Below normal coal supply hits Quincy amid cold snap
Quincy faces below normal bituminous coal stock as a cold spell settles in. Dealers claim demand will outstrip supply but sufficient coal remains to keep homes warm, though many will not receive all they want. Anticipated arrivals may cover all patrons, with most coal coming from Pennsylvania not due before January. Prices cited: Franklin county bituminous at 5.70 dollars per ton and Springfield coal at 5.40 per ton.
