Pennsylvania Coal Trade

THE PRICES OF COAL IN 1919.
The whole supply cent from all the regions 50
t8r this year is u 3550A tons, against p l6l4I9
tons last year, decrease Of S06,3T5 tons. The
decrease in anthracite is i,25S. The trade Is
LEGAL and the demand confined to current wants.
The meeting OF Lehigh coal operators, called
tor Thursday last in this city, has been post
poned TO the 30;h inst. We learn that au effort
ls being made 70 secure the Joint action of the
operators in the several anthracite regions 10
reduce the wages OF miners after the first OF
January and put the price CT coal down 80 cent?
oh the tou at all shipping points. The miners,
ANTICIPATING such movement, have already
decided TO resist any reduction, and a strike Is
Eot improbable II the present purposes sh all be
adhered 10. 1t is, however, to be hoped other
wise, as the consequences cannot fail to be in
furious 10 all parties IN interest. There are
more c0llieries suspended now than usual, and
II followed by general strike in mid winter, the
loss and suffering would necessarily be great.
With forbearance and prudent counsels this
may he avoided. What is known as the 0Coai
Combination which includes the five great
ccsl producing and carrying companies have
as yet come TO no conclusion. 50 far as is pub
Icly known, as to the next years business.
Reports are current that some o, the parties to
the com binatIon are in favor oi lower prices for
the coming coal year, for the reason, a. is con-
tended, that the too high prices for 1874 have
had tendency to drive some consumers to the
use OF bituminoGs coal. Other reasons urged in
1aVCr OF Change OF rates, and, indeed, OF the
whole programme, is said to come from the
Pennsylvania coal company, a party that has
not heretofore joined heartily in the "combina-
aioAs dlc-AHet, lDAL contracts are
wise, ard should be discontinued; second, that
contractors be furnished coal at the published
net prices, leaving dealers TO secure their own
prctt by liking tneir own prices above the card
price; and, third, that the highest price OF the
year shoUld gradually recede, so thai the lowest
price, or cheap coal, may be during the winter
thus avoiding an abrupt fall from the highest
prices in November AID December to the low
est prices of January and the first months OF
FpriDg. AS these suggestions do not aDpear nm
rt asena6!e or widely variant from the policy OF
tie trade for the current year, there does not
seem to be any insuperable difficulty 20 some
harmonious conclusion, ard such Tesultwe shall
continue TO hope f0r.-PhiIG. LsdqeT.

Drunk IN THE PULP:T.-A special dispatch

There was stunning sensation to-day ia one
OF cur Episcopal churches (St. JOhus) On tn

nately the gentleman had partaken rather free

worse sui, when he got there he dived into tn
jug or communion vine, drinking long and
often of the rich juice of the Crane. He man
aged to get through the formal services de-
Gently, but by the time he commenced on his
Christmas sermon the mixture of egg -nogg and
wine had so worked upon him that he was badly
OIL, and wandered sadly. He rambled around
jumping from one topic to another in such a
way that all could see that the msn was drunk
AT last, when the thing became unbeara BILE, the
wardens gave the signal, and the congregation
got up quietly and left with dignity. leaving

TAXATION OF CHURCH PROrKRTY-The
Seneca County Courier takes ground in favor
OF the taxation OF church property, as follows
Several leading newspapers of the state are
engaged in discussing the policy of taxing
church property, and the general drift of the
argument is in favor of taxation. There are of
course, two sides to the question but il seems TO
us that, on the whole, the interest of all would
be best subserved by taxing church prOpertg
the same as that of other corporations or OF in
dIvidusls. There WAS nsuRht but the best of
motive in the original plan TO relieve church
property from taxation, but the abuse OF the
prlvilege-when, as now, church corporations
hold real estate To the amount or millions OF
dollars-has rendered some change necessary
Ii the discussion shall result in nothing further
than limiting the amount of such exemDtion il
WilihaVe been a move in the right direction"
