Tho eOal Trade.

From the Philadelphia Ledger, October :.
The public sale Of anthracite coal ut New
York last week has had the effect Of stif!en-
ing the prices of coal generally, and In
some instances advances have been estab-
lishcd even greater than those shown at the
auction sale. An analyzailOn OF that sale
shows nh average advance per ton from
August to September OH lump OF 101
cents on steamboat, 13A cents; on CRATE,
81 Y cents aud on chestnut, 10 cents. The
average prices were Lump, H.1S steam
boat, $3.50; crate, S5.1Ih: egg, 1923 !;
stove, Sc O3; and chestnut, ~ %.
The average prices of the same sizes of
coal nj corresponding time last year in the
s.,iur market were Lump, 81 steamboat,
49,: crate. 300; egg, a.S4h stove,
$685. chestnut, $40. This increase in
the price vt coal is, no doubt, In conse-
quencc OF the shortened supply rs com.
pared with last year. This, however,
should create no alarm. Much, ii not all,
Of the difference, short it is expected, will
hc made up before the close of navigation {;
und il it should not he by that time, it can
easily hc supplied by rail all through the
winter us the market may require. 1t is
not generally believed that the con.llmD-
ton of 1871 will be any in excess Of 1870,
perhaps not equal to it.
The usual annual average increase of ten
per cent. in coal productions, il is very
certain, will not be forthcoming this year,
nor is there any probability that there
would he u market for it if 1t could he pro-
Gurcd. Prices, therefore, should not nd
vance from this cause. There is reason TO
anticipate good, strong market for coal to
the euu of the year ut current prices, which
slightly advanced to-day say twenty-five
cents per ton over last weeks quotations !;
hut there is no reason to anticipate any
very material further advance unless there
is some difficulty At the mines, or some ll1i-
warranted combination to force the market
TO unnatural figures. These contingencies,
OF course. are assumed by all who postpone
the purchase Of coal.
The stock Of coal ut Port Richmond is
very low, and instead Of the receipts Of
three thousand cars per day, there Is an
average daily arrival Of but about two
thirds OF that number. Boats on the canal
| are also far short of the demand, i'll conSe-
uuencc. as We are informed, of the hoatmen
having had the privilege Of extending their
| trims in order to secure back lrcights, thus
| extending the round trip four, five, and six
| DAYS. nv which the cars from the mines are
| detained al the shipping points awai!ing
