w ed at salt lake city ta a few days ago ph hi the coal situation H C wil william 19 general mana manager gerof of the utah fuel company is quoted as saying among other things vol T belie believe e the safest plan for those who hane the storage room is to buy fuel for next winter early this summer it is true that nil all the fuel producers urged the same proposition last fall and then prices took a slight drop I 1 instead of a rise during the winter but the conditions which caused that drop were entirety entirely abnormal they could not be foreen fore cn and no mm inan did foresee them but it is so probable that ual it amounts tp to almost an absolute certainty that those conditions will not occur again this year it Ms is more than likely that the reverse will occur and at any rate coal is not likely to go go any lower than the present prices the man aho who vho buys now hns has nothing to lose and und may gain a reat great deal business conditions are picking up and people must mut have frel tel anyway no matter in what shape business busi nesa conditions are the demand for coal for manufacturing purpose is increasing and there can be little doubt but that it in crease still more As soon s comes normal which will pr bedy be by fall there if is likely to be arti wity one of these trouble lei w ill the securing curing of men for the mines at pres present nt the mines are run nt with ith about ond orid half their forces force L more men could easily be be cured but there is no use for them at present aho ah e coal snipes hane ha no storn estorage ge and to increase e the force would simply be over production without any place fot the 16 surplus and nd by reason of the 1 I boriago bor tago of men now if there bould come corne a rush of orders in the fall fah caused for example by the public generally postponing thu the pur chaze of fuel until the tte last moment that would mean that the mines have to increase their forces I 1 AM suddenly and to get them organized that cannot be done in a day and in the meantime the mines could not produce up to capacity the winter inter consumption of co for household purposes in the inter mountain country is la about nil all the mines mines can produce working A under the best of condition conditions in past sea sons it has been more and that caused a famine and untold hard ships if everything is left to the last moment it can but mean in in crease in prices and no fuel at any price this winter therefore seeing that pr prices ice i are about the bottom it carin cannot cit be bad ad advice ice to follow to buy copl 1 thi summer for winter use railroad leq bee u the proposition in about the same light they say that the fall crops which promise to be unusually heavy will have liae to be moved in short
