FIFTY CENTS TAKEN
OFF PRICE OF COAL
NEW RATE GOES INTO EFFECT
APRIL I.

Usual Advance of Ten Cents n Month
Buckwheat to be Sold at Low Prices.
New York. March 16.-At a meeting
of the presidents of the coal-carrying
railroads held here to-day it was de-
cided to make the usual spring redue-
tion of fifty cents per ton on the tide
water price of anthracite coal. This
reduction will go into effect April l.
and will make the price of anthracite
coal at the shipping points S4.5O per ton.
I Beginning May l the wholesale price
will be increased ten cents per ton per
month until the figure of IS is reached
on September /, at which price it is ex-
pected coal will be sold for during the
winter.
The smaller varieties of coal, notably
pea and buckwheat, it is said, were
given particular attention at the meet
ing. 1t had been announced that Coke
Brothers, large independent firm,
would offer pea coal at sixty-fiye cents
per ton under last winters price and
buckWheat coal at thirty-five cents less,
and that they had contracted for more
than 100000 tons at these prices. It
was planned to meet this reduction and
also to make an effort, by fixing the
lower price, to regain some of the pa
tronage which recently has gone to the
bituminous companies. 1t was said
that Coke Brothers, as well as the coal
carrying roads. felt the effect of the
lower prices offered by the bituminous
companies, and that they were actuat-
( ed in making their reduction by this
condition. ss.s5,.,4 4
| Acting upon a long contemplated
move" said Fl. G. Ely, the general
eastern manager for Coke Brothers, to-
day, I'VE have simply given notice that
we will fix price for these products
and will move the goods. Our idea is
to win back and retain the former
trade in the small sizes of COAL OF
late this trade Mas been lost to bitumi-
nous producers. Being as we are a
relatively small producer Of anthracite,
the accumulation of the small coal has
been at times more Of a burden than 1t
has been to larger companies with rail-
road Affiliations" 1
