COAL PRICES TO
Be HIGHER DURING
THIS SUMMER
PEOPLE HERE MUST PAY MORE
THAN THEY DID DURING THE
WINTER FOR FUEL.
OPERATORS ALREADY GIVE NOTICE
High Grade Domestic Coal Will Be
Around Dollar a Ton More at the
Mines Than 1t Was Before the First
of the Month.

| While the coal situation is still I'M
certain and from present indications
| tie supply is not going to equal that
! Of the past, at least not for some
l.eople of Columbia will not buy their
coal any cheaper this summer than
they have had to pay during the past
winter On the contrary for the high
! grades of domestic coal it is quite
likely that the consumers here will
pay from fifty cents to dollar a ton
more than they have been paying.
The increase will not be so great on
the cheaper Goals, but it is unlikely
that any grade of coal can be bought
this summer for the same price that it
sold for during the winter. Ordina-
rily the price of coal drops during the
summer. The mines reduce the price
and it is the policy of the retailers to
cut the margin of profit in the sum
mer time. This is done for two rea-
sons, one to encourage the storing OF
coal in the summer keeping the mines
in operation and then it actually costs
tie retailers less to make deliveries
IL the summer than in the winter.
DR.. D. D. Little, of the John A. Wal
ker & Company, stated that on their
highest grade coal they had received
notice already that the price would be
advanced a dollar ton and that there
might be further advances during the
summer However, the price to the
consumer will not be advanced to this
extent as the retailers will absorb
about half of the advance so that the
Price of this highest grade Of coal will
nc about half dollar ton more to-
the consumer than it was during the
winter The advances already init
mated on cheaper grades Of coal run
from fifty to seventy-iye cents a ton.

The miners Of the high grade Goals
are slow 10 promise delivery, in fact
in some instances stating hatly that
they cannot meet the demand. AT
this time il looks like the Western
Kentucky fields will furnish more coal
than any others. The advance in the

that other items of cost in the mining

Opinion differs as to the effect On
the fruit crop of the freeze of Sunday
night. Ii is generally agreed by all
observers that The apple crop has not
been seriously injured, II it has suf-
fered any harm at all, but some ex.
press the opinion that peaches have
been very anuch injured and short
crop will be the result.
Apples were not so far advanced as
peaches and the buds were compare
lively dry. Although there was lit
tic shower in the early part of the
night, the wind later on dried out the
buds. 1t takes very severe .renze
to injure apples when the trees are
dry as was the case last night. The
wind kept the trees in motion and no
ice formed on the buds. However, a
colder temperature again tonight
might play havoc with the crop.
The peaches on many trees, asDec-
tally those of the early varieties, are
partly formed and are very suscapti-

1t is estimated that they can be tide
