COKE GOES UP.
I 2/6 PER TON.
• I The distressed housewives of A tick- - land will have another subject of con- ' versation for a few days to come, in 1 that the coke the housewives stand by ' in these days of soaring coal has been bitten with the upward tendency. The ' Gas Company has isued an edict that 3 after the first of next month the present ' price of ooke will be increased by > ti ' the ton. This increase is comparatively 5 small, and in no way proportionate to ' the rise in coal. It is owing to this '" same rise in coal that it has been neees- ■ saw to increase the price of coke, which • has been in much greater demand since • coal became almost prohibitive in price.
