MILD WEATHER
lessons DEMAND
And Dealers Are Happy Because
They Haven't Much Coal
in Yards.
THAT QUESTION OF BOND.

The change in the temperature
has caused slight improvement in
the coal situation. BY this it is
meant that the demand for the fam.
lily sizes Of fuel is not so great as it
was several days ago, and it is we'll
That 1t is not for there is very little
coal in the city to be had. One deal
er who received GOO tons on Monday
had but 100 tons for sale to-day. He
Ia getting 81 ton for the stock.
A new complaint has arisen from
the retailers. They are all holding
last TO the rule to serve old custo-
mers first, and many persons are
writing and 'phoning to them un der
the gnise of old customers whom
they have never heard OF before,
Ihls anne makes necessary a search
OF books and records and retards
actual business. In all instances the
ones misreprssenting themselves
are refused the coal. Still other per-
sous are asking tor single ton or two
ton lots who are known 10 have a
plentiful supply in their cellars.
These. too, are refused.
'lf everybody would be satisfied
with one ton as startcr,' sail a
dealer. "ths famine would mighty
soon be broken up. 1t isn't neces.
sary for nire-tenths of the people to
buy half dozen tons at once. They
can't use over ton or so a month
IN many Cases, and if they take their
one ton and wait, the situation
would be cleared up in Two weeks"
The local dealers deny that the
Heading Company has requested Of
them a bond not to sell above GER.
tain advance on schedule prices.
concerning this a representative of
the Reading Company says
mo bond is required. We send
out an agreement fixing our price to
retailers and limiting them to aprice
to charseno customer over it. If they
do not wish to meet the require.
ments of our paper they need not
sign. No bond is asked. We look
at the Question in this way: If we
are able to sell coal to tile retailer
at 80 ton, say, why should we
take advantage of the present
strlnsency and demand 81 and
SIo :: We lave fixed a fair profit
Tor ourselves and we do not propose
to have dealers make exorbitant
advances.
The bond the dealers are asked to
give, the official subsequently, indi-
Gated, is only for the purpose of pro-
tectlng the company in guaranteeing
payment for coal purchased from it.
1t is simply IA private business
matter between the dealer and the
company by asking for security such
as any large commercial house re.
quires from its customers with
whom it does Il credit business.
You know our company has just
started the policy Of selling direct to
the retail dealers. Heretofore the
company sold through a mildleman
OF firm, to whom only it looked for
payment for the coal it shipped
here.
