drop in the price Of slack coal in this
section OF the country is reported The

now for practically less than the cost
Of mining. with the cost OF hauling.
Last year the price lowered around 81
ton but this year il is closer 70 81 a
ton While the factories are using
large amounts OF coal now, the con-
sumption has not been so great as

REVIVAL IN BUSINESS.

Atlanta dealers In stocks and bonds
report some revival Of business. Dis
bursement of July dividends at time
when the prices of local stocks are
low has brought some reinvestment
demand, they say.
Several good-sized dividend checks
have been turned over to investment
dealers with instructions to purchase
the stamped" stock of the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company, which
is a guaranteed 8 per cent security,
selling just now around 1lS. This
stock has held firm, compared with
other local securities.
Power common" is attracting at
tention, too.
