( USE OF GAS INCREASE OWING TO COLD WEATHER. (“Times-Age” Special.) As a result of the cold, wet spell of weather there is an increased demand for gas for heating purposes, while a heavy call is being made on coke. On Tuesday 25,400 feet of gas was manufactured, this being the largest quantity recorded for 15 years. It is believed that yesterday's tally was even higher still.
