Arrangement Of Wages-No strike Conten,-
plated nt Present.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10, 1871.
The Miners Journal says:-The Joint Committee
In Schuylk appointed to nx the rate OF wages for
the month, met yesterday In Polisvile. Returns
were received from ell the firms drawn except the
Philadelphia Coal company. Tie committee found
the average price to be 81 81 271oo per ton for De-
cember. which was . decline OF about thiriy-onc
cents per ton from the November rate.
The talked OF strike turns out to be, as was ex-
pected, rumor only, as II could be readily seen
that nothing could be gained ana everything lost by
such course at this OF the year. That there
have been and VIII be SUSPENSIONS of operations In
different colIerfes. especially III ScDuyiKil, where
such suspension ~ now pretty general, Is not
denied. But THIS is different thing, and caused
oy the usual dul4ess OF trade, consequent upon the
close OF Navigation.
The Lang Company, controlled BY the Reading
q Railroad Company. have purchased additional coal
lands, 10 the amount OF 81, 900 900, doubtless with
the INTENTION OF leasing, but controlling them. This
makes the carrying company more than ever
ter OF the situation, and the miners Will 90 well 10
work in harmony with them and OF night them as
heretofore, particularly AZ the Reading Company
show liberal sprlt towards the miners.

The cotton market was quiet and heavy.
THE COTTON MOVEMENT.
The receipts Of cotton at all the ports for the past
week were l29 9lS bales. against 105 $50 bales the
previous week. The total receipts since September
l. 1871, are 1llS557 bales against 1372557 for The
corresponding period Of the previous year, showing
decrease in the present crop or $4,000 Dales. The
exports from all the ports for the week were 473

THE BANK STATEMENT
The weekly statement OF the associated banks
proves very favorable and tine effort to place them
selves in . stronger position Is reflected In de-
crease OF nearly eleven millions In the item OF
loans Part OF this total made up by the absence
from the Clearing House sheet Of the broken banks,
whose loans were between three and four millions
Allowing for TINS reduction, and for the
IN OF loans by the Broadway Bank, It is fair
TO presume that the contraction accommod alton on
speculative stocks has been pretty nearly nve mil
lions. The gain In specie is once more surprisingly
small, and revlves the question Of the whereabouts
OF the $2l, ,316. 900 of gold dsbursed by the Sub
Treasury IN redemption Of 1872 bonds since December
!. The statement compares with its predecessor as

An analysis Of the above shows that the banks
have decreased their liabilities S. 6O4 900 and gained
900 In legal reserve Adding one fourth OF the
former to the latter gives 900 the gain In
the surplus reserve which now stands at $8,552 125
