ONLY so Cent Coal
REDUCTION IN This CITY

Beginning April 1, there will be n
90 cent a ton reduction in prices Of
some sizes of coal in Wilmington fol-
lowing the announcement of the deci-
sion of the coal operators to reduce
the price as usual this spring. Ed
ward r. Pusey, today. announced the
reduction TO take place the beginning
of next week and to continue through
out April No guarantee is given,
however, OF continuation of the re-
duction beyond April 3O and Edward
r. Pusey Company is the only con-
Germ which so far has guaranteed the
reduction for the entire month.
At the present time freight rates on
coal to Philadelphia are 40 cents
lower than the rates to Wilmington.
Some time ago the Pennsylvania Pub
lie Service Commission ordered a
% cent cut in the rates on coal, and
Philadelphia therefore has the ad-
vantage OF a possible 10 cent reduc-
tion in the price OF coal as compared
with Wilmington's 90 cent reduction
on account Of the difference in the
freight rate.
