HIGHER COAL PRICES
 WITH MINE PAY BOOST
Sources of Supply Quotes Figures Approximately $2 Per Ton
 Higher Than Before

Pittsburgh, Oct. 29 P-simul- taneously with the announcement Of wage increases for miners of bitu- minous coal in the Western Penn sylvania region, 1t became known today that within the past week prices for coal were on the upgrade. Leading producers said the rapid rise was caused by a heavy export demand, the rush of domestic con- sumers to fill their bins for the win ter and sundry other developments which affected the market
 It was practically impossible to get definite figures on the retail prices of coal. but 1t was known that in Pittsburgh proper, the cost per tor ranged from around s7.OO up to s9.o0. Several weeks ago coal for domestic use was quoted at from s5.50 to $500 a ton.
 Operators said the British min CTS strike, causing a heavy export demand to European countries, was one of the chief reasons for the price increase. They were agreed that the old law of Supply and de- mand" was governing the market.
 Miners wages. In many instances, have been increased above the union scale in order to bring every avail able worker into the mines in an effort to supply the heavy demand.
