THE Coal TRApE-Thcrc is n very fair
demand for Cumberland Coal; it has indeed
increased very much n compared with a
month ago. Thcr" is Il stead! demand for
Clcarfir'd coal, although ii is not equal To
tie ability To produce, hence trade is called
dull, although the shipments last week
were nearly 30 per cent. greater than for
the spending week of 1874. Prices
for all descriptions Of iituninous steam
Goals are low and Irregular.
The Engineering and Mining Jnynal,
from which the above is taken, gives some
Ii.arcs which question the accuracy Of that
part of the recent annual report Of the b. &
o. II. r. Co, which explains decrease of
3jS,739 tons of coal carriage for 1S14-5,
compared with 1Si3-4, as due to the de-
preston OF manufacturing Interests. These
figures show that the increase of bitumin-
Gus production is %, ,35S tons, coming
from tie East Broad Top, Snow Shoe,
C'carficld and Allegheny regions Of Fem
svlyania, while the decrease of production
in This and the Broad Top regions are a.
"a and ll.414 tons respectively. total, SIS,
G5j tons leaving a nett increase for the six
regions Of 40, iC3 tons So that, although
the manufacturing and shipping interests
of the East have Lc,n very much depressed,
and our foreign shipments have fallen off,
yet IhCc his Ec,n yuy considerable i'll
crease IN th" consumption "' Luminous
stcam coal
Ii is further shown that while the Penn
sylyania Railroad Y its more liberal policy
has gained an increase of steam Goals OF
32l ,2GS tons, the Is. 4 o. r. II. has lost
2:0Si3 tons.
Tie paper above named tlcn says:
Ii i very evident that the decrease in
/ the T. & O. Il. r. Company 5 coal tonnage
/ is due To want OF lihcrality rather than de
preston in trade, and we would suggest
that. in their war with the Pennsylvania
RnilgoHd they fought for the Shadow and

And then With regard TO the results OF
the high tariff policy, the same authority
! says good word for our coal;
/ Cumberland coal Las &n excellent rcpU
( tatioA for steam purposes, and unless spec
/ ial Inducements were offered on other Iii
luminous Goals, they would not take iIS
! place; bat, during the past year, Goals o
great merit from other fields have been
largely introduced, and they VIII, probably
with the practical encouragement Of the
/ Pennsylvania Railroad, hold much of tho
/ trade they have secured. To maintain the
supremacy Of Cumberland coal, til" Cum
hcrland and Pennsylvania Railroad shout,

o,btant rates of freight, 10th oil shipment:
TO canal and to tic Is. q O. r. T. BY al
increased tonnage, and little more atten
ton to economy in mining, there is ne
doubt that the profits of the ConSoliIatio,
