The anthr ace coal trade Is In very critical and
satisfactory condhisa In abiding 10 this matter the
Miners Journal has the following-rhe coal operators
held consultation yesterday TO take into consideration
the present state Of trade generally conceded that
no further reduction prices could possibly take place
and If the coal not wanted, the only alternative
to govern the supply by the demand, until purchasers
wanted II and would pay remuncrating price foe is
production To what extent coieries will be suspended
We prepared TO state ibut feel confident that
the shipments will be largely curtaied until thse Is
gres4or demand for coal and better prices paid than
now offered.
The fear Of the 10 market which have been
opened leading from the Lehigh and Scranton regions
furnishing large quantity Of coal during the balance Of
the season. and also during the winter has caused great
timdlty among purchasers in the New York market As
they have fallen much short OF their CALCULATIONS thus
far think the public ought 10 be satisfied that they
cannot expect very heavy supplies during the coming
winter The trade roads moves slowly, partcu-
larry the nrst years. all experience has provedsnd
we think We hazard nothing in stating tha, the Lehgh
Valley and the Scranton railroads win not carry 100 900
ons Of coal to market from December l. 1850 10 April L.
1857, the quantity reaches that amount, and OF this
quantity no, one half will reach New York AMER this
year. the trade must necessarily ncressc from tina, quar-
ter the facilities and demand ncrcase-bot not so
great a ratio as many persons anticipate.
