Coal.

The following statement, says the North Ameri-
can, believed to be correct, will enable every one
to Judge OF the probabilities as TO the supply OF
this article:
The supply required TO meet tie
demand, is 1900, goo tons
There are already at mar
ket, from all quarters, $4,000
The Delaware and Hudson
may add say the utmost, 10000
The Lehigh, ilrelieved from
difficulties, 100000
Making total Of $4,000 tons
Which leaves 10 be supplied from
Schuylkill, 10000
If the Lehigh should pot get into
operation, $4,000
Whatever the supply shall fall short of this
quantity, will be the deficiency, and whatever may
be the deficiency, it will be felt by the consumers
every where.
Some have supposed that consumers in Phila-
delphia will be exempt from risk. II il be meant
only that they will be able TO get a supply, this,
though doubtful may be admitted But at what
price will they getl This is the question: Prices
will surely rise.
Foreign coal, we are told, has already advanced
two dollars a chaldron. We have no means of
ascertaining whether this is correct.

the father ust expiring. The situation of The
family was known To no one ill it was discovered
