation
where their customers would get the worst
of it.
Whether the price is to be advanced is a
question that depends for settlement en-
tirely upon the result of the strike now in
progress.
their supplies at prices fixed by the whole
sale dealers, which are stated in a circular
issued each month. If the prices of the
wholesalers advance it will naturally fol-
low that the prices of the retailers must in
crease cOrrespondingly.
Conversations with representatives of J.
Maury Dove, Johnson Brothers, Charles
Werner and other large retail dealers here
today resulted in the consensus of the Situ
alton given above There has been very
extraordinary demand for coal in the past
two three days by householders and
business firms and establishments, owing
to the scare created by the strike, but
orders for unusual amounts are not being
filled by the dealers. They realize that
critical period may come when their regu-
lar customers must be taken care of as
far as possible in preference to other pur-
chasers. but even regular customers are
not being served in quantities larger than
they usually order.
A prominent retail dealer today stated the
in a nutshell. when he said.
1--WE Washington dealers are all up in the
air so far as the coal future is concerned.
There will be no speculative increase by
any dealer, / am pretty well convinced, be-
cause such action while temporarily profit
able could not fail to lead to the future
and permanent injury of any one who
should indulge in it. OF course, If the sup
ply wholesalers who sell to us advance
prices, we will be compelled to do the
same. but just at present we are, as l said,
uD in the air"
