City Coal Dealers Predict No Great Winter Shortage
Indianapolis coal dealers on Tuesday morning voiced confidence that the winter would bring no severe shortage in the area. They attributed price increases to railway car shortages and lack of motive power rather than actual coal supply, noting 25 cent jumps in Indiana steam coal and all soft coals. A prominent dealer estimated parties in the coal trade could use 40 to 50 percent more cars than are available, with grain traffic also tying up equipment.
