"Tbe Lebish Coal and Navigation Company;
After general debate on the prospects OF the eoai
trade for the present sesson, Mr.. Frederick fIaley
submitted proposition 70 the effect that the Schuy-
kill Navigation Company would advance their through
charges for toll on coal - cents un over the charges
for 1857 provided the Reading Railroad Company, the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, and the Le-
high Coal and Navigation Company would make cor
responding advan their respective lines. Nnere-
upon said proposition was referred 10 committee,
consisting OF the Presidents Of the several Companies
referred to by Mr. Fraey.
At an adjourned meeting, held yesterday, the fol.
lowing report WAS presented by the COMMITTEE, ana
unanimously adopted, 10 wit
The Committee report That after carefully considering ;he
adop; IT, believe that by orbesrsnce AID moderation on
the PAT Of engaged in the coal trade, the rates aud prices OF
the yesr 1857 be obtained They think that with the grad
ua Improvement general business the c trade VIII also as
me healthy condition In the meanwhile slight nequal'
the charged for tolls or for ransPors
ton will probably regulate themselves H. however, ,hey should
b. found any particular line such al
tanning and prices rather than TO take monopoly OF
business. ..,. .ov
