Price Of Coal Will Be Higher This Year
Quincy coal dealers warn prices for winter coal will rise. Wholesale costs have jumped 60 cents a ton since August 8, 1916, with new increases anticipated September 1. Local dealers already raised retail prices 25 cents, and with ongoing operator price shifts contracts are scarce. Springfield coal is 40.4 dollars per ton, Franklin 12.5 dollars per ton retail. Dealers expect further hikes as supply tightens and strikes or powder costs bite. The era of fixed contracts ends as mines quote prices periodically and refuse long term deals.
