S. Price and Sell at High Con tract Rate, Says Garfield Washington, Oct. 8. Twenty-one rulings for the guidance of coal op orators, jobbers and dealers were is sued yesterday by the coal adminis trator, Harry A. Garfield, to clear up some of the uncertainty and misun derstanding that has existed in the coal trade since various price tixlng orders have heen issued. It has been brought to the attention of the ad ministrator that jobbers had con tracts to buy coal as low as $1.25 a ton and that they were selling this coal at $2 a ton, the maximum price tlxed by the President. Some job bers who have contracts to sell at |3 a ton have been buying coal at the President price, $2 a ton, and thus making a fifty per cent, profit. The new regulation, putting a stop to these practices, provides that job bers who, at the time of the Presi dent's orders fixing the price of coal at the mine August 21 and 23, had contracted to buy coal at or below the price set in those orders may not sell at a price higher than what they pay, excepting t add the proper job ber's commission.
