Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Black Dia

THE recent cold snap proved OF

induced western sales agents to order
additional shipments into this terri
tory These heavier shipments from
the eastern coal producing centers
principally the smokeless, splint and
Hooking territories, are now coming
upon the market at time when the
demand has aoain fallen off. The
Chicago trade say congestion of coal
for practically all of the winter W

was just enough cold weather to clean
up the stocks on hand. Immediately
trade plunged into another period
where the supply of coal is likely again
TO glut the market. 1t is little wonder
that, under the circumstances, the

Of milk is no better than the poorest
