INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 11,1926 7

HOW MUCH WILL COAL COSLYOU? Price Should Stay Same or Go Up, Say Local Retailers. CITE - BRITISH STRIKE But U. S. Mines Bureau Predicts Drop. Will Mr. Indianapolis pay more or tess to fill his coal bln this year than he did last? He should pay less, say United States Bureau of Mines experts, according to a Washington dispatch, and cite the fact that the average cost of soft coal in the United States is $2.04 at the mines compared to $2.21 at this time last year and $2.01 in 1924. He will pay as much, perhaps more, say local retail fuel dealers, who also declare that If “the British mine strike continues Mr. Consumer may have a hard time to get coal at all. "Flint coal and Pocohantas are about the same in price now as they were last year, but if the British strike continues and exports increase as they have been, there ip bound to be a raise, if not a shortage," said Edward Joseph, manager of the Hoosier Brick and Coal Company. High grade soft coals range from $7.50 to ton retail now. and If the strike continues Joseph predicted that these prices may mount to sll or sl2. Will Not Drop / O. R. Stubbs, manager of the Marlon Fuel Company, 1402 N. Senate Ave., agreed with these ideas. He quoted the retail price of Island Creek, West Virginia coal, at $7 JL tjon now. saying that it certain ly would not drop and increasing exports- may cause it to raise. “Pocahontas coal now is $9 a ton. and we cannot get enough of it,” declared H. L. Dlthmer, managed of the Polar Ice and Fuel Company “The market is bullish and for highgrade soft coals the mine prices are in excess of that of last /year. Coal that in 1925 cost $3.50 at the mines now is selling at $4.50.-^ But local wholesalers said that they do not expert any more than the usual seasonable increase In prices of bituminous coal, and predicted that the winter market would be about equal, or maybe a litte in excess of that of last year. Slightly Higher 'Both Virginia and Kentucky coal is slightly higher at the present time than in 1925, they declared. Indiana mines are operating at about 60 per cent capacity, which Is slightly better than last year. Warren Smith of the Consolidated Collerles Company, however, sees in the increased exports to Great Britain, more than two million tons, or 50 per cent, so far this year, support of the opinion that prices may advance. But the Washington reports offer a ray of hope. Dispatches say an end of the British strike is in proa-pect-before winter. So with lahnr conditions in this country indinffting smooth sailing at least until next spring and with production running higher than the seasonal average of the last three years, the Bureau of Mines experts predict Mr. Consumer is In for at least one winter without worries.
