With not a single car of coal coming
into the city during Monday night the
local coal situation today did not take
on a very rosy aspect. The Iowa Cen
trial. which is depended upon largely
for the local coal supply. did not bring
load of coal of any kind into Mar

of southern Illinois, while the Gregory
Coal, Coke and Lime Company re-
ceived a car of hard coal
Because of the receipts on Sunday
there is no more immediate danger of
an actual famine today than there has
been and, with the continuation of good
weather conditions the situation should
not become more serious. A hard
storm, however, or extreme cold wealth
er that would interfere with traffic and
increase the consumption of coal,
would doubtless prove a calamity.

estimated today that somewhere
around thirty cars are now in transit
for Marshalltown. They are supposed
to be somewhere around Oskaloosa.
Central Establishes Embargo.
The Central has established an en-
barge of its Bartlett. ILL.,, yards, just
out of Peoria, ILL.,, the junction point
where all the switching is done. Nc
freight of any kind for the west is
being received from connecting lines at
that terminal, and no freight is de-
| livered to connecting lines. This has
been done in order to clean up the
Yards and relieve the congestion. With
| the embargo in effect few days there
| should be some relief and more ac-
tice movement of coal, but the embargt
has been on since Saturday, and thu
local situation has not changed ma
| terially in that time.
Word to the Clarke Coal and Coke
Company's branch in this city from the
headquarters office at Peoria, received
by Manager Smith over the phone to-
day, was to the effect that it wa
thought the embargo would be raiset
today or tomorrow.
