interests OF the country. much dcpress 81. Ia
deed, 50 far a. producti goes, no improvement
is anticipated until after the expiration OF the
present month. The combination Of great pro-
ducing and carrying companies in July last de-
clded, IN the then condition Of the coal market,
that a shortening OF the production that month,
nifty per cent, and for the month OF August 4
shortening of production and shipment of like
percentage, would furnish supply of coal
equal 70 The demand. This decision was 20 apply
20 each Of all the companies in the com oina atom
except such a. might be short in their allotted
proportion, which would of course have the
right 10 make up such deficit IL they 20 desired.
The fifty per cent. reduction in July was made
all around, and on THURSDAY OF this week, in
order 10 make the reduction and shipment for
August equally complete, the carrying trade
will generally cease IN all the anthracite re iOns
Tor the remainder of the month. In all this time
there is an abundance of coal az all the several
shipping points, and at prices promulgated at
the beginning Of the year. These having been
engTsited into system for the government OF
the coal trade Will not be altered, but will rule
TO the end of the year a. announced in the first
months OF the year. In the matter of the reduc-
ton i'm production for the two months of July
and August, we understand the trade r. almost

binatiOn companies in the conclusion that an
over stock OF coal az this juncture wOuld result

already evidences Of a fair coal tra ie for next
