Production in the Ulali coal fields is nut running much mole than 80 or Ii5 per cijlt and prospect for securing any additional tonn.ige of coal within the. next ti'.i or !I0 days Is anything but bright, according to information Yeceived by H. L'. Clilou pek, manager of the Kmytlie-L .mor gan ( o. ot this city. The advice of a Peacock c.oel op erator to the local firm is to buy all the 1,'tah coal it is possible for vhem to gct and to sell no faster than the coal is actually delivered Is they wish to play safe on sales ami prices. TuH.Utan mines are producing! more Cviul than any other mines in the west during the ttrike. and us a result of their activity, the railroads of the Aorthwe.-t are depending on 1'tnh. for the neeosrary futl with which to run their trains. As a re sult of this, customers who sell to retail trade are .experiencing great difficulty in securing coal. The Sniythe.Lonergan concern has , re ceived only two carloads out of a total of 15 ordered during the past !ew weeks, and the receipt of fur ther coal is problematical.
