UP TO 81 BY
SINGLE FIRM

Following the rumors OF increase in the
price of coal that hace ben I'm circulation
something definite was given today when
Curran g. Burton announced an advance
of 81 per ton on all grades.
This is the only firm OF any Importance
I'm the city that has raised the price to 81
per ton; and whether II follows a general
advance is not known"
This is the season when the price of
coal is usually raised because of the diff
fUultles OF transportation during the win
ter months: and IL may be that when the
effect of the announcement is seen by
this firms sales, the prices all along the
line will be brought up TO this standard
A fact that gives color to the belief that
this firms announcement is but n feeler
is that there was a meeting Of the vari-
Gus coal interests this morning; but the
result no one outside of the dealers could
learn, and they would give no informa-
ton
Some firms when asked concerning the
raise In price were non-committal, while
others were OF the opinion that. no mat

prices OF their coal would still remain at

Ing from the publication in Germany OF

stir in France on account OF the SIDE

ward the republic. and today, in connec-
ton with the centenary tomorrow or
the battle OF Jena, which opened the
gates OF Berlin TO the victorious French
army, the newspapers here are filled with
articles on the Subject.
The general verdict is that Emperor
Williams action in dismissing Prince
Bismarck for counselling inhdelity 10
Germanys Austrian ally was highly hon
orable TO the emperor, but nevertheless,
entailed grave consequences.
The prevailing opinion here is that
there is some important secret behind
the publication of Prince Hohenlohe's

tiOn 10 attribute II less to court intrigue
than Co a maneuVer TO advance the anti
monarchical movement by discrediting
personal rule in Germany.
