COAL SHORT.
NO SUPPLIES FROM COAST. (By Telegraph —Press Association.) - WELLINGTON, This Day. Concern is felt in regard to local coal supplies. There is stated to be a minimum available for house supplies. The stock at the gasworks is normal, but the railways are short and large orders have been placed at most of the mines and these naturally must have preference. All State mines are more or less idle and nothing is coming from the coast. It looks as if it will be a fortnight anyway before any coast coal will be available to the merchants for household use. Dealers will have to depend almost entirely on truck coal from the Waikato. «
