PROSPECTS OF TIE COAL TRADE-Tne
announcement made in this column last
wee K, that the associated coal carrying COM
panies were united as to the full and steady
supply OF coal for the remainder of the sea
sob, has had the good effect of uuickeuing
the trade for almost all sizes of coal. For
week from this date the production and
q transportation of coal will meaSurably cease
In order TO check the oversupply and keep
prices steady, making them as nearly C1pal
10 all large consumers as possible, thus en-
CT uragipg the iron manufacturers and pro-
tecting that great industry from loss by rea-
son OF sudden and unwise overlooking OF the
coal market, to be followed by higher prices
OF that necessary commodity, with atten-
dant general ruin to many of the manufac-
turing Industries. The crises in the coal
trade for this year IL is thought has passed
and henceforth TO the end of the season the
coal operators and the coal carriers antici-
pate a good healthy traffic. While undue
plliDg OF coal will be discouraged by all of
TIE six companies in the association the
prices 10 consumers will not be permit
ted to advance beyond fairly remuneratiy We
