DELAYED COAL COMING IN.
Ontario 4 western Ex poets $40 Carloads
TO-day-Staten Island Needs II Most.

Large shipments of anthracite which
have been delayed by the rough weat her
in the beginning Of the week are expected
to reach tidewater here to-day. Among
these are LAG cars Of the New York, On
tario and Western company.
A representative Of this company said
yesterday that during the recent snow
blockade the quantity mined by the COM
pany's collieries dropped from an average
Of II 800 tons to $500 tons daily. Only
about 200 cars of prepared sizes came to
tidewater over this railroad yesterday.
There was coal to sell yesterday In all
of the depots where coal is sold by the pail
The depot at the Barber yards in Water
street had no coal on Tuesday and only forty
tons on Monday, but yesterday 1t had a
good supply and distributed about LOO
pals. The distribution lasted until long
after darkness set in. Mr.. Barber says he
expec.s 90 tons this week for distribution.
The other yards were fairly well supplied.
The emergency fuel depot Of the Sal
walton Army was opened yesterday morn
ing in Chatham Square. After coo pals
had been sold the supply gave out. A
larger supply will be ready to-day. During
left burning in front of the building to
show how L could be used. Major Lud-
gate. who has charge of the depot, said
there was a great demand for these bricks
from the Cherry Hill section. The bricks
are sold at two cents each.
1t was announced that the Board Of
Managers of the Democratic Club had
voted to make an appropriation of 81, 500
to buy coal for the poor, and that a COM
mittee Of three, headed by John Fox,
would present a check for that amount
to Mayor Low this morning.
Richmond Is having the hardest time OF
all the boroughs in getting coal. Almost
all the dealers have n small supply on
hand. but they ask Sli a ton for it and the
poorer classes have to do without coal
Many have been burning wood but since
the recent storm they have been unable TO
get to the woods.
The coal dealers in Manhattan as a rule
did not like to talk prices. The only thing
they were willing to talk about was the
