that he would not attend the Con-

the reasons he gave were that no

Confronted by storm conditions
which may seriously impede rail de-
liverics and local distribution, New
York city has available at tidewater
terminals for the domestic fuel mar
ket a scant two days supply OF coal.
including bituminous and other sub
stitutes for domestic anthracite sizes.
That conclusion is reached from
figures compiled in the Office of Will
iam III. Woodin. State Fuel Admins
traitor. 165 Broadway. This total
available domestic supply, which does
not include fuel contracted for by city
departments or public utilities cor
porations, aggregates 61,500 tons. of
which about 25,000 tons Is the present
daily shipment OF domestic size an
thracite, $4,000 tons is soft coal and
the remaining 21,500 tons is buck
wheat of the better grades, such as is
prescribed along with soft coal for
use in combination with domestic an
thracite. AS there is virtually no
coke to be had for domestic use at
any price the factors enumerated
cover the entire reserve outside of
such scant supplies as are in dealers
yards
This means that within thirty days,
since Mayor Hylsn regarded a four days
supply as 80 menacing a situation as to

has pesn a depletiSr oS tho reserve

Soft Coal Jump. $50 a Ton.


Until a week or two ago there was n
surfeit of bituminous coal. Since the
order making obligatory the use of sub
stitutes for domestic anthracite the in
creased demand for soft coal has been so
acute that Harry r. Peters. Assistant
State Fuel Administrator. expressed the
opinion yesterday that Is, 900 tons repre-
sents a maximum Of the unsold biturni-
nous now at New York port terminals.
Soft coal prices at the mines already
are going up with leaps and bounds.
Within a few days "smokeless lump" at
Chicago has jumped from $3.50 10 So q
