A small quantity of hard coal was
shipped into Audubon this week.
The price was almost prohibitive, but

That was true with sugar last spring.
There never was time when any
quantity OF sugar could not be pur-
chased, provided the purchaser was
willing to pay the price. There IS
relief in sight, however. as sugar was
quoted at 12kc in n,w York ana
Chicago yesterday.
