COAL STORAGE SHOULD PAY.

1t appears that some progress is be"
ing made in the storage Of coal for the
coming winter. Even so early IN the
season as this, some househoiders are
beginning to prepare for the winter
consumption. and the dealers also are
laying in such reserves of coal as they
are able to get.
1t is an anomalous situation; the
dealers or producers In all ordinary
forms of merchandise expect to keep
stocks on hand to meet the require
ments of customers Those who deal
in -four do not call upon the consumers
TO put in their winter S supply; those
who deal in meats do not require their
customers to put up pork or beef by
the barrel in order to have meat to eat.
And the dealers in other merchandise,
likewise, expect to keep enough on
hand, and do keep enough on
hand, to supply the daily demand with
out requiring their customers to carry
the stocks themselves.
1t is different here however. with
coal. The companies which own the
mines and dig the coal will not store
it III an accessible place for the winter
demand, neither will the dealers. And
neither will either the producers of
coal or the dealers in coal give the con.
sumcrs whom they call upon to store
for their own use, any rebate or adj
vantage when they do store it. This
is manifestly wrong, and contrary 10
all business principles. The producers
and dealers should keep supplies com.
mensuratc with the needs of the sea.
