Norwich bulletin., 1915-12-21

The coal situation in Norwich, it was stated by representative of prominent firm in this city Monday night, is not so serious as it is in some other cities of the state. In New London anthracite went up 25 cents ton on Monday, but it holds in Nor wjch to the regular winter price of $7.50 for chestnut and SIPS for the other sizes. In this city the anthracite coal, it was stated, Is 50 to 75 cents a ton lower than in surrounding cities. A shortage was guardde against here and in consequence there Is a supply on hand here sufficient to supply the contracts.
 The present condition is due to the situation in regard to bituminous coal rather than the hard coal. As a result of the embargo on coal shipped to Port Reading, N. J.. put into operation Sat- urday by the Philadelphia and Read ing railroad, New London in common with all New England is threatened with a serious scarcity of coal.
 The embargo by the Reading, com ing close on the heels of the Pennsyl- vania's embargo on all freight shipped over the New York, New Haven and Hartford with the exception of coal for the New Haven's locomotives. means that all freight. even foodstuffs, will have difficulty in getting farther than New York. The Pennsylvania railroad, realizing it's inability to cope with the problem of moving freight into New York, has extended it's em- bargo to cover all freight shipments destined for the New Yorw district except necessary foodstuffs.
 Port Reading, N. J., is utilized by the Reading to concentrate it's coal for the New England and coastwose trade. The order will result in the shutting off of from 300 to 400 cars day with capacity of approximately 150,O00 tons.
 In the opinion of those familiar with the situation now existing the short age of coal in New England will soon embarrass manufacturers and other consumers. Already the price at the mines to those who buy the coal di- rect has gone up $1 a ton and fur ther increase is expected. It is report ed many mines will have to be closed because of the lack of labor or labor troubles.
 There has been an enormous in crease in the consumption of bitu- minous coal for manufacturing pur- poses of late. The supply of anthracite is lessening each day. Other cities in the state are feeling the conditions worse than Norwich. In New Britain one manufacturing concern gave mo- tice of closing down within 4S hours unless a supply of coal arrived.
 The New Haven is having its own Antiquities in maintaining a supply sufficient for its own use, although it is in no immediate danger of a coal famine. The road gets its coal through the fuel department in Boston and is said to have reserve stores which can be drawn upon if the conditions de- mand. The shortage of cars and the congestion of traffic, however, lessened the transportation of coal into this state
 In Montville, at the White mills, and at the Sanitary Fibre 'company's plant at Versailles the supply of coal is about used up and there wood may be necessary shortly.

 to Relieve or Money Refunded.
 The popularity and increase in sales of Hyomei here in Norwich are unique in the annals of medicine.

If it does not, the purchaser can have his money refunded by Lee & Osgood.
 Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. Ii Is pronounced the only method of treat ment that sends by direct inhalation to the most remote part of the air pas sages a balsamic air that destroys all catarrhal germs in the breathing or gans. enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone. and S!ves per manent and complete relief from ca tarrh.

The inhaler lasts a lifetime. and if one bottle does not cure. an extra bottle can be obtained for a trifiing sum.
