COAL POSITION BETTER
Though, there is still some way to go, the coal delivery position is better than it was a week ago, and a good deal better than a fortnight ago. The demand «has eased off considerably, but against that there is a temporary handicap through bad weather holding up one of the colliers at Westport. "We have passed the turmoil that was every day business in the mid-winter months • and even- a- month ago," one of the larger distributors told a "Post" reporter, today. "This week we are distributing orders put in about August 10, but I cannot speak, of course, for other distributors. There are more men available now and generally there is more daylight ahead."
