The Philadelphia LsGger, speaking OF the coai
trade for the past week, remarks
'sThc anthracite coal trade does not yet show
that activity that Is deemed essential to the best In.
tcrests of consumers rs well as producers. 1t is
decidedly duh for the season here in this city, and
we have reports from Boston and New England
generally of a like condition there, while mt New
York the report comes that there Is n fair demand.
and that prices are firm. We repeat what
was said in our last weekly article on this trade
namely. that unless there Is n quickened de-
mand for coal mt once production will ncces-
sarily be checked, rs room Is required for
piling and If 1t were not wanted. the time and
labor imposes additional cost. Those best In
formed rs to the condition Of the trade positively
assert that the annual production of anthracite
coal hence to the end of the year cannot exceed
that Of last year IN corresponding time: and II it
does not, the price of coal is more likely to adj
vance than to decline on present quotations. The
price Of coal ut the mines has fallen off one dollar
per ton since the last Of August, and can scarcely

carrying companies may, should the supply OF
coal lie short of their capacity, In the competition
that may arise for tonnage, put down their
rates, but their reduction is not likely to exceed
twenty-five cents per ton. and Is about as likely to
advance that much as to dcclinc.n

arrangements for the Texas Election

WASHINGTON, September 16.-General
Reynolds telegraphed General Sherman
that the Texas State constitution provides
only one precinct in a county for polling,
and that the counties are go large that
voters from q distance will not have time
to reach the voting places in one day. An
extension Of the time in which to hold the
election is asked.
General Sherman telegraphed President
Grant at Pittsburg, Pa, stating the sub
stance OF the above.
The President replies that if any provi-
sion OF the reconstruction acts allows the
extension Of the time it may be made.
General Sherman, On examination, found
authority to extend the time to four days,
and telegraphed IN order for the extension
to General Reynolds last night.
The same extension will doubtless be
granted in Mississippi if asked for by Gene
raj Ames.
The election IN Texas will occur De-
cember lst, I'd, and Sd. The people will
vote only OF the court-houses. High autho-
rity reasserts executive impartiality be-
tween the two parties, and says that Gene
raj Clarke, Of Texas, is neither as accurate
nor as reticent Us he might be.
