IHE GOAL Trade FOR Is5l.-Ths quantity sent
l9; for the week. So AS III tons Total bv raiIroad
l,447, lis ls; do by canal, 4sl ,lOs 10 tons. The
trade from this region continues good and for sons
accumulation at Richmond, and although other
regions are plng part of their coal, the supply
from this region is shipped as fast it arrives at
tide. The season has been peculiarly favorable for
the prosecution of business so far, with the single
exception of deficiency Of water for stsam pur-
poses at some of the colleries, caused by the
unusual drought which has prevailed here for the
last three months. Frosty mornings have, how.
ever, set in upon US in earnest, whi,h affects tho
running Of the machinery OF the railroad to Ger
tain extent, and we may expect that the trade will
hereafter gradually decline until the close Of the
year. We learn that the supplies OF ceal in yard
in the principal cities not large, bu. the in
creased retail trade during the earlier part of the
season, renders dealers cautious In laying in args
supplies for winter sales They need, however, be
under no apprehension that there will be any re-
duction in price below the present rates The guam
tty of coal sent from the Shamokin coal region to
Sunbury, up to the 10th inst, was 1887 tons, .
little increase over last years supply Vessels are
in demand, and freighs from Richmsnd are quoted
at 80 cents to New York, 81 25 to Rhode Island and
81 80 to Boston

appearances the increased supply sent to market this
year will reach 20t COO tons Of this quantity about
600 000 tons properly belonged to last The frehets
OF that year caused short supply and all the markets
cleaned out Of the usual stooks remaining over,

Deduct this amount from the increased supply and 1t
