COAL AT MINES 1925 PER TON.
Despite tho Drop in Price, There is
Great Shortage Of Orders.

Punxsutawney, Pa. Jan. S.-Spot
market prices for bituminous coal
have reached the lowest point in the
past three years, and the market In
this territory Is dem lized. with
mines at many points shutting down
due TO lack Of orders or inability to
operate at a profit.
i Ell days ago, when spot coal had
reached 1925 ton, it was thoughu
that was low water mark, but there
has been q steady slump since tncn,
until now spot sales are being made
at $2.25. and some at 50. This il the
lowest price in three years, and pret-
ty close to the low point Of pre-war
times.
Even after this drop to 81 from
$14 ton, or better, there is no de-
said that with the coming Of lower
prices there would be better trade.
But with every cut in price dullness
in the market has increased.
Most every wagon mine in the ter
ritory closed when the price dropped
to 81 ton, and now the slow de-
mand and the 50 to $2.25. price have
resulted in tho shutting down of
many Of the h!g tipple mines. Indi-
cations are that some Of the very
largest operations will soon be idle.
Thousands Of miners are out Of
work. Jobs Of any kind in this part
Of the State are at premium.
Operators claim that at tho pres
cnt price Of coal no mine in this sec
ton can produce coal at profit, and
a number have announced wage cuts.

We talk of the necessity Of preserv-

Ten cents is the price now posted
for graduated sugar and as the price
sinks to within 100 per cent of where
it was five years ago, the evidence ac.
cumulates that huge conspiracy
fairly snatched the cash from the peo-
pie. 1t was the worst orgy by pro-
fiteers the United States has ever been
a victim Of The only consolation is
that a good many Of the profiteers
were caught in their own nets Wan

The big ones who put it over
shamelessly let thousands of their
confident customers lose hundreds Of
thousands while they were unloading
just before the crash People in big

business men.
