PRICE OF COAL GOES UP.
Winter Schedule of $725 Per Ton
Goes Into Effect.

The annual winter Increase Of prices in
coal took effect yesterday when the
price went up TO S7.25 per ton. It Is the
custom OF mine owners to regulate the
price OF coal for each part Of the wear
On April there is drop OF 30 cents ton.
and starting May 1. there is a monthly
advance of 10 cents until the regular win
ter price is reached.
While the fifty-cent increase is the same
all over the country. the price varies In
different communities. Hard coal in New
FORK sells for $3.50 ton. 20 cents lower
than in Washington. This is due to the
difference in freight rates.
The reduction in the spring is made
largely To induce the purchase OF coal ir
large quantities during the summer
months. This year. it Is said. the con-
sumers failed to take advantage OF the
reduction In price to the same extent tha,
they have in past years.
