NOT YET
IN SIGHT
Dealers Say That Local Situa-
tI0n Remains Unchanged and
Future Can't Be Determined

According 10 the local dealers there is
no change in the local coal situation. The
prospect for obtaining anthracite coal is
unchanged. A representative of the East
ern Coal Co. is in New York today and
he hoped 10 learn something definite as
to when hard coal can be received here,
but what he learns cannot .be told until
something definite.
The prices OF soft coal remain as fixed
yesterday and there Is no greater de-
mand at these prices than there was at
the former price, 50. There Is a good deal
OF speculation as to what time coal will
reach Providence and one dealer today
said that he did not expect TO see hard
coal here inside OF two weeks. and per-
haps not then.
The owner OF the cargo OF Welsh coal
that reached providence Tuesday IN the
schooner j. G. Elwell has not yet dispos-
ed Of the surplus and IL would appear that
he would be Obliged TO sell the coal Al
considerable loss. The price demanded
1926 a ton. is altogether too steep for
Providence people, and while the fuel is
of fine quality they are not disposed TO
purchase because OF this.
There Is now more than an ordinary
supply OF wood I'm the market and the
prices are dropping The best OF wood
can now be bought under s. cord and
those who have wood and expected TO
reap a harvest. anticipating still further
increase OF price, will now be g'ad 10 sell
at any price they can get. Offers OF wood
are being refused daily by the large deal
ers.
Within the past two days about 1000
tons of soft coal, OF which 5000 tons was
for the Consolidated road, has been re-
ceived In Providence, and this does not
include the Welsh coal that makes up the
cargo OF the j. G. Elwell.
In the school houses OF the city soft
coal is being burned with considerable
satisfaction and az the Eastern Coal CO.,
this morning IL was said4 so great had
been the satisfaction With the soft coal
that Il would not be surprising IL the use
OF this fuel was continued after the hard
coal became plentiful.
