COAL is VERY
SCARCE IN BARRE

than he can receive for it so that the
orders SIT nd at positive loss to him.
Already the scarcity Of coal in this
city is shown by the practical disap.
pearance Of the heavy coal teams
from the streets as only small loads
are delivered which can be done with
smaller wagons.
The price at which coal is selling
here, $8 ton, is for once lower than Fit
sells for inlBoston and other tidewater
places where it usually rules much
less. But those places have no coal
to spare and hence the high prices
charged for it.
The supply Of soft coal in the city is
not over and above large, but it is
sufficient for present needs. IT it
should fail many Of the stone sheds
would have to shut down as there is
no hard coal to let have to piece out
with.
Even if there is plenty Of coal to be
had by the time winter sets in the
price will be very high. The coal
operators will make up for the cost Of
.he strike and the heavy expenses
they have been put to because of it
by selling their coal at largely in.
creased price over what they have
sold it for in the past. Then there
must be added to this the price ex.
acted by the railroads for hauling
the coal and the profit OF .the Goa.
dealers for paying tue running expen-
ses of their business so that the price
will be enormous. All of this price
will come out of the consumer.

SO0A AA bNAAS 40 So ONtSASN WAA DASAN%S
as real July day is this year. There
is some, but it is only very small
amount, and II you ordered several
tons of your coal dealer and had the
order filed you might expect to wake
up and find the weather like it used to
be years ago, when you could boil an
egg in the sun, rain was scarce, corn
was up to your shoulder and haying
was In full swing.
The local dealers have very little
supply on hand and are unwilling to
part with 1t, as they do not know h0w
soon they can get more. The strike
of the miners caught them just as
they were preparing to get In q sup.
ply for summer. There is PROBABLY
less than months supply in the
whole city.
All of the dealers claim to have a
little coal on hand, but none OF them
will take an order tor over ton. In
fact they really do not want to sell any
more than they rossibly can.
One coal dealer regrets the strike
pretty badly. When the prices for
the summer were made out some two
or three months ago he took a num-
Der of orders and In turn ordered the
coal to fill. them. But in the mean.
time the strike had set in and word
came to him that the wholesale deal
ers could net possibly let him have
the coal. Now as he has accepted the
orders he is bound to fill them but, as
all signs now point, ii he gets any
coal at all he will have to pay more
