Operators Combine To Keep Up Prices In Boston Coal Trade
Testimony before a congressional committee shows coal rates in Boston fluctuating from 90 cents to $2.50 from 1898 to 1903. Randall says city consumption reaches 2,000,000 tons bituminous and 1,800,000 tons anthracite annually, with three firms able to supply Boston’s needs. Delays in unloading, terminal limits, and foreign trade strain docks as vessels wait weeks for cargo. Captains Crowley and Bliss dispute sharp rate claims, noting rates around $1.40-$1.75 for several ships, while overall freight costs reflect competition for tonnage.
