DROP IN PRICE OF
 SOFT COAL PREDICTED

New York, July 15.-A reduction in the price of bituminous coal was pre- dicted here today by members of the subcommittee of railroad officials and coal operators meeting here to com plete details of plan to relieve the coal shortage in New York city, New England and the Northwest
 By scientific distribution of cars the committee hopes to provide a steady stream of coal to the affected district. Under this plan the commit tee members believe the coal speculat ors will find it impossible to exact the high prices that the acute shortage has made possible.
 The car question alone is the stumb- ling block, it as said, the coal operat- ors having assured the railroad rep resentatives that enough coal can be mined to supply all orders. The short age is estimated at 250,00o open tor cars, only fraction of which number it was said, are now being built.

FIRST QUOTATIONS ON WHEAT
 FUTURES IN THREE YEARS

Chicago, July 15.-Prices started lower than expected today for future deliveries of wheat, the first of such prices quoted in nearly three years. December delivery opened at $2.72 to s275. Estimates by traders before hand were that the initial figures would be about s2.so.
 A rush of business came at the out set, but in very few minutes the ex citement as S to wheat was ended and the uproar was greater by far in the crowds that were trading in wheat and corn. As a precaution against a wild market almost prohibitive mar gins were required for transactions in wheat. To this fact mainly was attri- buted the rapid dwindling of the vol ume of business and the quickness With which the ppit assumed a1 everyday matter -of-fact aspect.
