A party of prominent New England bust
ness men visited the line of the coal prop
critics of the great Reading railroad of
PENNSYLVANIA, last week. This corporation
has now one hundred and nineteen millions
dollars invested in its railroads and boats
and coal mines. Probably, in the next five
wears, the Pennsylvania coal interest will
| do more than all other interests to open
new railroads into and through New Eng
land. The consumption of coal in our
great manufacturing centers of interior
| New England has become such an object
to the coal operators and forwarders that
they can assist largely in developing new
lines of communication for the securing
of new markets.
