ClTY'S COAL SUPPLY
Is ABOUT EXHAUSTED,
FUEL DEALERS SAY
Continued from page 1.

which the city will purchase coal at
the mines and distribute it TO anyone
there who is in need OF fuel. The
question arose because. OF the fact
that the Camden Board OF Education.
on December 9. had complained OF the
manner in which the schools of the
city were heated. The City Council
also decided that as soon AZ the sum
appropriated is exhausted that more
will be added TO IL.
The plan OF the Camden Council met
with no opposition and a committee
has already been appointed who will
begin at once to go into the matter
OF purchasing coal.
The distribution of the coal will be
accomplished by means OF city fue'
commission which was appointed by
the Council and which will operat,
Independently of the State Fuel Com.
mission.
Il is probable that such an idea
may be tried in this city.

after expressing dissati sfactlon with

DIVISIONS were slow at the outset.
(By Thomson & McKinnon.)
-Feh o.

Wheat-The idea that the recent ad-
vance in wheat had largely discounted
underlying conditions was expressed In
today's market In the way Of further
realizing sales. Sentiment was helped
to some extent by an abundance Of snow
over the entire Southwest. This same
sentiment is to be discovered in the fact
that Kansas City May wheat has In
creased its discount under Chicago and
Winnipeg The reason for believing that
1t is simply an expression OF opinion
rather than any change in the underly-
ing situation is that foreign markets
continue to show strength, movement
from first hands here at home is de-
creasing and moderate export business
has been done in United States varieties.
1t is true that the amount of wheat on
passage Is larger than year ago. but
It Is also true that stocks in store in
the United Kingdom, Argentina and Aus
tralia are considerably less. a compila-
tiOn as of Feb. /, covering stocks afoat
and In store, shows a total Of 51,OOO,OOO
bushels, against 1871 100000 bushels last
year This situation accounts for firm
ness in foreign markets and the steady
export trade. The visible supply in
North America decreased around 4,OOO,-
600 bushels the last week. While 1t may
be possible that the present price dis
counts many things, 1t seems also proba-
BILE that there will be no important
downward trend in prices If it develops
that importing countries Will continue
to take the offerings Of exporters, as is
now indicated. We therefore, believe that
the selling side of the market, except
in the way of REIMBURSEMENT of hold
ings, Is to be avoided.
Corn and Oats-These markets now
have the benefit of decreasing receipts
in addition TO their relation to wheat,
but over and again this, the export de
maud for corn is not good ana the dis.
ributing trade in oats continues disap-
pointing. because of the heavy accumu-
lations of both grains at terminal mar,
kets and the slowing down Of the cash
demand we do not expect independent
strength.
Observation-Disclosures hrmness in
hogs precludes the Idea OF lower prices
for products, inasmuch as they are al
ready below manufacturing basis.
European trade Is a little slow just now,
but is expected to improve.

were the factors in tOday's stock ex-

While there was somewhat more
irregularity than has been the case IN
