COMBINATION IN COAL
MONTGOMERY CONSUMERS CON-
 CERNED OVER PRICES.
WhlIe Persons fin this City are Paying
 @ . TOn Citizens of NeighbOr- lng Towns Buy 1t For 4a. Less.

Coosada. with a population of less than 100 pays s3.50 a ton for it's coal supply. Montgomery with a popula- tion of 5O,O0O pays $s a ton for the commodity.
 People of Coosada buy their coal di- rect from the North. Alabama coal fields. People of Montgomery buy their coal from local coal dealers.
 The question arises: why do Mont gomerians not buy their coal from the North Alabama coal fields? The an swer is simple, The managers of the North Alabama coal fields will not sell to the people of Montgomery direct They prefer to sell to the coal dealers. Why do they prefer to self to the coal dealers? That Is the question that is puzzling the great number of coal con- sumers In Montgomery.
 It has been said that Montgomery pays as high e price for coal as any city in the country. And yet within SO miles of Montgomery, the coal fields that are surpassed in vastness by only the blac kdiamond lands of Pennsylva- nla are situated.
 Another question that Is being asked is why do all coal merchants in Mont gomery sell the fuel for practically the same price? Che grocer sells sugar at a lower figure than another. One dry goods merchant advertises a sale of silk at a number of cents less yard than another dry goods merchant Tn every business prices differ. The word competition implies as much. But. although there are at least half a dozen firms. persons and corpora tlons engaged in the business of selling coal to the public. there are not half a dozen prices for the best domestic coal.
 prominent Montgomery manufac- turer. a few days ago. made an effort to secure the coal supply for his 60 or 70 workmen in carload lots from va rious coal fields. He wrote the coal operators to this end. He received an answer that the corporation was not in business for the consumer. The dealer was the person with whom they wanted to do busienss.
 And yet coal Is sold to persons in CoOsada for $3.50 a ton by these same corporations.
 The Advertiser in further pursuing this matter telegraphed It's correspon- dent for market prices of coal in neighboring cities.

 The survivors of the recent massa- ere number nearly 10000. Most all of their fiocks and herds, practically their only source of food and raiment as well as income, were completely swept away.

 The diseases have ravaKed the sur- viving people. especially among the children Unless aid is rendered promptly no one may be left to re- ceiVe 1t.

Coal Cheap In BirmIpghnm.

Birmingham, Nov. 25.-CSpecial. )- Good grate coal is selling here from $2 2S to $2 50 per ton. There appears to be a good supply.

The best grate coal very seldom goes over $3 a ton. Rlocton (Cahaba) coal is not plentiful. as much of that product Is being ship ped on export orders
