Smith & Son 'i ' u a Market St. at 18th vl (rW i3g ial iiii 9 rrr rrs 111 Philadelphia has 50 of its full winter's coal today And this coal is already delivered in the bins of consumers. Our official reports of October 1 showed -45 of the year's coal delivered. The records of the best previous year showed 38 of the year's coal delivered in cellars on the same date. Most of Philadelphia's 373,000 consumers who put in orders early today have two-thirds of their full winter's coal in the cellar. Thou sands more who use less than six tons a year have their full winter's supply. More than 80 of the consumers in the city have been sup plied with some coal. Of the remaining 20 of consumers, the majority buy their coal 'in small quantities from coal peddlers, and similar sources, and do not order until the need of coal actually appears. - The fact that most consumers have been delivered two-thirds of their full coal supply instead of smaller amounts as in former years, puts the city in a strong position for the winter, because it cuts down the amount of coal that will have to be delivered during the severe winter weather when the shipments are heavier, relieves the rush on the dealer and makes it possible for him to take care of orders more promptly. The coal situation in Philadelphia today can be called good, and if every consumer will practice careful economy in the use of his coal, it should remain good. it: I .Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, $160,000 additional.
