A Boston coal dealer says supply is improving and prices unlikely to rise if consumers avoid panic buying. Hard coal intake in September 1912 rose from 133 173 tons in 1911 to 174 114 tons, while soft coal moved from 345 977 to 440 111 tons. Anthracite receipts totaled 174 114 tons by rail and water. Mayor Fitzgerald asks the Chamber of Commerce to study coal pricing, with Coffin noting past expert committees and a likely quick effort.
