THE MOIiMXG ASTORIAN. FRIDAY, Al'GVST IS. WOi THE COAL SITUATION; SUPPLY ALMOST U.VHAUST- i:i AXI) XOXE AItHIVIN(i Mne Iollars u Tan in Jersey Cily-Iilers Are I nnMo to Fill Orrtrrs. NEW YORK, Aug. U-Inquirles have been made by the Tribune as to the stock of anthracite coal on hand at several cities In the East with the following; results: New xorlt flty dealers tray 'he r-up- uly here haa been practically exhausted for week. The railroad companies have been able to deliver only a few thousand tons a day recently and much of It la known as washed coal. The retail price of coal In Jersey City la $9 a ton delivered or $8 at the vards. and orders are taken only con ditionally. The dealers have agents out purchasing wherever they can find coal. None la coming In by the cars. Some have a meager reserve supply, but this Is kept for customers with whom they have contracts. Orders for thousands of tons have ben pigeon holed because they cannot be filled. Buffalo reports that the Erie rail road's Hillside la the only anthracite that can be bought there at present. It sells for $5.65 a ton and is not the best quality of hard coal. The Philadel phia ft Reading, th? Lehigh, the Del aware ft Hudson and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroads have all stopped the sale of anthracite at the treaties and have closed their lo cal agencies, thereby putting an abso. lute stop to their coal bulnes. The railroads are maintained the utmost secrecy regarding their supplies and even the Erie officials refuse to say how much they have on hand. All the leading coal dealers say the sup ply is exceedingly limited. At Albany. N. T., the retail dealers have In stock "not to exceed 2000 tons of anthracite coal, which they are sell ing at K to $6.25 a ton. The Dela ware ft Hudson Company has about 1000 tons In reserve at Deianson. This, with 800 tons held by a wholesale aeaier, is an mat can be counted on for Albany. It Is known, says the Al bany correspondent, that the Delaware Hudson has considerable coal, est! mated as high as 50,000 tons, COAL SITUATION ,N OHICA-iO. CHICAGO, Aug. R-Chliago's stock of anthracite coal Is running low in account of the great coal miners' strike. Leading dealers express the opinion that before winter household ers will be compelled to use Utu.nfn- ous coal for all domestic purposes. They say that even If the strike should be settled by September 1, the new coal would not be recsivjd in large quantities before Christmas, so that at least a temporaray use of soft coal is extremely probable. 'Jne present cost of anthraiite to the retailer in car load lots is J6.15 a ton, to whl'.-h la added Jl to the .on- suiner.
