PHILADELPHIA. May 15.-Coal Market.-The sus.
pension this week in the Lehigh and Schuylk coal
regions has demonstrated how uncertain ay trade i,
when governed wholly or in part by combination
to gain their own selfish ends, On last Saturday il
was generally understood that the stoppage had been
indennltely postponed, and Thursday, when il
took place. 1t was an event of general SURPRISE Even
the men at most of the colleries were prepared to
VOTE, and in many instances had started when mott
ned TO stop. There was no material change in the
production OF the other districts until Yesterday
when the Wikesbarre and many OF the Delaware
now appear from present indications that the sus
pension will become general, but ON this point we
VIII not hazard an opinion. We DO not believe
iibe information to how tar they can control the
men, put unless they can make it general all will
advanced from 75c "a 90 ton but there ia no
great anxiety to obtain supplies at these prices
There Is apparently but little change to report in the
but with no undue excitement among purchasers.
