FUEL SITUATION EASING.
Larger Receipts and Mild Weathe
Makes Outlook Hopeful.

with larger receipts of coal and
mild weather the local fuel situation
was more hopeful today than at any
time for nearly three weeks. The fuel
commission and dealers thought that
If mild weather continued for few
DAYS and coal continued to arrive, the
danger Of n famine would be passed
4 fairly liberal supply OF coal has been
received by dealers in the last two
days and permission was given one
dealer by the fuel commission today to
deliver in larger quantities than one
ton lots. The dealer had reported that
he had two cars an hand and had his
back orders all filled. He was warned
by fuel commission however. that he
must use conservative judgment in de-
livering coal and not distribute 1t In
such large lots as to deplete his stock
and leave him no reserve to fall back
on in case an emergency arose caused
by unusually severe weather or tie up
of the railroads.
