B@ According to a statistical report
in the Philad. North American, the quaD-
tity Of authracite coal shipped from the
different coal regions of this State, from
the commencement OF the coal business
(in ls20) to 1851, is l04, 1872, I79 tons
In 1890 the whole amount sent to market
was 365 tons. in 1860, the year in which
the trade reached its highest figure, s.
450 ,053 tons we're consumed, nd iu 1851
the decrease from the previous year was
495, SAT tons This decrease as no doubt
caused By the scarcity of hands, the coal
regions having sent off whole regin ents
to battle for the Union We frequently
heard coal operators state that it was i'm
possible to prepare the coal as fast as ship
pers wanted it.
