NO COAL SHORTAGE IF
PEOPLE ARE PATIENT
Dealers Hope for q Hot Spell to
Prevent Nervousness and
Rush Orders.
WEST FEELS THE PINCH
Hardware Dealers Cancel Stove
Orders-Many Seeking a
Substitute Fuel.

Coal dealers in this city who were
seen yesterday were fervently wishing
for a warm spell just now to lessen the
rush for winter coal. Large con-
sumers. who were accustomed to Ali
their cellars for the winter during
April to take advantage OF the sum
mer discount, could not get the coal
this spring on account of the suspen-
sion Of anthracite mining in April and
May.
The winter prices for domestic
anthracite will be resumed to-day. the
discount allowed on domestic anthracite
always ending with the last day Of
August. Arthur F. Rice. commissioner
OF the Coal Merchants Association,
which takes in nearly every firm of
dealers in the city. said last night:
In view OF the shortage caused by
the two months Of suspension the
operators are putting forth every
effort to increase the output. Favor
able weather would enable them to
lessen the shortage. but there will 10

depends on the weather. IT - cold
spell set in II would suggest winter
and there would he rush Of ordcrs.
which would cause a good deal of con-
fusion. II on the other hand week
or two of warm weather would come
just now It would be easier TO plan for
the judicious distribution OF the coal.
There will be less than the normal
supply. but there will be no distress
and the shortage will not be great
enough to cause trouble II people don't
get nervous and interfere in its fair
distribution with rush orders. New
York will be better off than most other
lswns'
He said that while individual opera
tors might demand and receive pre-
miums the companies were selling
strictly at schedule price.
1t was learned that individual
operators were asking and receiving
premiums on the schedule prices IN
this city Of from 25 to 40 cents a ton
from dealers who had orders that have
TO he filled at once. These dealers. II
was stated were charging their patrons
the schedule prices and standing the
loss OF the premium.
y representative Of the coal Industry
who received reports last week from
oinerent points throughout the country
on the situation said that the reports
from Chicago showed that there was
situation which might or might not bs
justified.

that retail hardware dealers through
out the West are cRncelling orders for

ny their customers that II will he i'm

winter. They were considering tho

lie heard from Baltimore that IN.

orders for anthracite. There were also
reports that the dealers In that city
were to get together to raise prices.
but there appeared to be no foundation
