Hudson gets 66 per cent. of the liver-
ss tldswater price of coal at New

Erie gets the other ‘35 per cent. for the
transportation and expense of selling
the fuel. The circular tidewater price
is 35., and it. costs about 20 or 25 cents

REMOVAL OF DUTY 0N COAL.
TORONTO. Ont., January 13-The
Globe today says: “It. Is not improb~
able that the bill now being put
through the U lted States Congress
for the rumour! of the coal duty on
imports from countries granting the
same privileges to coal exported from
the United States In the result of n
tacit understanding between the au-
thorities at Ottawa and \.ashingtou.
that cum-urrent legislation should be
passed. thus avoiding tho danger of
sideriug a treaty through the Senate
at Washington. ‘."i‘he prospect of a
reclproal cancellation of the duties
meets, with general approval among
Toronto manufacturers. The trade in
soft coal is practically of the same vol
ume into and out of Canada. Ontario.
and in a smaller degree Quebec. are
the pi‘ovinces,,that pay the coal duties.
while the maritime provinces and the
West. are exporters."
