Local Firms Welcome First Anthracite Shipments
Bridgeport area coal dealers report the first anthracite shipments reaching the city with two cars delivered to Stratford Coal and Grain and two to Hoffman Coal. Additional imports expected in coming days, though total winter supply will be limited. Mines plan reduced output after a wide shutdown, with 560000 tons available nationally, prioritizing larger cities. Bridgeport may receive some early coal due to proximity to New York, but much coal heads to the metropolis and other New England areas.
