Sales Reported Large.
The extent Of the response Of the

carly and store it. seems to be limited
by the capacity of dealers to deliver,
judging by reports made to the COM
mission. According to these reports
dealers sold in July $3.50 tons, and in
June 500 tons. a total of 1859 tons
With the exception Of 1,142 tons Of coke
all the rest was bituminous coal. During
the same two months period the dealers
received 14,425 tons, including 1856 tons
of coke. This latter report. and the
quantities on hand, indicate that deal
ers are receiving coal about as fast as
they can deliver it. They reported $3.50
