is THERE A run" ON coALp

Without attempting to minimize
the serious nature of the situation,
there is note of sanity and reason
in the suggestion by the secretary
of the Coal Merchants Association
that the consumers of coal be a bit
more reasonable in their demands,
and, in this parlous time, buy only
for their actual needs.
In the case of any necessary article
of household use than can be stored
and used at will, the same situation
prevails as in the case of a bank
which has a reserve of cash that is
ample to carry on its regular bust
ness for the day. The bank is per-
fectly solvent, its securities are be-
yond reproach, but it doesn't happen
to have the cash. Somebody with
a little cash in the bank hears of
this and draws his balance, telling
somebody else who also has a little
money in the bank. And before long
all the somebodies with little accounts
are at its doors demanding their
money. The result is, a run and the
closing of doors.
There is no doubt something of the
same sort happening to coal. The
dealers do not deny a shortage of
their reserves. But they make the
remarkable statement that despite
this shortage there has been more
coal sold this month than ever before
and considerably more ordered. 1t
stands to reason that this statement
is true.
The consumers OF coal have be-
come panicky, just as the little de-
positor in the bank becomes panicky.
The individual consumer who usually
buys u ton of coal at a time, now
wants his whole winters supply at
once. The coal dealers declare they
cannot supply the entire District
with it's winters supply, and ask the
consumers to be reasonable. II
would seem that this request is no
more than just.
