COAL CRISIS
SHORT AT WELLINGTON. (By Telegraph—Ter 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 gas works is normal, but the railways are short, and large'orders have been placed at most of the mines, and these naturally have had preference. All the State mines are more or less idle and nothing is coining from the Coast. It looks as if it will be a fortnight easily before any Coast coal will be available to merchants for household use. Dealers will have to depend almost entirely on truck coal from Waikato.
