In normal times the quantity screened bituminous is negligihle. this being an anthracite-burning com munity. Shortly before the “hurn. bituminous” drive opened there was none 1o speak of in the bins of Wash ington. Many dealers had stocked np with coke, thinking an anthrecite community would prefer to pay the higher price for that fuel rather than turn to soft coal. Paid Higher Rates. When the dealers did seek to place big orders for screen bituminons, it was found that the bulk of the supply in the soft coal flelds that ordinarily serve Washington had heen sent he Western States, where it has a regular market. Asx a resnlt, the dealers were obliged to lnok farther away and pav added freight rates 1o get the fuel to Washington. That Is one of the bhiggest items to account for the increass in prices since the anthracite strike got under way. In addition—and this fact has been pointed out before—the quantity of screened bituminous manufactured by the soft coal operators is comparative- Iy small. It is somewhat easier fo handle, particularly to consumers ac customed to anthracite, and is less Austy. These three things make iis price higher. It fs exactly the same fuel as run-of-mine, however, which now sells for around $8.50 a ton, and when used according 1o instructions now heing given will burn just as efficiently.
