GO SLOW ON COAL
Buy Only for Immediate Need,
Consumers Advised.
No Danger of Shortage and
Market VIII Break.

Washington, Oct. S.-High bitumi-
nous coal prices are unjustified and
consumers who have as much as q
months supply on hand should buy
only for. immediate need, the Ameri-
can Wholesale Coal association advised
today.
There is no danger of a bituminous
coal shortage, the association said, and
indicated by holding off buying con-
sumers can cut prices. The statement
of the association was prepared by its
executive committee.
1T is the opinion of the committee
that great change in the whole mar
ket situation is imminent" the state
ment said.
Citing reasons for its conclusions,
the association pointed out that c. E.
Lesher, formerly statistician of the
United States geological survey, esti-
mated a production of IL, 5000 tons
of bituminous coal week until De-
cember will meet an immediate need
and pile up a 40,000,000 ton surplus.
The geological survey reports show
a most satisfactory stock of btu
minous coal now in the hands of con-
sumers," and reports gathered by the
association show that large consumers
who recently had no storage stocks
now have six weeks to three months
supply the statement said.
In addition, many large buyers are
no longer taking any grade of coal
offered and many coal concerns are
finding it difficult to dispose of their
stocks, according to the association.
This is reflected in price drops as high
as 81 a ton in the. middle west.
| The association also pointed out
that the close of navigation will re-
lease 10 the general trade coal from
mires now sending their production
to the northwest by the lakes.
