THE COAL TRADE.

The State of the MInrkct-The Situation In
schuyIkiII-The Lehish Reslon-Qnotations,
Etc.
The trade at this port is better this week than last
There is considerable inquiry for all sizes, ana ior
some tne demand Is greater tnsp an npysa
who are now commencing TO lay In 1or tne winters
supply There has been no change yes IN prices; & In
STOCK and besides this there is said 70 oe an improve
ment In the line trade. These Two iacts nelp mate
Coastwise freights tend to higher prices During
the early part OF the week there was aH abundance
of vessels, but in the latter part they were scarce
The SchuylSll region has quieted down, and we
hear no more of contemplated strike, and probably
will not until the next award Of wages is made,
when II the prices are again lower than the three
dollars further dissatisfaction may be expected. The
letter OF the President OF the W. b. A. to his men
takes remarkably sensible view OF The situation.
He advises them that the last award was made In
lust manner and that there is cause for dissats
faction, they having agreed to be bound by the scale
this is the first time that has worked to the disad
vantage OF the mners-that is, gone below SO. 1t

The following extract from the letter, though not
very grammatical will show the spirit OF the doeu;
ment 1t would have been well If the author nad
spoken thus before he was driven to 1t by the faure
Of the strike:-
Knowing that it is the and intention of the soul

time ali reason would be against you, public opinion

by your committee; besides, It would bring disunon
dismemberment of your association"
Regarding the corporations of the upper counties
he rs about in the right, though every else but
him has discovered the facts long ago. And for
once: we have advice from the opposing party not
to enter into another strike. What can it mean?

Perhaps 3d. Some even say that that was his con-
dton during the whole of the late strike, which, as
IL is affirmed, 1t was hoped would be subservent to
the operators interests in raising prices. In this,
however if the fact both were at fault
The letter, however, fOreshadOws that this advice
will not coincide with the views of majority OF the
men, for it ends with threat that if the advice is
ignored another man may be chosen to the Office OF
President, the present incumbent declaring that he
will no longer hold that position when his authority
and advice are repudiated.
The trade In the Lehigh region is reported very
dull The works are all running and there are n no
prospects OF strikes. AT Mauch Chunk during the
roads and canal 117,95l TONS against 122,257r7 the
