The piece notes coal shortages across Indiana and Kentucky, with Pittsburg and Ekhart regions reports exhaustions. Anthracite sells around 7.75 to 8.25 dollars per ton while soft coal goes about 4.50. Muncie and other towns report shortages.

Local Indianapolis coal prices list various grades from 4.50 to 6.00 per ton, with coke up to 7.00.
