st. Petersburg. Aug. 22-In spite Of the
wholesale arrests and deportation OF revo-
lutionists the big centres daily chronicle
Of murder and robbery is not appreclably
diminishing. The police seem TO be ut
terly powerless 10 capture the perpetra-
tors OF the crimes.
They do not make an arrest I'm one case

tion TO the government has thus degen-
Grated into campaign OF crime the three
politically parties, the Constitutional Dem
ocrats, octoberists and Regenerationists
are drifting. The efforts TO effect an ANAL
gamation have failed and all the leaders
seem 10 be greatly at sea as to what tao
ties 10 pursue.
The Rech which reappears today makes
an attempt TO analyze the situation but
evidently II does not know which way TO
turn.

COAL DEALERS
ARE RET|CENT
ABOUT PRICES

So far as can be learned from the local
coal dealers. there is no immediate pros-
pect OF an advance I'm price Most of them
profess not 70 know anything about it.
limitations are made. however, that a
rise may be looked for in the indefinite
future but whether this may be expected
In September. when the price ordinarily
hes gone up, seems TO be as yet uncertain,
according 10 such information as the deal
ers seem disposed TO give.
The assertion that wholesale rates have
gone up 90 cents per ton is the basis upon
which an advance OF % per cent. per
ton 10 retail consumers is thought likely;
but the dealers are very wary OF refer
ence 20 the big advance I'm price made
last spring when their stock had been
purchased at n rate that offered what
consumers consider no excuse for the
jump. as no advance had been made by
the operators from whom they purchased
their supply.
In view OF the state Of public feeling
over the eXorbitant price OF ice. as shown
by Col. Webb's report, no one OF the coal
dealers seem very anxious TO pose as
either predicting or advocating an in
crease over the prices that have prevailed
for several months; but among them there
appears 10 be an evident willingness to
once so that public criticism may thus
be prevented from being directed against
any individual.
In view Of the conditions that for some
time have existed in the trade and the
feeling between the trust and the other
dealers IL Is naturally uncertain how soon
an amcable united agreement TO advance
the price might be reached; and IL the
possible rise thereby is delayed. consum-
ers OF course will receive the benefit from
II.

morning the Inquiries of II News Demo-

first treated the subject with apparent

Mr.. White OF the John r. White com
pany said that he had learned OF no pros

communicative at best and confined his
statement 10 the assertion that he did
not care TO advance information OF which
he was not positive.
Mr.. Campbell OF the Eastern Coal
company said: Although | have not
learned OF any prospective rise | think
IL probable, from the fact that the whole
sale price has advanced 90 cents ton. II
Is not unusual TO advance the retail price
In the fall; and under present conditions
IL would be quite natural TO expect a
rise In the near future
