Prices Rise as Indiana Coal Dealers Push Costs Higher
Special to the Indianapolis Journal from Terre Haute Indiana reports that coal price increases effective today boosted demand rather than curbed orders. Operators claim buyers drive the higher quotes and daily offers above the set prices. Winter weather is forecast to push prices up, with anthracite resumptions not easing demand west of the Alleghenies. Black coal prices rose more sharply than bituminous, with Clay County mine prices up from 2.50 to 4.10 and Chicago buyers quoted at 4.00. Chicago price shows a discount driven by Northwest market robber activity, and may drop toward freight-adjusted levels.
