COAL WILL DROP 30
Gents ON MONDAY
Dealers Say Decrease May
Only be Temporary Be-
cause of Uncertain
Conditions
LITTLE PEA SIZE
FOR DOMESTIC USE

Edward r. Pussy. OF the Edward r.
Pussy Company. coal dealers. made a
statement today relative to the pros
poets for reduction in the price of
coal, starting on Monday. 1t is Gus
tomary for the price to be reduced
April 1 of each year, but conditions
are somewhat different this year, ac-
cording to the statement Of Mr.. Pussy
lie states, however, that although only
one operating company has announced
reduction, his company will reduce
the price 80 cents per 1000 pounds
starting Monday for coal for immedi-
ate use, but cannot guarantee how long
this reduction will last il Is under
stood that most of the other local
dealers will make a similar reduction
on Monday under the same conditions.
Mr. Pusey's statement follows:
with April only one day OFF the
time for the usual spring reduction
in the price of anthracite coal there
has been but one operating company
to announce a reduction up TO this
time and this only for immediate
shipment, where heretofore they have
given a price for each month in the
year and the dealer could arrange his
price accordingly This puts the
dealer in a position where he can
not guarantee the price for any speci-
fed time.
In the face OF this uncertainty. We
are reducing the price of nut, stove
and egg coal 90 cents per 2QQ0
pounds for immediate delivery and
tine chance of being able to secure
sufficient coal for this particular COM
pany at once 10 supply the trade that
desire to buy for next winter We
believe. however, that this will be al
most impossible and If we find IL 10
he this way, we will be compelled
80 buy at the high prices and in this
event it will be necessary 20 advance
prices again, as under the existing
labor conditions We will not be able
10 maintain the low price
Further we cannot obligate our
selves for delivery beyond the stock
which we may have on hand or in
sight From all obtainable infOrma-
ton a. this time IL appears that pea
coal which has become very popular
for family use in recent years, will be
practically off the market as on ac-
count of the very high price OF BIZ
luminous coal. the manufacturers
have contracted for a very large per-
centage of this size for use in their
plants. This will leave very little
for domestic use. Buckwheat. which
IS a steam size, has also been bought
up by the manufacturers, and it. is al
most impossible to secure any at all

DRIVE ON THRIFT
Lessons in Christmas Buying
by 9. s. Treasury.
Get War Certificates Instead of
Trinkets Is Slogan.

Washington, Nov. 3.-A concerted
assault on all extravagant and useless
Christmas buying will be part of the
gigantic war thrift campaign to be
started shortly by the treasury depart
ment.
Frank A VanderIip, president of
the largest bank in America, now the
dollar-a-year director of the two bill
lion dollar issue of war savings Ger
tificateS, will drive home to the peo-
pie the importance of buying Yule-
tide gifts on a strict economy basis.
A spirited educational and patriotic
campaign to have the SIS certificates
used as Christmas presents will be
made.
The purchase of trinkets. fripperies,
useless but expensive knicknacks and
unproductive luxuries will be discour-
aged by the government.
To array all its forces most effect
lively in war against Germany, the
United States government will become
unofficially the leading spug in the
world by striving to prevent all use
less giving. The buyer of a war saw
ings certificate not only lends his
government money and himself draws
four per cent interest, but in addition
he helps win the war by diverting his
money from unnecessary and extrav-
agant uses, says Vanderlip. Any pur-
chase or investment which uses these
goods and services for purposes that
do not help win the war constitutes a
liability TO the government and
should be curtailed if not stopped. he
adds.
