It was reported among coal dealers yester-
day that the retailers are about to raise the
price Of coal Several retailers said that there
might be an advance soon and Jeremiah Pang-

Company, speaking Of the situation yesterday,
said.
1t is true that the prospective strike has

not to be any need of an advance in the retail
price for some time 10 come IL has been a very

MYSTERY SURROUNDS GROIN
JE'5 MOVEMENTS.

LONDON, Feb 19.-Practieally moth
ing is known Of the progress of Lord
Roberts column during the last day or
two, and speculation as to the ultimate
gain from the recent movements is
necessarily unsatisfactory when based
on belated kilograms evidently yigor-
ously censored. Many important points
remain obscure.
What has become Of General Cronie's 5
heavy artillery? One correspondent. it
is true, says, it was left behind at Ma
gersfontein and Kimberly, but it is dif-
iicult to believe Lord Roberts would
not have mentioned detail of such i'm
portance. Again the statement that a
large Boer force was massing north
ward Of Kimberley once more raises in
the minds OF some exports the question
whether Cronie is really with the force
retreating on Bloemfontein. 1t IS sug-
gested that the latter is really the Free
State main army under General Prins-
loo, supplemented by portion of the
Magersfontein command, while the
main body OF the latter, under General
Cronje, is trying to secure Naal Bridge
at Fourteen Streams, thus barring the
way to Mafekng.
