Slow unloading at Boston docks widens coal distress
In Boston harbor yesterday 69,900 tons of coal remained aboard 54 vessels with 47 at the docks and seven in the stream. Anthracite and bituminous totals were 46,116 and 27,084 tons respectively. Dealers reported slow discharge despite ample supply, while warm weather briefly eased demand and allowed some regular customers to be served. Prices of 12 dollars per ton for anthracite and 10 for bituminous were expected to hold, with a potential crisis if a cold snap or storms delay ships and roads further.
