for transporting coal. On Tuesday last par.
tial combination had been effectad amongst
those ut this port, and a strike was made for

would net load for less, and a general cessation
Of business was the result. The companies
were not prepared to pay an advanced prlce,
and all shipments of coal from the mines on the

road were stopped at once. The break IN the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad precludes the pos
