COAL SCARS IN NEW YORK.
Average Price Dollar Higher Thar
It Was Last Year.

NEW YORK, November 11.-What
dealers call an artificial famine Of an
thracite coal has sent the retail price in
New York up to an average OF $3.50 a
ton, although the leading anthracite
operators have made no advance
There is no reserve supply whatever in
the yards, and thus far the demand, far
in excess of last years, has not been met.
In some sections of the city $S ton is
charged. The average price today is one
dollar higher than it was last year.
Retail dealers assert that while they are
paying no premiums to the leading opera
tors many independents are charging
bonus for prompt shipments. The search
ty is largely due they say. to panciIy
desire on the part of householders to ac-
cumulate a stock now for the winter.

concluding it during the next session, and
to that end 1t is expected that hearings

Inquiries at the Offices of a dozen of
the largest coal companies in Washington

ment was made that no advance has been
made this fall. aside from the usual win
ter scale of prices, except in two grades
of anthracite
Stove and chestnut hard coal. it was
stated, is - cents a ton higher than at
this time last year, but each of the deal
ers questioned declared that prices of all
other grades remain the same. In reply
to the que stion Have you advanced
prices today, or within week. or do
you intend to advance prices at any
time in the near future?" each dealer re-
piled in the negative
Advance Not Contemplated.
One of the biggest dealers in Washing
ton, when asked if any concerted action
had been taken by local dealers to ad-
vance prices, replied:
mo meeting or anything. of that sort
has been held by coal dealers in Wash
ington recently. No general advance
could be made in coal prices unless
our firm was a party to it. We are not;
we have not even heard a rumor among
dealers that an advance was contem-
plated and we shall not advance our
prices a nickel.
The manager of another of. the big
concerns stated that receipts of coal in
Washington are not as large as in other
years. This he attributed to labor
troubles in the anthracite regions last
spring and to shortage of cars in the soft
coal trade this fall However he declar-
ed that plenty Of coal is coming to Wash
ington 20 supply the demand. and that
unless long spell CT unusually severe
winter weather should set in the stocks
on hand are ample for all present needs.
Prices Not to Be Raised.
In case of a shortage, he stated, his
company would not raise prices, but prob
ably would be compelled to cut orders.
That is, if a patron should, under such
conditions, order ten tons of coal. the
order probably would be cut in half and
five tons would be delivered. The price,
however, would not be increased.
Two of the biggest wholesale coal deal
ers in the city said with great positive
ness that no advance was contemplated
that none has been made since the fall
and winter schedule went into effect. and
that plenty of coal for all ordinary needs
is being received in Washington
Stocks of the wholesale dealers. 1t was
stated, are not as heavy as in other
years, but no shortage exists and none
is in SIGHT according to the managers
