ANTHRACITE GOES UP
1t is Now ST and But $500 Tons Here
at Any Figure

Anthracite coal has gone up to 81, and
there are not more than ESQ tons here to
be bought at any price.
A meeting of the dealers was held yes
tcrday, and the price, 81, was agreed
upon. A number of the dealers haven't
any hard coal at any price, and none are
taking orders for future delivery.
Not ton of hard coal is coming here,
and it must be had for cooking and other
domestic purposes. Were it winter, when
1t would have to be used for heating
houses by means of furnaces, untold in
convenience would be caused.
Fortunately the wheels of industry are
not stopped by the lack of this kind of
coal. Stationary engines for factories get
their steam from the heat of steam coal.
which is medium between the hard and

height Of three feet.
