THE COAL TRADE.

The quantity sent by Railroad this week
is 63,0S9 07--by Canal II ,502-for the week
74,601 OF tons against S0,237 for the cor
responding week last year.
The Reading Railroad Company has done
wonders. The quantity transported to
market this week is largely in excess of any
former weeks shipment since the opening OF
the Railroad.
The shipments by canal were for one day
only, Thursday, but large number of boats
had accumulated at the landing since Satur-
day last, and as soon as the rates of freight
were arranged on Wednesday evening, the
the boats were rapidly loaded.
Much of the Coal sent to market this week
was taken from the stocks piled the mines
and some portion of it is from the Lehigh
Region, which passed over the Beaver Mea-
dow, Quakake, Cattawissa, Little Schuylkill
and Reading Railroads to market
The average capacity of the Collieries in
Schuylkill County for the balance of the
season, will not exceed, if it will reach, S0,-
600 tons a week.
FREIGHTs by CANAI.-The Canal was
ready for business on Saturday last, but a
difficulty existed between the Boatmen and
the shippers about the rates offreight. The
shippers offered 81 G5 and 81 20 to New
York, and would increase it ten cents per
month up to November. The Boatmen de-
manded 81 so and 81 rs. The shippers
were compelled to yield, and they com
menced loading boats at the rates demanded
by the Boatmcn. The rates of freight to

Carbon, and so from Schuylkill Haven
