" _ of a Disaster to Newfoundland. 0 A ST- JOHNS. September l.--The Evening Herald says: The recent alarming increase in the price of North Sydney coal, which now rules at $6.25 a ton, forms a subject of serious economic import for our people. The causes which have led to this advance are many,and of such a character as to make it unlikely that any return to the old time rates of $4.80 a ton can ever be brought about. The chief reason for the advance is the establishment of the steel works at Sydney, which will con- sume 1,000,0(l) tons of coal per annum. ' Preparations for the continuous, efficient- conduct of this ente!'prlS¢ h88l'l0ocs`eitated_ a curtailment of the export, and as the demand I8 Strong the price has gong up in Proportion. The high freights that steam-L ers HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EARN VVELSH MINERS AT CARDIFF . 'l since the Boer war began have brought n about an advance in this item, and the delays met at Sydney of late have oblig- ed charterers to add a Sum to cover pass. ihle losses through demurrage claims, For the next eight weeks none ofour ves. sels will be able to load at Sydney at all, as the coal company have many steamers awaiting charter and want to get these worked out-. Wit»h the steel works, the enlarged sales in Montreal and Boston, and the transient shipping demand the price must be maintained at the present _ ti,<.1:ure, if it does not go higher. Other _ factors bearing onthe matter arethe Euro- pean demand for British coal and the ` strike of the These things impart an upward tenden- cy to the price of coal on this side of the water as well as on the other, and the well , informed observer sees ahard time ahead for our people the coming winter. The total importation of coal into this colony is now about 100,000 tons a year. Of this H iannum. The sealing and v siting steame city and suburbs is therefore about 50, say, 2,000 tons.
