The Coal and Iron Interest.

PRESENT CONDITION OF THE COAL TRADE.
The quantity sent to market last week ahows
very heavy increase again over the correspond
ing week last year.
The increase in Anthracite is 135, ,49S tons, the
shipments of Anthracite for the week summing
up 41O,3 1856 tons against 274,s5s tons last year.
The increase in the supply of all kinds is 129
tons overlast year. The whole increase OF Anthra-
cite this year 80 far is 1908, ,1S4 tons, and semi
Anthracite 4S, 7G0 tons. The BtumiDous trade
has fallen off so far 1854 tons. The increase
| this year of all kinds SO far over last year is
| 1,4S4, 1893.
| The Pottsyille journal, of Saturday says:
"As it is reported abroad that stoppage is
| likely to take place in Schuylkill county, we VIII
state that we do not apprehend anything OF the
| kind at present. simply because no object could
he gained by it at present. If prices should rule
| too low, some collieries may stop, but the men
have had enough of stopping this year unless
compelled to do 30 for want OF market Tor
COAL"
The same paper also says:
| "Tbe press abroad can benefit both consumers
and producers by advising all who can 70 lay IN
their supply of coal now,-prices VIII not pc low
| er on the seaboard this season. Any reuuction
made in the coal region will be fully counterbal-
anced by advance in trade. Should they mold
back, and prices hold lower, another suspension
| in whole or in part would be forced upon the
producer, as at present prices,no money IS made
by them"
The Philadelphia ledger inclines to the opin-
ion that the increased supply of coal must, II
continued, soon exceed the market demand, and
says that Already the market is little shakyas to
prices. This may be true, but the advice OF the
Journal to consumers to lay in their winter
stock of COAL now, is probably good and safe
| TOLLS ON THE COMPETING ROADS.
For the supply of coal to this city, the new
Wilmington and Reading route naturally comes
into competition with the old route by Philade-
phia, and thence over the p, W. and b. We
hear that the rates of tolls by the old line are
such that shippers are not likely to reap much
advantage, at present, by ordering their cars to
come by the Wilmington and Reading, and when
the coal is designed for delivery to places down
the State, the combined rates over the r., W.
and b. and Delaware lines are decidedly prefer
able to those formed by tho addition OF the w.
and r. to the Delaware. 1t is almost unneces-
sary to say that if the new road should fail to
secure the full coal trade of Wilmington and the
Peninsula, it would disappoint those who have
viewed its construction with the greatest interest
But the old lines are iustiiiable in holding on tc
all the trade they can.

Delaware CoIIegc-Its Claims aud Advnn-



Your correspondent made visit, few days
ago, to Delaware College, and was much graft
fed to find a very satisfactory condition of the
institution.
The College building has been thoroughly
repaired--new floors clean, renewed walls, and
new roof 1t occupies the most elevated site in
Newark, and is surrounded by pleasant, well
shaded campus.
The President Of the College is William. H.
purnell, Esq, of Maryland, graduate Of the
Collegein its best days, when some of the bestmen
of our State were its students. He is gentle
man Of fine culture and admirable administrative
abilities.
The Professor of Mathematics is VIM. D.
Mackey, A. NJ, another Of the best graduates
of the institution, and a thorough teacher, of
fifteen years experience; gentleman, and
excellent disciplinarian. He also takes, at
present, the Chair of Languages.
Mr.. Charles p. Williams, A. NJ, is the Profess
sor of Chemistry, Geology, and Natural History.
Mr. w. brings the best reputation of high
acqurements in analytical chemistry, both in
! ten years in the mineral regions of our
country and in Philadelphia.
Prof. L. D. Porter A. NJ, takes the branch OF

ID The above facts, together with others whc

Alderney COWS, belonging to Gen. Van Worst, who

denly last week. The cause Of thier death is not
known, but is thought by some to have originated
in change of pasture, from field where close
cropping and the drought had almost destroyed
the grass, to one where the clover was quite
green and thick. The General has some 60 or 20
head of these cattle, which attract considerable
attention from strangers visiting Milford. Several

should be cautious in his acceptance and pup-

pondents. Thus, in the dispatch sent on Tues
day evening, referring to the city election there
were at least two positive errors-first, that the
Democrats had elected their "whole ticket,
whereas they chose but two out Of three;
second, that this was the first election in the
city under the 18th Amendment, whereas
large number of colored citizens voted at the
