The PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE.-We
are glad To hear of an improved tone i'm the
anthracite coal trade. The demand for sizes
for domestic uses is fairly active, the orders
for coal at Port Richmond being in excess of
tie supply of shipping to fill them. That is,
more coal would be shipped thence If vessels
were at hand. The total tonnage for the
week, as reported by the Miners Journal. is
1865 tons, being an increase of 1859 on the
tonnage of the previous week. Toe authra-
cite TO- mage for the year To the 9th instant is
l5.H4,4l5 tons, against 10, 1879, 12S tons TO cor
responding date last year, n decrease of
2e6,3l3 tons. The bituminous tonnage for the
week was eO,S26 tons, and for the year.
3,CZ5 SEQ tons. making a total of all kinds for
the week 6I1 ,4S9 tons, aud for the year
Is 22S 800 tons, against Is 333 5i7 to CORES
pOnGlrg date last year. a decrease of los 2l0
tons. All the steamers OF the Reading Coal
ard Iron Company are in active employ
ment, and the orders for coal are quite full
