Because the wholesale price or hard
coal charged by the big mine operating
corporations was advanced 10 cents per
ton this morning, the local dealers last
week added rs cents per ton TO the 30 cents
per ton they added several months ago In
anticipation OF the rise.
The yassert that the advance I'm the re-
tail price OF anthracite coal In this city Is
due TO the advance In the wholesale price
as set by the coal mining companies In
Pennsylvania
They say that advices received from
other places show that the advance was
made In this city last week has already
been or will soon be put In force In most
OF the cities and towns OF the New Eng

was announced last Tuesday, making the

dence. In Newport the price of white
ash stove has been for some time past 81
In the street, with an extra expense Of 25
to 80 cents pereton for delivery into the
cellar.
In some OF the small towns where the
average hauling distance Is shorter and
more coal is put out per team the retail
price Is usually slightly lower than In
large cities. The lowest summer price OF

towns mostly places of small population.
The highest price has prevailed at Low

paying 81 per ton.
