SCARCITY OF COAL
Not Enough Fuel in City to
Last a Fortnight.

boston, Dec. 12.-The present coal
situation i'm Boston is critical and the
prospects for the future are nothing else
than alarming
Within a few weeks. according to the
testimony Of most OF the larger dealers
i'm Boston. there viii not Doe ton of
coal I'm this city which can be purchased
by the general public. The universal
opinion among the dealers is that,
should a severe cold period begin within
two weeks. the suffering among the peo-
pie Of Boston and suburbs would be
such as has not been known in this
country within a generation.
Today at tho various coal sheds about
Boston. what would ordinarily be con-
sidercd a mcagcr supply of anthracite
coal and enough bituminous coal to pre-
vent a famine for perhaps two weeks,
may be found
More anthracite and hituminous are
on the way to Boston. but in this reach
orous weather vessels and barges make
remarkably slow passage. and the sup
ply i'm sight IS at best but a lump in
the bin.
No better proof Of the actual scarcity
Of coal could be given than the fact
that the Boston dealers yesterday con-
tracted for cargocs or anthracite that
will cost them by the time the Goa
reaches this city. fully So a ton.
