HEAVY DEMAND

Also, demand for Cape Breton coal in Newfoundland ane JF Ports along the: St. Lawrence River was. particularly heavy this past fall. .

Had American coal not |. been available at competitive prices, Kslanders would have been faced with a serious shortage, he Maintained.

A third Charlottetown coal mer- chant said that he would buy no more coal in Nova Scotia. He complained that he had had con- stant trouble with mainland sup- pliers ever since the last war.

“Those people there are = interested in selling coal.” said, adding that sometimes Was necessary to wait as long “al six weeks for receipt of orders, and substitution of poorer quality was often the case.

On the other hand, the same merchant said, orders forward- ed to West Virginia are usually confirmed the next day, and the product received is always well washed and screened, with

He pointed out that this im- Ported coal could be sold in the Province for the same price—as normally charged for Old Syd- ney. This was possible because the initial price of the American product was considerably less than half that charged by maia- land sources. Customer action was excellent, he said.

CLAIMS REPORTS UNTRUE
