THE PRICE OF COALITE.

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—In regard to the subject of low-temperature coke - (coalite), I find that although a year ago the price at the works was 60s. a ton, the present price is 35s. a ton—a very notable reduction—and the by-product oil is being disposed of at is. a gallon. The prospects are therefore greatly improved of a more general use of this fuel.—! am, Sir, &c., 1 North Grange Mount, Ileadingicy, Leeds.
