PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 27.-Coal Market-Tbe
market has been very heavy and depressed during
the past week the high Freights ana Scranton sale
tending to prevent further purchases except to piece
out stocks for the ensuing winter business. AS usual
in the last week OF each month the Scranton sale on
Wednesday has been the chief feature, and since
that time it has been the all absorbing topic of con-
versation among the trade, 1t was generally con-
having declined since the previous sale but the great
fall was wholly expected. This extreme differ
In values Is probably owing to the uncertainty
of purchasers being able to procure their Coal before
the close ef navigation large numbers Of vessels and
barges being now detained at Elizabethport, waiting
their turn tor Coal en- former contracts. The condi

doubt will be greatly Influenced by the weather; II

m0meter, we could also, with some accuracy, fore
tell the fluctuations in this district. The following
