WEATHER AND ABUNDANT
COAL GIVE POOR bBESPITE
New Conditions AlIay AnX-
iety in Washington.
THE DEMAND is LESS ACTIVE
No Change IN Temperature Indicated
for T0moTrOw-COmmittee's
Duties Over.

BoreaS and the weather man seem 10
have entered into a friendly conspiracy
to protect the people from further en-
croachments OF the coal barous.
A spTiug-Iike baImiDess and thou
sands Of tons of coal both descended
upon the city this morning. iusuring au
ever-increasing reserve of fuel in the
yards of the dealers, and in the collars
and bins of the consumers. The receipts
Of both anthracite aud bftumiuous coal
today were fully up 10 the standard that
has been maintained throughout the pas
week, and with the greater ease in the
market, interest in the situation is dying
out.
Investigation Concluded.
Senator Stewards subcommittee of tho
Committee on the District of CoIum-
bia have about concluded their iHvesFf-
cation for the present. Should there
be any indication Of an advance in the
price Of coal TO local consumers. how
ever, il is their purpose to resume the
hearing. and push it to a vigorous con
clusiOn- Under existing conditions the
members are satisfied that it would be
prices before the end of the winter. and
SO long as there Is 10 Increase in prices.
and Reading coal is supplied in the
quantities in which it is now coming in.
they believe that the committee has ac-
complished all that it started out TO do.
That it is the purpose of a number Of the
Legislators TO devise some means 10 pre-
vent q repetition Of the suffering Of the
present winter Is beyond doubt Many
measures are now in course OF pTepara-
tion, having this object in view.
Increased Receipts.
The Increased receipts Of coal in
Washington have been felt more by the
larger dealers and their customers than
by those who depend upon the Albright
& Baker dump for their supplies The
contested condition at that dump. neces-
stating wagons and carts remaining in
line from twelve TO thirty-six hours 10
secure a load of coal. and the greatly
increased cost thus made necessary has
resulted in the Reading Company fore
ing out its coal through those channels
that could handle II most economically.
There are no closer students of the
weather at the present time than the
coal dealers and miners throughout the
country. Upon no one -eIament does
the future price Of coal this winter so
depend as upon the readings Of the ther-
mometeF. There was a Iessening de
mand for coal today. With no change
in temperature indicated for tomorrow
This falling Of IS expected to continue
