 Although the price of coal in New Britain has Jumped in some yards, there will be no such action at the local yards, according to a statement made by Burton Phelps, senior mem Der of the company which has taken over the business formerly owned by H. c. Thompson on Pierce street. The present price of stove and nut coal stands at $16 a ton. It has been sell ing for that price during the summer months.
 The town residents, however, are pretty we'll stocked up with fuel and most of the orders have been filled. Last year there was a shortage due to the freight conditions. The local yards bins are full and 30 or more cars are on the way. Likelihood of coal shortage is almost out of the question as far as residents of Plain vile are concerned. Miss CoOmbs Leaves.
