Schuylkill stin remains firm, notwithstanding the
TumOrs current concerning the amicable adjustment
Of the difficulties. The working companies OF other
regions driving large trade, employing not only
their own men but great numbers OF the men from
Scnuylkill. Prices have remained steady thus far,
but there is o downward tendency. The demand ia
this vicinity has been goou, and orders have been
supplied from the New YORK ports In the New York
market the demand has not been so good. orders
have fallen of somewhat and coal is being accumu-
lated at the shipping points. Should this accumula
tion continue prices must necessarily fell Freights
from EllZabethport have advanced since the 1st in-
stant. From Port Richmond freights remain nearly
the same as coal be transported at less than
the present quotations with any reasonable hope of
profit.
and NesquehOping men continues Those from Mes
quehoning met President Clark last Friday a
week, but nothing looking towards settlement was
accomplished. At a meeting on the same evening
the men Of that place voted to stick to their terms.
The men are determined TO hold out and the COM
pBny equally determined. Some concessions
must be made on both sides before work can be re-
sumed
brated in Wllkesbarre during the week, with grand
procession and mass meeting The occasion is the
anniversary of the day when the coal operators In
that region acceded to the demands of the miners
and allowed them to resume work after not very
lengthy suspension, upon basis for the price of
mining coal to be governed above fixed sum by
the fluctuations of the Eastern markets, whence tae
demand for coal came. There were about four thou
sand men in line. at the mass meeting speeches
were made by several Of the notorious working
mems champions The affair, for a wonder and
greatly to the credit OF the men taking part wound
up without the popular lawless demonstrations
usual on such occasions. Each delegation, at the
conclusion of the mass meeting marched through
the town and dispersed, the men going quely to
their homes.
