PRICE OF COAL
TAKES A DROP
Figures Lowered Three Dollars
a Ton to Move the Sur
plus Stock

with conditions in the coal business
back to the normal and supplies
enough on hand to last up to and
through next winter, importers are IN
a position to lower prices"
This statement was made yesterday
by James 3. Smith of the Western fuel
company in explanation of "a decline
OF SO ton in the cost of coal, the first
downward move since prices jumped
TO emergency figures shortly after the
fire in 1906.
Although it has been generally
known that the supply of coal stored
in and around San Francisco was far
in excess OF requirements, prices were
held up by the importers, who main
tained that the cost of transportation
from collieries to market was so high
that drop in prices was out OF the
question. But the coal barons, finding
IL impossible 10 hold up prices any
longer in the face OF a limited demand
during the summer months, have finally
been obliged to grant reductions in
order to stimulate business and rid
themselves of the burdensome supplies
they are carrying.
CUT IN ALL GRADES
The new schedule Of prices that went
into effect yesterday includes all kinds
OF house Goals and means great saw
ing 10 the nOuSehOlQeTS or the COM
munity. The Wellington coal from
British Columbia and the Richmond
and other brands Of Australian. which
had been wholeseling at s12 a ton, are
now quoted TO dealers at SO, while the
Coos Bay article is down from SO to
81 This should bring the price to
consumers down to s12 for ton
lots of foreign fuel, while the Coos Bay
article should be retailing at SO. with
the usual extra charge for smaller
quantities.
The Retail Coal Dealers association
has as yet taken no action regarding
the price to be charged to consumers,
but individual dealers all over the city
have reduced their prices in conform
ity with the decrease in the cost at
wholesale
TWO DOLLAR MARGIN
The retailers formerly had an agree
ment by which the minimum margin
at which coal should be sold was fixed
ar 81 a ton, but this margin was in
creased to SO some time ago, the retail
ers contending that the high cost of
horse feed, labor and other things
made the advance necessary. Now,
however. prices for feed are steadily
declining, and hay alone is fully $6
q ton lower than IL was two months
ago. This in itself is a big item, and
with the cost Of other things going
down in proportion return to the old
system of selling at a margin of 81
over the wholesale cost can reason
ably be expected.
