There is little that is new In the
coal situation this week. Each of the
local dealers has received several car
loads of coal during the week, and
by delivering in half ton and quarter
ton lots they have been able to keep
their customers from experiencing &C
tual suffering. Most of the coal that
has arrived has been CRATE, chestnut
pea and soft coal. Only a small
amount of stove coal has been re-
ceived. Hard coal costs the dealers
$500 ton in New London, making
1t necessary to put the price up to 50
ton in Brattleboro. Soft coal, which
ordinarily is much cheaper than hard
coal, has scared in price to $40 ton.
The principal users of coal in resi-
dences are burning soft coal as it is
more plentiful, Notwithstanding the
price.
