Editor of The Graphic:

It is stated in the Tribune of the 10th, "the people of Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Port Chester and other towns on Long Island Sound, are to have an opportunity this week to get coal cheap. A barge loaded with two hundred tons of the best anthracite coal is to be sold in each of these places at auction to the lowest bidders. It has been asserted that the coal will sell at about $3 or $3.50 a ton. How nice it would be, if we had a dock so that we could have a barge load landed at the port of Byram, and we could come in with a bid as well as any of the rest of them, we could afford to deliver it and put it in the cellar at $3 per ton, from Byram bridge, to Byram Point, and from Byram river to Byram shore.
