NEW YORK DEALERS
DENY ADVANCE in COAL
No Shortage and No Necessity
for Rise in Price, Says
Statement

Word was received here today that the
following statement was authorized in
New York this morning by the anthracite
coal operators:
Numerous reports have reen circulated
that there is shortage of anthracite
coal and that the price is increasing at
various points. As matter of fact there
is plenty of anthracite above ground to
meet all demands and the only difficulty
Is that OF distribution Owing to slack
buying during the summer months less
anthracite than usual was delivered, and
because of the unprecedented congestion
of freight fewer cars are available for
moving 1t. Due 10 the demand in the
foreign trade. the available floating
equipment is also shorter than usual
while unloading is slower because of gem
eTal pressure upon facilities.
There have been no recent changes in
the wholesale price of anthracite. The
last was in 1872 when stove coal was ad-
vanced % cents a ton. chestnut and pea
80 cents as an offset TO the rise in wages
granted that year and to other increased
mining costs.
This has been the only change in the
prices charged by the operators since
1902. except in 1911 Wnen chestnut was
advanced p cents and in 1913 when an
adjustment was made to meet the Penn
sylvania State tax on valuation.
Operators are fully prepared to fight
the consumers battle ny keeping anthra-
cite prices at their present level. Since
1901 they have given discounts during the
summer months in order TO distribute
purchases through the year. Only an ad-
vance in wages can operate to force an
increase in the wholesale prices. The
present output and supply are amply
sufficient to meet all demands"

"If Austria subscribes to the

THE HAGUE, Dec. 30.-Germany
is said to be making preparations for
big drive on the West front. Ac-
cOrding to information from Belgium,
10000 reinforcements are arriving
