THE PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE

THE PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE.
The total Of anthracite marketedtfor the week
ending on the 18th instant amounted TO 490,932
tons, and for the coal year a. 257 TONS against
le,l41,oO tons to corresponding time last year,
being decrease Of Is, T43 tons. The bituminous
tonnage for the week is 1854 tons, and for the
year ,2e7 tons, against 262l $50 tons to same
time last year, giving total Of all kinds for the
week Of 567 eS TONS and for the year Of T,55S524

The coal production the past week was something
larger than II was the preceding week, and some
SO 900 tons larger than In corresponding week last

trade It is not likely that the anthracite produc-
ton, which is now over million and quarter OF
tons behind what It was TO the same time last
year will in the six or seven remaining weeks OF
the season reach last years tonnage. 1t has been
decided by the associated coal carrying and coal
producing companies to advance the prices Of coal

RESULTS OF THEIR MEETING LAST
NIGHT
The journeymen tailors Of the city met last
night at German hall for the purpose Of hearing
reports of the action Of the bosses on the new
price-list Of making clothes. The JOurneymen
Tailors' Union Of Washington is a branch of the
International Union Of the United States and
Canada, and Mr.. Kettler, the president, remarked
on taking the chair that this local branch had
tie support of the Union though it claimed they
were doing work lower than any other branch.
He said they had only few months Of regular
work and in that they had to make up for lost
time. They had made an increase of about 10
per cent. over their former bill Of prices and he
hoped there would be harmony between the
WOrkmen and the bosses.
The reports from the shops were then made as
follows: Bartram Co. signed the bill Of prices
without hesitation; thought it a reasonable one
in every way. William 5. Teel was CwiIling to
pay according to the bill, but was not willing to
S goa B RFssaa Is though he signed FOG Geo
NJ. Schafer refused TO sign. He would continue
to pay the old prices, and could not agree to the
new ones.
Mr.. McRae signed the bill, but his delegate
said that he thought Mr.. McRue had one reason
able objection; that is, the price OF making CON-
ones. J. W. Wade signed the bill, with the pro-
ylso that all work out should be paid for at the
old prices. This the union agreed to- L. E. Val
entine signed the bill without objection. 1t was
reported that Saks was willing to sign IL.
1t was moved and carried that all hands at
work in shops whose bosses had not signed the
bill should act as a committee, and q special com
mittee, consisting Of Messrs. Henry, Fagfn and
Arnold, was appointed to look after the general
interests Of the union in this regard,

stion and will start for the Crescent City to

his visit South at this time IS to secure mealing
places for the Knights while travelling, and By
knowing the number that will attend the grand
conclsve he can secure ample food for all at the
respective stopping points, and at the same un1o
avoid the rush and hustle that generally eIsT

loaded with hungry passengers: BY preVlods
agreement, Mr. Jenkens was met last evening at
the respective communicates in this Jurisdiction

ceeding to Lynchburg, where they will change TO
drawing room and sleeping cars, the only change
in the trip, and arrive in New Orleans on Satur-
day night at ll:30 O'Clock, which will give the
visitors opportunity to witness how lively Sun

Mr.. jenkins informed the committees that the
Grand Communicates Of the States Of Massaehu-
sets, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland
would pass through this city on their southwark
Journey as would also the Templars from the
East. Those from Pittsburg and that section Of
the country, including Stubenville, Ohio. at hrst
decided to 20 the way Of Louisville, KY, but
last week altered that decision, and will come
this way, accompanied by the Great Western
band.
This gentleman has been authorized not only
to secure hotel Accommodations for the different
Communicates at New Orleans, but also head
quarters for each OF the State Grand Command
cries OF the East and Washington COmmandery
of this city.
The occasion is regarded as an important event
in Templar Masonry, and it is anticipated that
the attendance will be large, but not so great as
that at Baltimore some three years ago, as that
was 4 more central point and Of easy access from
almost any section of the country.

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
The management have determined to have the
drawing Of the fifth and last gift concert Of the
Public Library Of Kentucky on the SOth day Of
November next. We believe now that all the
tickets will be sold, and that the drawing will be
a full one, but whether all are sold or not the
drawing will nevertheless certainly come of on
the day appointed.
The special object of this card is to call a meet
ing Of the ticket-holders at Public Library hall,
on the 10th Of November, to make arrangements
in connection with the committee appointed by
the trustees to superintend the counting of the
tags representing the numbers Of tickets sold.
While there is no actual necessity for the pres
ence Of ket-holders, as under our arrangements
the interests of all are equally cared for, yet at
the same time / would greatly prefer that as
many OF those interested as can would attend
this meeting and see each for himself how per-
fectly fair and impartial the distribution must
be.
Every arrangement has been made for the draw
ing-but little more than q month remains for the
sale Of the remainder OF the tickets, and what
ever is done must be done promptly.
