WORLDS FAIR
GATES OPENED
COAL PRICES ADVANCE
TEN CENTS ON TON
New Scale Goes Into Effect
on carbohydrates
Rushed With Orders

Coal prices will go up on Monday
ten cents on the ton. During the month
of April the anthracite business has
been exceedingly good. In fact the
orders for domestic sizes has been
greater than the local firms could ill.
The coal producing companies yester-
day Issued their May circulars and the
statement was that the price would ad-
vance ten cents on the ton on Mon
day.
A large dealer IN speaking OF the
situation today said;
THE business Is unusually good with
no prospect OF an abatement.
"Tide shipments TO the Eastern and
Southern markets have been very much
in evidence. Large quantities OF coal
have gone forward yet the demand still
continues. and while all the large oper-
ators report being short OF certain
sizes, yet the difficulty at present seems
to be lack Of transportation to move
what they have. This Is particularly
true OF the Southern market. Vessel
facilities to these points seem to have
fallen OF very materially. and for the
few vessels that are offered compare
lively high freights are being asked
This, OF course. handicaps the coal
companies to a certain extent in their
tide business.
"The trade locally Is in a splendid
condition, as far as the number OF
orders received is concerned. but the
trouble Is the lack OF material to al
them.
1--WE now have many orders that were
\ given during the month Of April. Now
that an advance in price has beer
made Il is optional with them whether
or not we deliver the coal.
There win be no advance In the
lprice during June OF July, but as tS
August we cannot say"

the charges of heresy against Prof.
