The Great Coal Sale.

New York, Aug. 29.-rhe great auction
coal sale took place to day, at uoon, at Hap
over square, which was completely blocked
with coal spectators. Buyers from all part:
of the country were present. Intense excite
mept rtigned in the ncighborhocd, and wagons
trucks and wnduw were f led with spectators
while the acIua! buyers We're cougrcgatcd IN d
dense mass around the auctionecrs sand.
The auctloucer read the conditions OF hs sale,
and announced that il was perfectly bona tide
and tina; no reservation Was to be put on the
goods offered for sale. He said there we're
four companies represented in the sale, but
they we're not combined in any way, and no eli
fort would be put forth by them to keep The
market up. Buyers could bid and rest assured
that their own judgment was all they had tc
Contend with. The four companies selling Goa
were the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
paDv: DeIaw ire, L9ckawanua and Western
Railroad Company; Philadelphia aud Reading
Railroad Comp and the Pennsylvania Goa
Company
PoTrsv1LLE, Pa, Aug 29.-The prices re
allied by The auction sale OF coal 10 NV ork
were anxlously looked for by all engaged iu the
coal trade. Much surprise and alarm was
shown as the prices were bul!ctlued, the gen
eral cxpectation being that the sale would be
adjourned il $50 per ton. as the lowest hguTe,
could not be cbtaued The coal operators say
the prices brought will compel them all
to suspend operations unless tolls and
labor can be reduced to much lower
figure than at present, with the chances
against them even Of great reductions, as the
miners will hardly submit to lower prices than
now prevailing, aud the situation has gloomy
outlook for the tall ADD winter trade.
New York, Aug. 29.-Thc Delaware and
Lackawaua first offered 10000 tons OF coal.
5000 tons of steamer coal was put up, and
900 tons Of it sold for S. per ton. The price
fell to 81 IS, and then to $2.75. at which the
balance was bought. 10000 lons OF CRATE WIS
then put up and Gfst price offered was $500,
at which over 5000 tons were sold The re-
mainder was sold for So 20 to spectators,
who nouph at the rate 81 5000 tons bls.
% 900 tons of egg, brought So 25 and IS. ~.
There was decided manifestation on the par'
of The buyers to wall until some one madca
purchase aud then beat he rrlc" down. Fur
chas~rs we're evidently uncertaln how lar the
market nigh: break and many held back ex
recting tina! tie, ,u:d get good bargains. In
many instances they were succ'sSiul as prices
iumbled duriog sale aud then recovcrt d
to beyond the starting pnint IS The supply be-
came exhausted. 10000 tons Of stove started
