COAL PRICES ARE LOWERED.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 23.-The
prices for Indiana coal are still dropping
and it is said by operators that they will
be much lower by the end Of the week.
The mild winter weather has changed
what threatened to be coal famine in
October to an oversupply. The block coal
operators have an association which fixes
a standard price. Last Friday this was
lowered 25 cents ton at the mines. The
bituminous operators do not have such an
agreement, but the selling price of this coal
at the mines has fallen off from 70 TO 80
cents a ton for some cheaper qualities.
The retail price in Terre Haute is as much
as 60 cents below what 1t was ten days
ago. The bituminous coal is mostly used
by the industries, but it is a fact that while
the industries are as busy as ever the
amount of coal used for steam-making pur-
poses in severely cold weather is from 10
to 20 per cent. more than in moderate
weather. On locomotives, for which a very
large part of the Indiana output is sold the
percentage is greater.
