Coal l^tocks Highest fo r Seven Years


^OAL stocks In Clitheroe are now higher than at


any time during the past seven years.


Mr. W* Butterworth, of


Littlemoor - road, Clitheroe, the depot manager, and him­ self a coal dealer, told an “ Advertiser-and Times” re­ porter yesterday that stocks In the town were 250 tons more than usual at this time of the year.


Coal merchants, he said,


were noy able to supply con­ sumers with their full allow- :e of five cwt. per month,


although in many cases this was used up during the first fortnight or three weeks.


COLD SPELL Up' to Christmas, consum­


ers themselves did not appear to be tio badly off for coal, but the I recent cold spell had caused | more fdel to be burned,! with the consequent depletion of the householders own reserves.


For those consumers who


exhausted their allowance be fore the month was up, there were the unratloned fuels with which t o . eke out their supplies!' One of these fuels, the. recently introduced nutty slack, which retails ' at 3s. l l ld . per cwt., was received.., with mixed feelings by |the''' consumers, said Mr, Butter worth. Although it was! not good juality coal, many people would buy It in! an. attempt. to spin out their ration-yof-,ordinary coal. . ’ I 'f 'i ■
