COAL SUPPLY LOW.

Shipments of coal from the east are
much ligh ter this year than last, and
the scarcity of bituminous threatens
to continue well into the winter Thus
far the shipments by way of the great
lakes are 800, 900 tons below those re-
corded at the same time last year.
The cause is said to be the car famine,
due to the opening of the large steel
plants and the sudden rush of business
in all parts of the country. The supply
of hard coal is about normal at pre-
sent.
