IIlcREA
pLEnT COMING


+ The increase in the price Of CEN
trail Illinois coal has been an
nounced at 81 a ton, according to
the w. G. Block company which IS
interested in central Illinois
mines and, maintains tri-city dis
tribution to homes.
]. P. Langford, manager OF the
Block company said today that al
though the local company will be
forced to pay an increase OF II q
ton 1t would increase the local
price only Is cents. This will
make the best grade of soft coal at
$10.50 a ton. This years price does
not greatly exceed the price last
fall when it was $9.75.
Mr.. Langford also stated that ne
expected the price to advance as
the winter demand developed and
the scarcity of cars put premium
on deliveries.
Coal is expected to be coming in
large quantities in a weeks time.
There will be no scarcity, dealers
say. One company announced that
1T received three cars Monday. Is
yesterday, 35 today and expects IS
daily from now on. 1t promised
consumers that by tomorrow morn
ing it will fill all orders that come
to the office.
| No Profit for Retailers.
The increase in the price Of coal
| in the tri-cities will mean no more
profits for the local dealers, they
say. They claim that when coal is
sold at lower price their profits
are just as large. They prefer
! lower quotations because OF the
, capital involved and the waste or
screenings in cars which amount
to more when the price is higher.
The fuel is disposed Of in better
shape and conditions are bettered
all around when the price Is lower,
they say.
Barges Disappear.
The Block offices today were
trying to get in touch with the Col
ira transportation system relative
to the barge shipments that were
scheduled to arrive in the tri-cities
today. The local offices were plan
ming to buy four barges from the
fleet of 10 which were being sent
from Kentucky mines and distrib-
uted in cities down the river. The
Block company will take all of this
coal it is able to get.

ONE VICTIM or

Rock Island sizzled and boiled
yesterday, but came through the
hottest day of the summer with only
one heat prostration. Brief dura-

down the list of summer victims.
A rainfall late. Last night and
early this morning caused a most
welcome drop in the temperature
and brought to an abrupt end the
short but most intense heat wave Of
the year.
