MANY SUFFER FOR COAL.
Baltimore Has Not Enough TO 90
Round.

The fuel situation in Baltimore is
acute. Retail prices on anthracite vary
from 500 10 $40 ton, and bituminous
coal Is quoted by some dealers at about
$50; but 1t Is not question of price,
as neither variety can be had in quaint
ties sufficient to meet the demand.
The railroads claim to be transport
ing hard coal promptly. and it seems
that the supply is limited by the
capacity of the mines The bituminous
coal operators assert that there is prac-
tlcaily no limit TO their production, but
they cannot get transportation facilities
The suggestion is made. and strongly
Endorsed. that the soft-coal roads for a
short time abandon the hauling of all
except the most perishable and necessary
freight, and confine their efforts to re.
lieving tn" fuel famine.
Some of the consumers of coal are IN
censed at the action of few of the re
tail dealers i'll the city who refuse to
sell tuel in quantities greater than a
bushei The price generally demanded
is 20 to 80 cents, and as each ton con
talns about 81 bushels, the price of fuel
is about Sl3 ton. In smaller quantities
the price Is proportionately higher.
iVshlt us IL Tult, i've Ill
sections of the city where the people are
poor Coal sold i'll small quantities con
stirutes the bulk of their business, and
they believe they are justified in refus-
ing former customers, who buy coal in
larger lots, because the bucket trade, '
as 1t is called. nets them larger profit
on each ton sold. Under their system
of doing business, the poorer the person
the greater the opportunity for fleeing
him.
These retailers take no secret of their
motives i'll refusing coal The buyer is
told that the supply is so limited that it
can all be sold to the people in the neigh.
borhood by the bushel, and, as more
money can be made in this way, ii
would be foolish to lose the opportunity
This answer is made to persons who
have dealt with the retailer for years.
If the consumer is willing to pay the
cost of ton at the retail price he is sup
piled with fuel. Otherwise he must get
it elsewhere or do without it.
