rialize. It is inconceivable that this 

 condition can long continue. 



"Reserve stocks in the hands of con- 

 sumers are daily growing smaller. And 

 speaking of reserve stocks, it is rather 

 mystifying how the so-called nonessen- 

 tial industries, which were presumably 

 receiving no coal whatever during the 

 critical period, were discovered with 

 large accumulations of fuel when the 

 armistice was signed. But why uncover 

 the family skeleton? Reserve stocks 

 cannot last forever. Already many of 

 the well-informed in the bituminous 

 branch of the coal industry profess to 

 see a rift in the clouds, and a feeling of 

 optimism is fast dispelling the gloom. 



"It cannot be denied that the closing 

 down of the soft coal mines, with the 

 consequent decrease in output, has 

 served immeasurably to pull together 

 the strings on what promised to be a 

 loose market. Prices are holding well 

 to the former government maximums, 

 and there is not the slightest indication 

 whatever of a definite price-cutting 

 policy. Most of the coal moving is in 

 fulfillment of contracts made many 

 months ago, few purchases of spot coal 

 being reported. 



"The hard coal industry is still grop- 

 ing in darkness. In spite of the fact 

 that many of the anthracite collieries 

 have shut down, while others are work- 

 ing only part time, considerably more 

 coal than the market can absorb is 

 reaching tidewater. Domestic sizes are 

 plentiful, thanks to an open winter, 

 while the small steam sizes are glutting 

 the market." 



Pleasant Hill, Mo.— P. A. Manson, of 

 the Pinehurst Gardens, says the busi- 

 ness of this concern requires twice as 

 much glass as it now operates. 



Beloit, Kan. — C. Drury is located at 

 the Riverview Greenhouses, near here, 

 following the wrecking of his green- 

 houses at Leoti, Kan., by an explosion.
