PENNsYLvANIA COAL TRADE.-The coal
trade, like almost every other business opens
slowly. and is dun. The general cause assigned
for this Is the inaction of Congress on the Gues-
ton OF the currency. There Is probably much
more importance attached to Congressional
lnaction than is warranted from an enlarged
view OF the entire political and business stu
alton OF the whole country. Many causes con-
spire to depress trade and enterprise which only
time can cure. An essential part in the resump-
ton OF active business is confidence in the
future, and confidence is of slow growth. Those
interested in the trade are generally lowering
their estimates of the current years market for
coal, and yet coal is an essential to life AMI
cannot fall off so largely as to materially affect
II as one OF the leading interests OF the country
The total production Of anthracite in 1873 W as
twenty two and three quarter millions of tons,
OF which about three and quarter millions of
tons were consumed in the coal regions, leaving
nineteen and half millions for the market
The demand is estimated to increase annually
ten per cent, and taking a series of years
together 1t does not increase that much. What
1t falls short in one year is usually made up by
excess OF the estimate the next year following
