Reports on the Serious 
Coal Problem 
{Continued from page J$0) 
sizes of anthracite coal on hand and it is not 
possible to get coal from them. They all have 
been saying that they have been notified fre¬ 
quently, during the past few weeks of “ship¬ 
ment” of cars of coal. These cars never arrive, 
so we are forced to the conclusion that the 
wholesale dealers, after shipment have oppor¬ 
tunities to sell at a higher price and divert the 
cars in transit, 
“This we do know, that we can not get coal, 
and very little is coming to this part of the 
country. 
“It looks as if the coal companies and 
wholesale dealers were going to force some kind 
of a government control of the hard coal 
mines.”—H. R. T., Suffolk County, N. Y. 
No Coal in Sight 
“At present there is not any coal in sight. 
We have been paying $13.50. We can get 
green wood at $4.00 to $4.50 a cord. 
“I think some have enough for the winter. 
Others have hardly any.”—W. A. T., Otsego 
County, N. Y. 
Situation Worst Ever 
“The coal situation here is the worst ever. 
That is, our dealer says it is hardest to get. 
He tells me that he has the promise of all he 
wants after December 1st when navigation 
closes on the lakes, that he had the promise 
of a couple of cars the first of this month but 
they have not shown up yet. 
“The price is the same as last year, about 
$14.00 to $14.50 delivered chestnut. 
“There is very little wood for the reason 
that it is practically impossible to get any one 
to cut it. The price seems to be from $10 to $12 
for 128 cubic feet; that is, a cord of 4-foot 
wood, mixed hard and soft, about half and 
half.”—J. A. E., Schenectady County, N. Y. 
No Wood For Sale 
“Coal is $13.50 a ton and we are unable to 
get what we need. Have not been able to get 
any chestnut coal in the last three months. 
“The price last year was less. There is no 
demand for soft coal, and no wood for sale in 
this vicinity. Farmers have about enough for 
their own use.”—B. I. A., Monroe County, 
N. Y. 
Price Same as Last Year 
“There seems to be plenty of hard coal here 
and has been for some time. The price is about 
the same as last year. If I remember correctly, 
we paid $13 to $14 a ton. Now we pay about 
the same. We are nqt asked to take soft coal. 
I am not posted as to wood.”—J. A. K., 
Monroe Co., N. Y. 
Coal Mixed with Slate 
“Hard coal very scarce, just a little now and 
then, so people will be rushing to get a small 
supply at any price asked. I have had an 
order in for several months for stove size and 
to-day pm-chased of another dealer one ton of 
egg, but had to load and draw it myself. I paid 
$14.74 per ton cash. No credit to any one for 
coal and a considerable amount of slate is 
mixed with the coal. All summer train load 
after train load passed through over the Lehigh 
Valley to Canada, they say, but no coal for 
Moravia. Twelve years ago I paid $4.80 and 
every year a little more. Coke and pea are 
$14 a ton. Some wood is offered but not much 
at $5 per cord about 12 to 14 inches long. The 
fuel situation is certainly getting serious for 
me.”—C. B., Cayuga County, N. Y. 
Situation Better 
“I can say that although the situation is 
better than at this time last year, coal is still 
being dealt out in small quantities. Stove coal 
is hardest to secure. As yet we have been un¬ 
able to buy all which is necessary. Conditions 
are about the same in the neighborhood. We 
are paying $13.75 per ton at the yard. We 
have not yet been urged to use soft coal. It is 
of fairly good quality. The coal prices are 
slightly higher than last year. There is no good 
hard wood for sale in this section.”—V. E. W., 
Oneida County, N. Y. 
Big Trees are Gope 
“The people can get the coal they need, hard 
or pea, but the price is $2 a ton higher than 
last year. Last year the price was $14 and the 
present price is $16 a ton. The quality is not so 
bad. Some dealers got two carloads of slate 
or shale coal but they refused to unload them. 
One dealer has a new variety which he sells at 
$12 a short ton. 
Sawed wood brought at the sale $4 for a two- 
horse load, but wood is not so plentiful. Still 
you can get some. The heavy or big trees are 
almost all gone.”—S. W. B., Bucks Co., 
Pennsylvania.
