Say Coal Goes to New England Ports on Imports
In New England ports coal from English Scotch and Welsh mines is in heavy import. Prices there are high enough to justify Atlantic imports though some say the market may drop. Dealers estimate 150000 tons of bituminous coal contracted for England for the next two months. Transportation costs raise New England port prices to about 10 a ton with Atlantic freighting about 2 more. Coal fuels mills gas works railroads and households. Bar ber & Co contracted 100000 tons of Scotch anthracite for Baltimore Boston Providence and Portland. Miners’ strike idleness draws public criticism for refusing to work during holidays and after.
