COAL SUPPLIES SHORT
ANXIETY IN WELLINGTON. [ Per 1 -Press Association ] WELLINGTON, June 24. 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 havjj been placed at most of tho mines, and these naturally must have preference. All the State mines are more or less idle and nothing is coming from the coast. It looks as if it will be a fortnight anyM’ay before any coast coal will be available, and merchants for household use and dealers will have to depend almost entirely on truck coal from the Waikato.
