Hunter was upon the top e.r s high
box car on the Trenton Cut orr Rail-road
near Swe,|,-lan,l when a gust of

COAL PRICES RISING
Prices Of coal both wholesale and
retail, have been advancing at regular
Intervals since Spring, and they will
co higher until Fall, with equal regu-larity.
Tin- upward changes are not,
as gome people have thought, duo to
any scarcity of the product, or to
strikes or tn advanced railroad rates,
imi to a pre-ordained achadnle of the
coal-mining companies, by whom It
w:i: dei Ided corly In the Spring that
wholesale prices should go up 10 cents
a ton every month. Whan this pro-gramme-
was adopted coal had been
reduced SO cents on the ton all round,
and it was proposed to bring It back
to ils original value- by the- regular In-traaae
of m i cuts a month.
"The Object In selling coal lower in
the Bprlng, ami then letting it go up as
Fall approaches," said B prominent
dealer yesterday, "is to make the con-sumer
buy his supply early, thus to
avoid at hast a portion of the rush in
the trade thai alv sya i omee In the Au-tumn."
Naturally, retail prices have to
change with the wholesale But ihe
retail dealers do nol push their figures
up as often as eh, the wholesalers rea-lizing,
as on,- of them said yeste
thai "Individual customers would com-plain
e- at such frequent advances
of lu cents on the ton than they e|o at
in, i, Infrequent ones ot "', cents." So
ths retail prices go up every two
months and a half, advancing 25 cents
on thi ton each time.
In April and May white ash stove
coal sold for |6.>E a ton, and in the
middle of June the price was raised to
J.Y.'eii There will he- another raise, to
|6.76 on Beptember I. Bigg and broken
