The price of coal in Portland has never
been SO low since the coal strike in 1902
as it is at the present time. Although
the price paid by the dealers has been
advanced 80 cents ton since last April,
the retail price there has not changed,
The present price is 1915 ton, with four
per cent. discount for cash orders, while
in Boston customers are paying s.. p a ton.
There is no logical reason why the price
has remained so low" said representa-
tive of local firm Friday, ''as many
dealers are not making any money. The
coal dealers are not making as much
money now as they were in 1895 when do
nestle coal was being sold for $525.
Competition by independent dealers is
assigned as one of the reasons for the
present price
