THE PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE-As
We can report no adjustment of the differ
enceS between the coal operators aud the
working people at the mines. we of course
nave no change to report in the coal trade,
which remains almost precisely the same as
reported n week ago. The lawlesS turbulence
in the SchuyllIill and Lehigh coal regions
reported daily in our news columns shows no
signs of abatement. There is no coal mining
IN either region Of any consequence, and the
supply is necessarily becoming very limited
what, however, was stocked over of last
years coal, and what is being produced in
part of the Wyoming and in the Shamokin
reg Ons, has thus far served TO prevent a coal
famine or famine prices of coal. As the de-
mand for current consumption continues
light, a close economy in the use OF anthra-
cite coal and an increased use of bituminous
coal have kept prices nearly steady. Special
kinds of coal and of particular sizes may
have been advanced in some few instances
bat the general market is unchanged in sup
Ply and demand, and also in prices. The as
seated carrying companies, although they
nave issued no scale OF prices for the month
of April, adhere, so far as we can learn 10
the programme as originally announced
