DEMAND FOR CoAL.-Thc season having
set In earlier than usual In this latitude, and
"Jack Frost" having already made his ap-
pearance, found many of our dealers In short
supply Of coal. The demand, therefore, on
the Scranton mines is such, under the cir
cumstances, as TO promise no very lattering
| supplies TO dealers here, and In view of q long
winter 1t Is prognosticated that anthracltcs
will materially advance at the mines before
the middle of October. We learn, however,
that arrangements have been made by T. 7.
Fowler Il Co. and other coal dealers of the
District to be supplied direct from tue mines
with such quantities us will satisfy the de-
mand Of this market.
