SOFT COAL STOCKS
IN CITY ARE full
Menace of Shortage Re.
moved by Temperate
Weather of Past Week.

The menace of a possible soft coal
shortage here has been definitely re-
moved. for some time at least. by the
temperate weather of the last few
days. Washington coal merchants de
clared today that they are almost
overstocked with all grades of furnace
bituminous fuel as a result Of old
Father Winters sudden and unex-
pected enlistment in the burn bitumi-
nous" army.
The only grade Of hituminous that
shows any sign of running low is the
run of mine variety. Thus far. how
ever. only a few householders have
adopted this grade of soft coal. and
the local supply has been devoted
largely to local industries. There
would not even be a lack of this
size. it was pointed out, had not the
dealers been devoting their shipments
lar screened bituminous for domestic
consumption.
No Increase Justified.
Washington coal merchants said to-
day they could see no justifica ton for
a material increase in the price of fur
mace soft coal here. After the first of
the new year. when continued cold
weather may swamp the yards with
eleventh hour orders, it is possible a
temporary shortage may result or
higher prices until new shipments ar.
rive. But there is no sign on the
horizon just now TO indicate that this
will happen.
The coal merchants are enthusiastic
