COAL PREDICTION CORRECT.

The ore cars pressed into service and other causes that have been brought to bear on the high priced coal situation, are already beginning to be felt. In several towns in the eastern part of the state dealers are quoting coal a dollar less on the ton than they were able to quite ten days ago. At Bluffton best hard coal is now selling for $9, which sold only a short time since at $lO to $10.50.
