Cedar Falls, Dec. 31.-The fuel situ-

There Is just enough coal in the hands
of the dealers to last today and tomor-

knows. There Is not a half dozen tons
of hard coal in the town in the bins of
the citizens and not an ounce in the
bins of the dealers. They say their Or
ders have been sidetracked, cars held
up no satisfaction is obtained either
from the wholesale dealers or the rail-
roads and of all men the dealers are
most miserable and wish they never
had seen a car of hard coal in their
lives. Some wood is obtainable and is
now retailing for So per cord, but the
supply Is not adequate ITO meet the
needs of all by any means. Many there
are who believe that the railroad COM
panies and the large dealers in Chicago
have formed conspiracy to hold the
cars OF coal and raise the price.
