NO SIGN OF CHEAPER COAL.
Washington Retailers Have Not Re-
ceived ANY Word From Mines.

by the federal trade commission that
there would be no justification in the
refusal of coal dealers to make the
usual reductions of prices for the

a reduction. In fact, dealers and large
purchasers alike are somewhat at sea

word from the mines indicating that
coal prices will be reduced by April
Several purchasing agents for gov
ernment departments today made eau
tious inquiries among their friends IN

where II was before the federal trade
