Pennsylyania Coal Trade.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: "Trade in the
anthracite coal regions has been pretty generally
resumed, and the tonnage has already swollen
into large proportions but will show larger in our
next report The production for the week ending
Sd instant was 47s 4S3 TONS and for the year $751;
4sl tons, against 9,153959 tons to corresponding
date last year, q decrease Of 2,3O5 o7S tons. The
bitumirous tonnage for the week was 81, 100 tons
and for the year 1,6O7,5O7 tons, making total Of
all kinds for the week Of 500 2O2 and for the year
of s,4549ss tons, against 1O,663,O33 tons to same
time last year. q decrease Of 2,2l2,O ,O45 tons. The
quantity Of coke and coal transported over the
Pennsylvania railroad for the week was 1l2 sg7
tons, and for the year Isis e5s tons, OF which
IT, eco was coal and 800 sos coke. This embraces
all the coal carried both East and West.
The oIders for coal come In freely for all sizes
except those of lump and steamer. The demand
for these sizes is slack because Of the great pros
tratiOn Of business in the manufacturing districts
rine. Unless there shall be some revival In the
pursuits named the coal production Will be ma
terially shortened from what it would otherwise
be, But the mines cannot produce all coal Of
small sizes without telling directly on the weekly
production. The retail trade at this point Is TO
fair extent, though it will probably increase from
week to week as domestic consumers commence
putting in their next winters fuel.
The fact should be kept steadily In mind by coal
consumers that the price Of coal is lower now In
July than 1t will be in the coming month Of Au-
gust and will be lower for that month than 1t will
be in September. The longer orders for coal are
delayed the higher will be the price to the end OF
mand there for anthracite coal is steady and
prices are unchanged. Cumberland coal meets

ELEVENTH ST RECT EAST.
The Property Holders and the improvement

The Property Holders and the improvements.
WASHINGTON, July Il, 1875.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
Sir: The residents on Eleventh street south
east, between East Capitol street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, complain that their wishes in re-
gard to the Improvement Of the said street, as ex-
pressed in sundry petitions addressed to the hon.
orable Commissioners, have been entirely dis
regarded.
As East Capitol street and Pennsylvsnis ave-
nue. finely improved to their Intersections with
Eleventh street, 1t isI thought that Eleventh
should be SO improved as to form beautiful con-
tinuous drive connecting East Capitol street with
Pennsylvania avenue, to say nothing of the fact
that Eleventh street binds on Lincoln Park, and
that q new iron bridge has Just been completed at
the foot Of the street.
As the street Is being paved 1t will be avoided
by vehicles. A rough cobblestone pavement, six
teen feet in width is being laid in the centre ev
IDENTIFY for the purpose OF railroad, but the resi-
dents have no assurance that the road Will be
-exeerable cobble pavement Is 10 be narrow strip
Of patent pavement; the remainder Of the space
between the curbs being occupied by cobole
guttering which is as wide and deep as the invec-
tions that have been cast upon It.
II is to be hoped that the honorable Commis-
sloners Will at least so far defer TO the wishes Of
the residents as TO discard this guttering and utl
way, as from the action Of the Board OF Public
Works during their supervision Of this city the
cobblestone on Pennsylyanis avenue between the
car tracks was great deal Of trouble, the board
being unfavorable to It. Now, the honor able (Jom
missioners should take this matter into considera
tion, and as the petition asking that the whole
streetpe paved with the McAdam pavement was
signed by every property holder on the line Of the
improvement, they should follow that petition to
the letter. FAIR PLAY,

Public instruction in Egypt.

A Cairo correspondent. writes to the LevGnt
Herald on June 8: "The Rhedive's eldest son,
Mohammed Tefvik Pashs, is seconding, with
truly laubable zeal, his fathers efforts In the
cause Of public instruction. The Prince, like
most of the members of his family, is large
landed proprietor. His farms contain numerous
villages, and each Of these has now q school,
founded by Mohammed Tefvik. HIS Highness'
last undertaking in this line is q school for boys
which he has built In the neighborhood Of his
palace at Koubeh. In this, as in all the other
schools founded by the same generous patron, in
stIuction is free. And, lest 1t be thought that the
Egyptian peasantry are Indifferent TO the boon
thus placed within their reach, may state that
on the very day 1t was opened, the school was at
tended by thirty-six pupils, number which has
since been rapidly increasing. Every evening,
am told, when the business OF the day Is over,
Prince Mohammed devotes some time 70 inspect
ing the school and its pupils, thus stimulating
the energies Of the teachers and Of every person
connected with the institution. His Highness
evidently knows that an estsblshment Of this
kind should be Of the simplest character The
class-rooms, study.rooms, dormttories, dining
apartments sc, are all furnished on the most
modest scale, though they are models OF cleanli-
ness. Care Is taken that the sons Of the rough
peasantry, for whom the school Is specially In
tended, should find nothing in their new home
which could transport them too far beyond the
sphere to which they have been accustomed. All
the branches Of q solid primary instruction are
represented by competent teachers; and, besides
the gardens attached TO IT. the school possesses
eight feddans of land. which the founder destines
to the purpose Of teaching the pupils the elements
Of improved agriculture"
