The coal dealers throughout the
country have not been able to get a
price on coal for spring delivery as the
big operators are not yet in a position
to state 'what price they will have to
charge. There has been an advance in
wages to the miners covering the sea-
sons output of $30,000,000 which will
have to be made up by an advance in
the price of coal, but what that advance
will be is not yet determined. Coal
dealers throughout the country cannot
guarantee any .trice but will have to
charge the price at the time of delivery,
Our local' dealers are booking orders
and we are sure they will deliver at the
lowest possible price. .
