Marketing conditions in the Fair

eah diylsion Of the b & O.~went Tor
railroad fuel. The loading figures al
that were good at ], 112, which means
that $50 cars would have been reQui-

figures were 523.
On the heels of this it was an.

! This additional coal will go to the

its supply down the Monongahela

The loading yesterday was 1.074

COAL FAMINE IN
NEW YORK CITY
To Be RELIEVED
Fuel Shortage Still Exists,
Near Zero Weather Contin-
ues and Another Storm Is
Approaching,

New York Jan. New York city
today continued to suffer from a COM
bination of ncar-HerO weather and
inadequate coal supply,
Spurred by warnings that a storm
was bearing down upon the city, fuel
administrators and those in charge of
transportation facilities were able 10
give assurance that the situation is
rapidly clearing. Utilization of the
Pennsylvania railroad tunnels for hur-
rying coal under the Hudson river
from terminals in New Jersey, it is
believed, will prove an important fac
tor in solving the problem. Inability
to transport this fuel across New York
bay, because of labor and weather
conditions, had baked the relief
measures of city, state and federal
authorities Lack of heat caused the
closing Of more than fifty schools in
,he greater city today, 1t is believed
most Of them will be able to resume
their class schedules tomorrow.
East side residents who have been
dependent for fuel on yards where
coal is sold in buCketful quantities, to-
tav attacked truck drivers at four of
hese places after being told there was
no coal for sale. At one yard the riot
crs forced their way through the gates
and carried away five tons of coal
before police could interfere.
Ten degrees above zero was the
highest the mercury rose today. Early
in the day one degree above zero was
recorded.
