The Business of a Coal Factor is to sell by Commission to the Coal Merchant Coal consigned to him by his Employers at the Place of Shipment. Any Person may however sell his own Coal without the Intervention of a Coal Factor. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, between the Hours of Twelve and Two, are the Times fixed by the Act for the Sale of Coal. After Two, the Books are shut; and the Coal Factor must deliver in the Contract of the Sale by Three o'Clock on the same Day to one of the Clerks of the Market, to whom a Penny is paid under the Head of Market Dues. This Penny was levied under the Act for the Establishment of a Coal Market. The Purchase Money appears to have now been paid off; and it is intended to reduce the Charge to an Halfpenny, which Halfpenny the Corporation of the City of London propose should be applied for the further Accommodation of the Coal Market. There seems to be also a Multiplication of Entries, which, being troublesome, and unproductive of Advantage, might and ought to be reduced. The Time allowed for making the Returns might be extended, and Sales allowed in the intermediate Days, provided they were regularly entered in the Books the next Market Day. The Consumer, however, would be exposed to great Imposition, and the Trade itself be much embarrassed, if the Coal Exchange, and the Publication of the Market Price of Coal, on the Exchange, were discontinued.
