ANOTHER CARGO OF WELSH COAL.

offered for sale as all had been contracted for be-
fore the order was placed by the Perkins Company.
of the Produce Exchange Building. by whom the
importation made.
All day the Office of the Perkins Company was
besieeed by coal dealers eager to obtain some OF
the coal, or to place orders for shipments to be
made hereafter. The price at which the Welsh coal
is quoted could not be learned.
An official of the New York. Ontario and Western
said Yesterday that his company had lost ground
AZ the scene of the rioting but had gained in other
places so that the total daily output at present

began. Yesterdays shipment by his company. he
said was 1900 tons.

indications of a breaking up within a few days
but when the few days had passed the strikers
were as firm in their position as before.
