$3.50 and Pea to Sc.

Broken, Egg, Stove and Nut Reduced to
$3.50 and Pea to Sc.
Retail price of coal was Monday reduced
by all the dealers in Wilmington to $3.50 per
ton for broken, egg, stove and nut and 50
per ton for pea coal. From this figure is
allowed discount of 20 cents per ton for
cash. The various dealers interviewed dwelt
strongly upon the necessity oil their business
being conducted hereafter upon much
more strictly cash basis than heretofore. :,
Under the Tery positive conditions and
restrictions now in effect in the wholesale
trade, the dealers cannot afford to grant the
leniency that has been allowed in the past
in the matter of credits. They claim that
in no branch of business has the credit
system been more abused than in the retail
coal trade and that under the pres ent terms
of settlement with the wholesale dealers, the
retailers must have prompt settlements from
their customers.
The prices fixed Monday are based upon
the wholesale circular of the Philadelphia Il
Reading Coal and Iron Co., their per
manency depending upon the ability of the
dealers to procure their supply on that
basis. The complete list of prices now in
effect is as follows: Broken, egg, ftoye and
chestnut-S7.5 80 per ton less 80 cents tor

flowers, and pinned back the lace cur

lamp outside to come in and assist
them in their work.

Pennock Pusey will read paper
dealing with the history of the town of
Lewes at the meeting of the Historical
Society of Delaware on Monday, even
ing, November 18th. He recently visited
the old town and secured considerable
bulk of material upon which to base
his paper, Mr.. Pusey has done con-
siderable work in the direction of his
torical sketches, and perhaps no other
man, in the State is better qualified
to write of Delaware's past. He always
writes in most entertaining way and
has the faculty of making history as
attractive as a romance. 1t may be
expected that the paper on Lewes will
be one of the most interesting pre-
sented to the Historical Society for a
long time.
