WHO SHOULD LOSE?
The advancing prices on many
cobzmodities and the recent fire at
the G.T.R. freightshels at London
raises a pertinent question. We have
heard the term, prices advanced so
often that it has almost become a
stock phrase. However, it is almost
impossible at present to place an or-
der twice in succession that some
part of the order has not advanced
Buying is just as an important -fac-
tor in business as 'selling. Merchants
place their orders ahead to protect
themselves and customers. Contracts
are based on prices at the time. M -
ter placing the order, possibly one
or two advances are made before the
goods are -delivered. If these goods
are destroyed in transit, should the
railway pay the invoice price of the
goods or the advanced price at which
the merchant will hairss to pay to re-
place them.? We r-nvite discussion.
We noticed in -the Farmer's. Sun,
Saturday, February 28th, that the
finest quality of anthracite nut coal.
for March delivery was quoted at
$7.44 E.O.B. mines. This looked
good to us and we were going to see.
if we could get in some of this $7.44
coal. However, there was: a clause
telling us to add to above cost, Am-
erican exchange and freight to your
station. We went into the matter
and found it as follows:
Coal at mine, F.O.B., net. ton $7.44
American exchange, 16114 per
cent 1.19
Freight to Kincardine 4.30
Weighing 0.10
Total $13.03
We found that we would have to
pay for carting the coal from the
station to our home and also we.
presume we would have to pay pro-
portion of the wages of the man
