said last week to be improving, is still 

 nourishing itself chiefly on promises, 

 on anticipation rather than realization. 

 Perhaps so ghostly a something as a 

 market tone can feed itself for an in- 

 definite period on so thin and ethereal 

 a diet as hopes. At any rate, it is 

 stated that the betterment which is 

 visible in some other liiies of business 

 **i8 not yet reflected in the coal trade, 

 except psychologically. Buyers move 

 cautiously and the market is extremely 

 quiet." "But the position of the mar- 

 ket," it is added, "is every day grow- 

 ing stronger by rerason of delayed buy- 

 ing." In other words, the less busi- 

 ness now, the more in the future. Peo- 

 ple cannot forever escape from buying 

 so prime a necessity as coal, but can 

 only defer the purchase for a limited 

 time. They must buy eventually, if 

 not now. 



"With reference especially to the Chi- 

 cago district, it is said that "the 

 smokeless market is uncertain tempo- 

 rarily. Spot demand is extremely 

 light, because retailers do not want to 

 carry over any coal. Local contract- 

 ing is being delayed and some buyers 

 show a disposition to resist prices 

 asked by operators. In the upper lake 

 district contracting is slow, although 

 the operators are inclined to praise the 

 attitude of the dealers in maintaining 

 prices, which remain unchanged."
