The following interesting summary and re-
view of the coal trade in Boston for the past five
years is taken from the Boston Commercial

truthfulness. 1t will be observed that coal re-
tailed cheaper in Boston during the past year
than at any time previous for the last five
years.

FPTE AGAIN IN COURT

The receiyership case In the suit OF Fisk
agt. Heath and Raphael came before Judge
Datchford on Saturday. The result was the
usu9l Cne it, Erie litigatiOns-a pOstponemelit.
The acion il for the custody of G0,OO) shares
OF sock. the property of EnglshInen, which
he Fisk party seized year or two ago, under
cover Of a Barnard injunction, aud have since
r,sd to valuable purpose in the annual clec-
lions. In the course of tao yexaHous-not to
say f~audulent-procecding by which the Erie
Ring has cndcayOred to retain these shares, 1t
has happened that there arc now three re-
ceivcrs claiming custody Of the same property.
James Ii. Coleman WAS first appointed by
Judge Barnard on the petition of Fisk. Judge
B'atchford recently, on petition of Heath and
Raphael, dissolved Judge Barnard's order, and
ordered Coleman to surrender the shares to
Kenneth G.. White, the Clerk of the U. S.
Circuit Court. The Erie party seem
to have had no hope of prevent
ing this action on tho part of the
Federal court, and instead of opposing it
openly they resorted to the subterfuge which
has caused tie present extraordinary legal
tangle. While tho case was still before Judge
Blatchford, and before the decision was an-
nounced, they applied TO Judge Barnard to va
cate the appointment of his own receiver and
appoint q new one. His Honor complied, and
Just two days before the United States
Circuit Court ordered Coleman to give
UP the property to White, the State
Supreme Court ordered him to surren-
der the shares TO Mr.. Charles Robinson.
Coleman and Robinson now apply to Judge
Blatchford for instructions, and at the same
time Nr. Jay Gould files petition in which
he claims the ownership of the disputed stock,
and prays that instead Of being surrendered
to Heath and Raphael it may be retained by
the present custodians until the Court can de-
termine to whom it belongs. Argument is to
be heard on this petition next Saturday, and
in the mean time it is understood that the
question of the receiyership will be settled
Judge Blatchford intimates that he has no in
slructions to give Mr. Coleman except those
contained in his previous order, and the State
Court processes a becoming willingness 10 de-
fer to the Federal tribunal

The Secretary Of the Treasury reports the
subscriptions TO the new five per cent. ten
year loan as amounting to over S27,OO0,0OO /;
Saturdays subscriptions aggregating S332O,0O0.
This is very well but the special inducements
5eld out to the Banks expired with that day,
and we presume they have been the principal
subscribers thus far. Europe, so far as we
have heard, has not subscribed at all.
We can tell whether Mr.. Boutwell, is to
mcceed or fail whCl we see his pro-
g1anme for April. If it indicates his
onrpose to convert every dollar OF his
yold into bonds, and keep converting
i whenever be has a dollar to spare, we shall
consider his first S2OO,OOOOOO of Fives as good
ss sold. But, if he won't give gold for the ne"
bonds. when lie has it lying idle, how can h'
expect others to do so7 The gold in his vaults
has kept up the premium on that metal iol
he last two years, and is this day the cI'ei
obstacle TO Resumption. If it shall be invested
IN bonds during April, we believe the premium
Oh coin will fail below five per cent 10y May
And then the chief obstacle to the sale OF hi.
bonds will have disappeared.
