COAL NOW,

REA OF THE DEALERS

pelieve Car Shortage in Short Time Will Be Worst Ever Experienced Here.

That now is the time for the man who has not already filled his coal bins to think seriously of doing so, was the consensus of opinion among retail coal tnen of the city Monday. The coal men are warning the public that the shortage of coal cars, prevailing in all fields, threatens to become an imminent danger when colder weather sets in. It is already more serious than in any previous year. It is already curtailing the supply and, naturally, is bound to affect the'price. In this position the operators, who are at the mercy of the

railroads for coal cars, were in common agreement with the retail men and did not see how there could be any improvement in Ihe situation for some time. Her^ is what some of the prin cifral dealers have to say: '."There will be another price advance about the first of next month. There l&^going to be one of the worst car shortages -this year ever* known. It is worse now than ever before at this time of the year. People who give thelt orders in the morning and expect ,to be accommodated the same day are

-going to be disappointed. It will require three or four days to All orders.

are

twenty-five cars behind on last

month's orders. The first cold weather, Jgith snow and sleet delaying trains, will precipitate a bad condition in the

coal business. If the miners get in i three days now they' are doing exceptionally good."—J. D. Roberts. "Now is a good time ^o buy coal, be-

qause the miners are not so rushed and 1"! „c$n get the coal out in better condition.. Scarcity of coal cars will be worse later on than at the present

time. There is liable to be another adj- vance in price the middle or last of Oc"to^er. Th0coal from local fields is goiws* to the horthwest, where better A# prices are being offered than at home. *j|" There is so great a shortage in the 111 northwest that they will pay almost

Anything up there for coal."—Charles

"Hi Hays, Terre Haute Coal, and. Lime

-*!11 company. ?*-r'We are handling twenty cars of coal jfS'i a-day. People are wise in putting in their' coal now, on account of the dry ani the sheds and cellars and

Walks being in good condition. When SjjjL cfet'Is "Wfet it Vill 'air slack' or crumble Vf* not give the best service. We lofct two days at our mines last week ?on account of the car shortage, which will/continue."—George H. Gfroerer,

United Fourth Vein Coal company. C9alr,prices are going to be higher, duetto the increased demand and car It -^shortage/ The consumer is wise to buy new."'—George D. Bray. *.p. G. Hall, of the Indiana coal trade bureau, said: "The car shortage is

Safe 'of the most severe ever experi-

and a11

indications point to a

shortaSe

in the next sixty days.

.., RetSners were very slow tottake in coal tl*e last part of the summer and have hO'iStorage on hand. The consumer is

t'i^apendant.from

now on on what can-be

hauled in the-carts, and #ie operators ate short from 150 to 250 coal cars on (dimiestlc orders. The roads say they »*not supply the cars, and there is no likelihood they will, so that the situation Is bound to become more acute."

ir|bOJJNEtL TO JUDGE COLTS.
