A NEW Coal RoUTE.-We are reli-
ably informed that the Consolidation
Coal Company will shortly undertake
the regular delivery Of coal at Canton,
Baltimore via the c. & @. Canal to-
Wllliamsport and Western Maryland
Railroad from that point to Baltimore.
The Western Maryland road was con-
structed between Baltimore and Viii
Transport for this purpose, and if the
expectations of the originators of the
road are about in Il measure to be re
allied, 1t Will be one instance where
a feeble enterprise has triumphed over
almost insuperable obstacles. 1t is al
legged that coal can be delivered in
Baltimore at about forty cents per ton
cheaper by the proposed route than
by any other route.-T'"cS.
PENNSYLVANIA Coal TRADE.-The
anthracite coal trade is fairly active
and the demand for all the several
sizes of prepared coal good. For
lump steamer and broken coat de
mand Is not likely to equal the sup
ply until the various classes of iron
works are more generally in operation.
1t il gwen out that several of these
works in the SchuylkiIl region will
resume early in the coming month Of
August The prices of coal Is as We
have already stated, will advance
monthly on the previous month 8 pri-
ces to the end of the season.
