COKE IN DEMHND
Prices Have Reached a Record
Breaking Height and the Sup
PLY Is So Limited That the
Situation Is Serious

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. with the
supply of anthracite coal SO limited
that dealers refuse to quote a price on
what little they have on hand, the de-
nland for coke has been so great dur
ing the last few days that the large
dealers have been unable to fill their
orders.
Yesterday coke in carload lots was
quoted at $3.50, and many who sought
to buy at this record breaking price
were refused because the wholesalers
could not supply the increased demand.
The supply of coke is almost ex-
hausted, and late yesterday afternoon
it was freely predicted that before to-
morrow night it will take $14 if not
more to buy a ton of what is held by
the wholesalers.
This figure applies only to wholesale
purchases, the retail price being about
81 per ton greater.
The Oldest dealers in Chicago can
not recall a time when coke was sold
in carload lots at more than SO per ton.
They also say that never before in
the history of Chicago has the demand
for coke been as great as since the
strike of the miners in the anthracite
district, which has forced the large
consumers of hard coal to burn coke.
Many of the largest foundry COM
panies in Chicago are on the verge Of
suspension because they can not secure
enough hard coal and coke to supply
theirpfurnaces.
At the present time, say the dealers,
there are enough orders on hand to
exhaust the supply of coke, while
there is so little anthracite coal on the
market that the wholesalers refuse to
quote a price,
Unless something happens to relieve
the situation it is almost certain that
before another week passes many of
the largest manufacturing concerns in
Chicago will be forced to suspend and
thousands Of persons will be thrown
allt Of emrilyment.
While the big firms are clamoring
for the dealers to fill their orders,
Others are finding it almost impossible
to secure fuel for family use.
Since the beginning of the anthracite
strike many have substituted coke for
hard coal for family use, but now it is
impossible to SECURE coke and they are
compelled to use soft coal or fuel gas.

these, Mr.. Shannon has made this dig
nified reply:
Agitation of the labor question is
largely political, coming from a source
it should not come from, but was not
entirely unexpected.
MANY misstatements have been
made concerning the matter that have
tended to mislead the laboring people.
I have conyersed with a great many
men throughout the Territory, and
have yet to find one that did not agree
with me and say that he would have
done just as did had he been in my
place.

Letter to A. A. Small.
Belfast, Me.

Dear sir: Is gallon of paint gallon of
paint, or half-a-gallon? Sometimes one,
sometimes the other. +. p Lynch and his
predecessor, Delhi, n. Y, sold a wel-known
Mixed Paint for twenty years-lt's a good
paint, as mixed paints go.
n. Avery owns two houses exactly alike
there. He painted one four years ago with
this Mixed Paint-took twelve gallons
Last spring, he painted the other house
with Devoe; bought u gallons and had six
gallons left. Same painter George Gilbert.
Same result, as far as looks go.
But the point of this tale is: LIST, That a
paint is dear or cheap according to what it
is no matter about this price. End, That a
gallon of one kind of paint can contain
twice as much paint as a gallon of another
kind of paint.
Devoe goes twice as far as Mixed Paint
two to one-but that isn't all. This story,
however, skips the rest-how it wears is
the rest.
Another, same town-Ferguson & Thomp-
sons store was painted some years ago
with this same Mixed Paint-32 gallons,
Repainted last spring with Devoe. Mr..
Lynch said IS gallons would be enough.
They have gallons left.
Yours truly,
g F. W. DEvoE & Co.
