The Rittersville Trotting Park Association
have arranged for series OF races on Thursday.
Friday and saturday, June 18th, 18th and 10th.
Two regular races will come of each day, be-

sides it is expected that impromptu races will
take place during the intervals between the le
gular entries. Some noted nags have already
been entered, number being IN training now

good horses come together at one time. apd the
trotting will therefore be exciting throughout
no doubt Such who have taste for the turf

The Coal Trade.

The outlook for an early resumption OF work
in the str king coal regions is considered more
favorable, but when and on what terms the re-
sumption will take place Is not definitely stated
II is, however, more and more apparent that
there will be no slch scarcity OF coal as to al
mt of exorOitant and oppressive prices OF fuel
In the first place. the demand is light by reason
of the depression OF all trade, aud especially in
that of iron and steam mariue, both large con-
sumers of coal when the trade and DusiDess Of
the country are active. There is now no COM
plant thot we hear Of, in this city OF elsewhere
OF q scarcity OF coal, nor is there anv material
advance in prices, but both demand and price
are sufficiently marked to stimulate the regions
at WORK to put into the market all the coal pos
sbe. Iu addition to this the carrying COM
panies connected with the reoiOns not working
extend their sympathy to those that are, and
favor the largest supply possible, in order to
prevent famine prices and complaint from want
of coal The production weekly increases on
that OF the prec eeding week, though still IN the
aggregate largely short of what 1t was this time
last year. The total anthracite production re-
ported for the week ending the 18TH instant was
3ls, ,s3l tons, and for the year to the same date
424s, ,525 tons against 6ll6,744 to the same time
last year showing decrease Of l,SGs,2i6 tons.
The bitumlnous production reported for the
week was 65 SOS tons and for the year 9s2sil
tons. against Q54,sl6 tons to corresponding date
last year, an increase of S7.996 tons The total
production d Of both kinds of coal for the week
was 3s4 729 tons. and for the year 5,24l3S9 tons,
against 7O7l $40 tons to corresponding time last
year. showing . decrease IN both kinds OF $780,
