COAL nacE.siTuipR Coal Situation Prices 8«i^ Very Un- settled at Preseai-Ull^ Expect It WUl Be H^ Enough All coal conanmera, quite natun- ally, are anxiously awaiting settled conditions in the coal trade and a definite prioe for coal. Immedtately following the award of 27 per cent increase to the miners by the Gov¬ ernment Coal CommlsBion. Associat¬ ed Press Reports quoted operators as stating that the price advances on ac¬ count of the increases tn wages would ataOunt to fl.OO to f 1.60 per ton. This statement was no doubt made to cover the totals of all the recent increased and to include some districts where coal was selling be¬ low Xlovernment maximum prices un¬ der a large mov^nent under con¬ tract, and with the assumption that the full Increase would now be plac¬ ed upon the latest prevailing max¬ imum Oovernment • prices. In whieh event there would probably be a rang,e of that difference in price in such districts. That there will be sueh a substanttai' increase in the prlee of coal generiiUy, however, ap¬ pears at this time t^ be'extremely Improbable In the light of abundance of evldett<|e to the opntmiry. Attor¬ ney OM^rel Palmer ah^ representa- tbraa fit tM miners are quoted as estl- matthc the actual increase tn the cost of production on'account of the >7 per cent advanWy^ln the scale to be but about fortjr / cents per ton. One of the leading coal producing companies doing bdSiness in this sec¬ tion has notified Us customers that the increase over recent prevailing Bfite^wlU be somewhere within the range or" from twenty-flve to fifty centf per ton and are ^waiting the adjustment of all the new district agreements and conditions before making a definite price. We have been further Informed that the open market movement of coal since Ap¬ ril the flrst under the new scale In the St. Louts and other .nearby mar¬ kets has been at slight Increases In price only ranging from fifteen to fifty cents per ton. In addition to the Wage scale the matter of car supply ts one vitally affecting costs of production, and the old law of supply and demand as well as weather conditions ^111* in future, as in the past, contlne to exert an Influence tn the coal mar¬ kets. While it ts early as yet to predict just what additional burdens will be placed npon the consumers, owing to the other contingencies than the f. o. b. telne prices, such as freight dray, etc., but it appeara reasonably safe ta estimate that the car load purchaser wiI|i<M]f: trox\ thirty to forty cents nl*W er ton, and C' smaller purchasers will pa^t-'tfbm one to two cents mora perTJnshel t<>r coal. ^ ./ cmr Park to re bkautikied The city Dads of Flora are eofktem-1 plating beautifying the olty park,* Oeorge 'Vandyke, the florist, who Is also a landscape gardner, having drawn plans to modernise the park and beautify tt.
