far apart as possible. for some predict

be plenty Of II, at the right price.
It is fact not to be denied that there

Take Opposite Views.
It is claimed by some prominent coal
dealers here that when the mines shut
down last summer a great many for
eign laborers betook themselves back to
their "old countries" and that the
miners are now unable to fill UP the
vacancies. The mines are, therefore,

that coal is going to be short.
That IL one side. Another. presented
by the optimistic dealers. IL that coal
is a little short now. due to the late
ness with which the mines opened up,
and to the further fact that New York
dealers are paying above market prices
in order to fill their big early season
orders. Now. II Is claimed. coal mines
more than three or four days in the

Other Dealers at Sea.
These optimistic dealers draw the con-
clusion that the present output from
the mines. granting that a small per-
centage Of foreign laborers have re-
crossed the waters, Is much greater
than last year. and that as soon as the
big New York orders have been filed,
the miners will at once begin filling
orders from other cities at normal
prices. It Is further claimed that prae-
tically all Washington dealers have

fore the strike began. Finally, 1t 10

washington as early as in most other
cities. Add all this together and you
get normal supply Of coal and q nor

There are still other dealers who at

And there Is really no way to tell I'M
til the New York dealers have their
supply laid in. So far, however. prices
on all varieties OF coal remain practic-
ally the same as last year.
