Deal bo. St., CHICAGO. • Chicago Coal Notes. After experiencing a few weeks of heavy business the local coal market has taken a decided slump. At the same time it was announced that the price war among the retailers had again been renewed. Most of the prices are yet quite steady with the exception of smolveless mine run, which has dropped from five to ten cents per ton. The increased demand for coal the last few weeks caused .many of the mines to ship domestic ?:Coal to Chicago unconsigned, with the hopes that they would be taken up upon arrival. This has proven a dis- astrous move, for a large number of cars are now in this vicinity, being held for demurrage. These cars con- : ist mainly of smokeless coal and are being sold at remarkably low prices, so as to get them off their hands. This is an opportunity for many flor- ' ists who want high-grade coal. R. C. Whitsett, of the R. C. Whitsett Coal & Mining Co., reports very favor- ably upon his greenhouse business. He has renewed many of last year's con- tracts and expects a decided increase over last year's business. Mr. Whit- sett has compiled a large list of satis- fied greenhouse coal consumers which he would be pleased to mail to others upon request. D. S. Willis, secretary and general manager of the Harrisburg .Souther
