ing from $3.75 TO 81 with the
indications that the bulk may go
at 1915, this quotation being for
Fairmont gas coal. Sewlckley and
other grades were sold at $3.50 to
1915.
According to the dope received
here some pool A was shipped to
Curtis Bay for speculative pur-
poses at 81 or stronger, but it now
turns out the shippers are stuck
for II and are offering 1t to the
railroads at that pier for $3.50.
Pool "a yesterday was as firm
as $40 and as low as 1915,
which is rather an unusual range
in prices.
Reports were current yesterday
that the B. & o. paid $3.50 for
coal, but that would appear lit
tie strong for the present condt-
ton OF the market.

gate was 1904 carloads While the
price Of pier shipments has been
practically as low as regular line

none too stiff at that during this
stage. Last week there were SO
