philadelphia Coal Trade April 2stE,,
Shipments from the different regions have been
comparatively light for the current week The strike
of the laborerS the wharves at Port Richmond has
materially reduced the quantity from Schuylkill,
while the strike which has prevailed pretty generally
throughput the Lehigh has limited the quantity from
that region
The wharves at Richmond are at work again the
men having agreed TO the reduction proposed and
we near that az tho coilerles IN the Lehgh will pro
Some few of the collieries in Schuylki and Wilkes
barre are still out, but the Indications they will
soon be at work. and the result will be that the quan-
ty OF coal that will reach tide in the next few week,
will be very heavy.
The, price of coal is now very low and consumers
should avail themselves of the opportunity Of lay
ing IN their supply now and avoid the high prices
which in all probability will obtain later in the sea
many in the trade that coal is being offered now al
figures not remunerative to the operator.
The auction sale of Scranton coal at New York OF
Wednesday last shows an advance over the sale Of
the 4th inst of about forty cents per ton The aver
age price obtained was fraction $3.50 per ton
Most of this coal was bought by Eastern dealers ant
the advance no doubt, was induced by the extreme
low reghts paid from Elizabethport to the Easter
market, as compared with ffeights paid from Por
kichmond7the difference between the two points
being one dollar and fifty cents per ton in favor
the former. Freights from this point have not ye
sympathized with the decline 10 coal. and are toe
high to compete with other shipping ports.
We quote current prices If coal on board vessel:
