ADVANCES IN COAL.

While all classes Of the community are striving
to relieve the wants of the poor the coal companies
and dealers are piling on the prices The Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company, one Of the biggest
wealthiest and, we may say, the most relentless
and souless corporations in the country, have
given notice, by circulars, to retail dealers that
hereafter all coal shipped by them will be weighed
as net tons OF 1000 pounds each, instead OF, as
heretofore gross tons Of 224O pounds EACH with
no allowance for waste. The same circular also
notified the dealers OF slight reduction in price;
but, on account OF the decrease in weight the cost
to them is practically advanced twenty-five cents
per ton for stove and egg coal and thirty-two
cents for chestnut
The coal ring Of Pennsylvania have issued their
manifesto, In which it is directed that coal shall
advance during the year 1874 as follows:-

The Constitutionality Of the Law Ques-
toned.

Yesterday eighteen liquor dealers and lager beer
saloon keepers were arraigned for trial before the
Board of Police and Excise Commissioners to an.
swer the charge of having violated the Excise law,
thereby making themselves liable to forfeiture Of
license. They were charged with keeping open
stores on Sunday, and with having sold liquors be-
tween the hours OF one and FIVE O'Clock In the
morning About $50 witnesses were present. and
several lawyers appeared to defend the cases,
at tie trial room, Police Headquarters,
corner OF Court and Livingston streets.
There were present on the bench Commits
sioners Jourdan, Briggs and Jensen. Mr.. Eschwege,
counsel Tor one OF the accused, argued that selling
beer on sunday did not constitute q violation OF
the statute also that the Legislature had not con.
ierred upon the Board the powers Of court OF
justice. The constitutonality of the Excise law
was questionable, for the reason that the charge
made against his client deprived him OF his right
OF trlai by jury. Four cases were dismissed ana
the others were adjourned until Friday next.

THE STOCK MARKET

to-day gave no token OF reSinency, anu the board
was about as dull and undressing place as
could be found in the neighborhood Of Wall street.
Business was limited, outside orders have re-
ceved check and the opinions Of men with ref
erence to present and future were diverse and
antagonistic The truth is successful and iegiti-
mate speculation always follows a condition Of
activity among the productive Industries. If
capital is alive and working elsewhere 1t will
make It's way to Wan street. II the country is ull
OF enterprse-mills, wheels and machinery are
everywhere running, workingmen all employed,
trade in full blast and railroads and ships relghted
with values resulting from labor, then the
stock market participates in the general
success. because its securities then rest on
profitable foundation. IT, on the other hand, there
is no development OF strength, no growth, no earn
ings by railroads, no full employment OF the re-
sources OF the country, no fresh wealth being
added to that which already exists. real specula-
ton contracts and becomes subservient TO the will
OF the few. Even in the midst OF stagnatlon, artl-
fetal activity may be developed by few capitalists
who with their money may make market, but In
such a case it is always temporary, always decep-
tive and rarely profitable except to those who are
"behind the scenes"
THE FLUCTUATIONS
in the market to-day were confined within narrow
limits, except in one or two instances. New York

intimated that the Atlantic and Great Western

A WALKING MIRACLE.

MIX. n. II. STEVENS:
Dear ST. Though stranger want to inform you
what VEGETfNE has done for me.
Last Christmas Scrofula made its appearance in
my system-large running ulcers appearing on me as
follows: One on each of my arms, one on my thigh.
which extended to the seat, one on my head, which
eat into the skull bone, one on my left Leg which
became so bad that two physicians came to amputate
the limb, though upon consultation concluded not to
do 80, my whole body was so full of Scrofua they
deemed it advisable to cut the sore which pain
full beyond description, and there was quart of mat
ter run from this one The physicians all gave
me up to die, and said they could do no more for me-
Both OF my legs were drawn up 10 my seat, and it
was thought If did get up againtI would be Grip
pie for life
When in this condition saw VEGETINE advertised
and commenced taking it in March, and followed on
with it, until had used 16 bottles, and this morning
am goingto plough corn, well man. All my towns.
men say it is miracle to me round walking and
working. :
In conclusion will add when was enduring such
great suffering. from that dreadful disease, Scrofus,
prayed to the Lord above to take me out of this
world. but VEGETINE has restored to the bless
ngs of health, desire than to live, that
may be of some service to my fellow man, and 1
know of know of no better way to aid suffering hui
manity, than to enclose you this statement Of my
case, with an earnest hope that you will publish it,
and it will afford me pleasure to reply to any
munication which may receive therefrom.

fVEGETINE Will releave pain, cleanse, purify and
cure such diseases restoring the patient to perfect
health after trying different physicians, many reme-
dies suffering for years. is it not conclusive proof
you are sufferer, You can be cured? Why is this
medicine performing such great cures? 1t orks in

of disease originates in the blood; and no medicine
that does not act directly upon it, to purify
vate ha- any just claim upon public attention When
change of weather climate want of exercise rreg-
ular Diet OF from any other cause, the VEGETINE
will renew the blood, carry of the putrid humors,
tone of vigor to the whole body. The conviction is
in the public mind as well in the medical profas,
Kinadom are more safe more successful in the cure
of disease, than mineral medicines VEGETINE is
composed of roots. barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant
to take, and perfectly safe to give infant. In
Scrofula the VEaETiNE has performed wonderful
cures where many other remdies have failed, as will
be seen by the following unsolicited testimonial
