RETAIL COAL PRICES DROP.
Pressure on Independent Operators Brings
Benefit to Consumers

Retail prices of coal dropped yesterday IN con-
sequence of the break. in OF Independent
coal. and dealers who had been charging from $40
to S2 ton quoted yesterday prices of IS 50 and 81
Under the pressure caused by the refusal If
Lehigh Valley The Philadelphia and Reading and
the Delaware, LackaWanna and Western Railroad
companies TO supply cars to the Independent opera
tors who were trying to hold coal at tidewate~ in
dependent prices continued low. from IS TO IS 80
ton Yesterdays warm weather helped keep the
market weak, though dealers say that any effect
Of cold weather in raising prices would be merely
temporary.
At the Lehigh Valley docks Perth Amboy,
where there is storage capacity for NO0O9 tons,
far greater than any present needs demand, O.
nce has been served on the local agents OF the in
dependent operators that only must cars be
unlo3ded. but the coal must be taken from the
wharres- In The meantime, reports from the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company show that more
coal was mined Yesterday in the colerts served

BROADWAY CRACKLEs WITH PEANUTS.
Car Hits Pushcart and General Distribution
Follows.

Broadway, from Twentythird to Thirty
fourth st, was literally strewn with peanut
shells last night, and had tie appearance of a
circus camping ground. On the sidewalks, in
the middle of the roadway, on doorsteps and for
many feet east and west the side streets one
could not walk without stepping peanut
shells Newsboys and messenger boys walked
along with bulging pockets, their papers or mes
sages tucked under an arm, while the hands
were left free to crack peanuts. Many OF the
cabmen too and a few policemen were seen
crunching The boys said that good anger
had given them away by the bushel, and the
cabbies said that the boys had given the pea
nuts to them.
The safety of sidewalks and boys was due to
a collision between a Broadway car and push
cart The pushcart piled high with the ele-
phant food its proprietor, Nicholas Dosos,
attempted TO steer it from the east TO the west
side of the street. The was going faster
than Doisos thought it was. and he attempted
to cross in front of 1t. The car struck the
cart and cart and peanuts few in all directions.
Doisos got out of the way In time.

Mr.. Hobbs says:

We have entered upon q period Of permanent
lN high meat prices in this country. Cur
population, like that Of Europe. is increasing
of prosperity and the greater world demand for
meats during the last five years drew more
heavily upon the herds and fiocks. SO nlucn
so that there was startling slaughter OF breed
ing stock. Another invasion was made IN the
excessive slaughter of calves for veal ana OF
very young steers for what is known as 'baoy
beef II takes 2 greater number OF cattle 10
produce the same amount of meat now than II
did in the olden times when cattle were not
killed under four five yea of age, The fact
is we have one million fewer cattle than in
1900 The number al this writing is less. Inc
big demand is for meats. and the high prices
call stock to market in an undergrown ana un-
finished condition. AS the percentage of popula-
eicn 10 livestock is increasing with each deCade,
as The slaughter of calves is relatively on the
increase and as the butcher taste runs TO light
er animals there is no chance to bring about
parity Of conditions and a permanent lowering
OF meat and cattle prices.
