Ledger thus reports the condition OF the coal
trade: The anthracite coal trade ruled active
hst week to Thursday, nearly all the heavy
receipts Of coal ffomth eSchuy kill region being
taken quickly up on orders from the eastward.
Scarcely any Of the coal coming to this city the
past week went into consumption here. The
scarcity Of vessels, however, at Port Richmond
toward the close Of the week tended 10 check
the market little, and Pricee, strong at the
opening Of the week. were hardly sustained at
the clcse. Operat0rs are anxious sellers under
IN apprehension that the coal Wfll probably
rule lower on the incoming Of September. From
the desire to ebtp on orders as fast as possible,
freights are nov quoted fully fifty cents per ton
higher. Prices now hardly average three dol
hrs per ton At the shipping points in the Schuyl-
Hill region, and with the great activity ct the
mines and on the pa,t Of the carrying companies,
tbe supply OF coal In the markell must still
further increase on the demand. All the collie-
mes in the Schuylkill region are nov reported
at work, and probably throughout the entire
anthracite region Of this State there never was
before more general working Of the mines,
and, as the facilities for throwing the coal into
the markets are greater than ever before, there
II no reason to doubt Q full supply Of coal.
Notwithstanding the long suspension oflsbor at
large portion OF the coal mines, the supply OF
coal on resumption Of full mining, week ago,
was 1s2 ,4ss tons In excess Of the production OF
last year to same time.
