PHILADELPHIA. May s.-Coal Market.-Prices
since our last report have been exceedingly un-
steady, fuctuating as much as 75c ~ ton during a
few hours in New York. In the early part OF the
ly advanced about g. at which Coal was firmly held,
although but few sales were effected, and only for
cargoes afoat This unnatural and excessive activi-
ty was entirely caused by the anticipated suspension,
and on Thursday, when feeling OF doubt became
evident whether it occur, the trade became al
most as sluggish and depressed it had been lever
ish and excited. The question whether aid when
the production of this article of necessity will be cur
tailed has been constantly kept before the public
and, intact has been the cause of all these sudden
changes. As soon as the demand weakened rumor
of a contemplated stoppage would emanate from the
Miners Union, and the desired Feet advance, or
at least an upward tendency, would be gained. This
has been accomplished several times and has proba-
bly, been done too often to again effect the above
result, unless the men go out on Monday, as the
community at large are not to be humbugged by the
same old cry kilograms from Scranton state that
0Otlce mas been given DV he officers OF the Miners
General Council that the contemplated suspension
OF mining Is postponed untif further orders II this
Information is reliable and it probably is prices will
become very much depressed and we may then
look for very dull market until the mines are COM
PEELED 10 stop for want OF orders, when reaction will
probably follow.
