Dealers predict coal price drop next month in Bridgeport
Bridgeport coal dealers say prices will fall on April 1 possibly by 50 cents to 2 dollars per ton depending on new mine costs. Current large grade anthracite remains 26.50 in Bridgeport. Vincent Brothers founder Aulen F E Vincent asserts a price reduction is likely next Monday, based on independents’ mine costs rather than contracted coal. More shipments and competition are expected after April 1 as buy early campaigns begin and supplies accumulate.
