Norwich bulletin., 1921-05-20

hardly expect to share as bonatifully in those markets as we did ;n 1920.
 As to prices. first class steam coal in May, 1920, sold at the mine for $5.75-$6 per ton. The same coal today can be had for $2.s5-$3.75 per ton. Fair steam coal which brought $5-S525 last May, is now available at $2.10-$2.40 at the mine High volatile steam coal which was quoted last May at $5.5O-$5.75 is said to be available. according to quality for $1.So-$2.5o per ton. Firs tclass H. luminating gas coal is offei ed today at $2.60-$3,50 per ton. The present is no doubt Buyers market.
 Through conversation with, local deal CTS I find the price of coal to be made up as follows:
 Cost at mines S7.S0 Freight Gncluding tax of Is cents
 per ton ................... 5.34 Handling .,.. .........n....... 2.50
 $15.64
 Difference is profit to dealer.
 In view of the existing condition it would seem that the possibility of lower prices for coal is necessarily dependent upon the general readiustment, the dur ation or extention of which is unknown.
