Punxsutawney, Pa.. .Ian. s.- .-""pot market prices for bituminous coal have reached the lowest point in tho past three years, and the market In this territory is demoralized, with mines at many points shutting down due to lack of orders or inability to operate at a prollt. ,'1 cn days ago, when spot coal had reached $:t.2.r) a ton, it was though... that was low water mark, but there has been a steady slump sin^.> tarn, until now spot sales are being nude at $2.25, and some at $2. This h, tho lowest price In three years, and pret ty close to the low point of pre-war times. Even ?iftcr thi*: drop to $? from $14 a ton, or better, there ls no de mand to speak of. In the fall it was said that, with the coming of lower prices there would be n bettor trade. Hut with every cut in price dullness in tho market has increased. Most every wagon mino in the ter ritory closed when tho price dropped to $4 a ton, and now tho slow do mand and tho $2 to $2.26 price have resulted in tho shutting down of many of the 'vg tipple mines. Indi cations aro that some of tho very largest oporatlons will soon bo idle. Thousands of miners aro out of work. Jobs of any kind in this part of tho State aro at a promium. Operators claim that at tho pres ent price of coal no mino in this sec tion can produce coal at a profit, and a number have announced wngo cuts.
