THE SAN FRANCISCO COAL SUPPLY.
Coals are almost veritable black diamonds to this city at present, with the prospect of a still closer resemblance in money value before spring Despite the warnings to look out for high prices about this time of the year, many consumers, and those who can least afford it, are without their winter supplies. Most small consuiuers, for various reasons, buy their supplier of this sort, as they do many other kinds, only as needed from month to month or weekly. The usual orders are for half-a-ton or quarter-ofa-ten. Some even buy by the sack, or at the rate of Top lbs. at a time. These small consumers are the ones that most feel the burden of necessary supplies of coal to do their cooking and washing, and keep themselves warm. Another wet winter like the one last year will be unwelcome in many house. holds where a little coal is obliged to go a long way.

After this month Australia will cease to be a source of supply for at least four months. In September the imports from that source were 16,900 tons, and for the first nine months of the year 135,800 tons, or at the rate of 1,000 tons per month for the whole period. This month to date we have received to 800 tons from Australia, and the three vessels now due (the only ones known to be on the way) will add 8.000 tons more.
