The ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE for the
past week shows increased production, but,
so Tar as we can learn, there are few In
creased orders In the market for coal for i'm
at the contract circular rates for the season
are immensely large. Should they all be
nlled, the centennial year would prove the
largesL and probably the most profitable
ever known. Unfortunately, however, the
hlliDg of these annual contracts depends al
together upon the demand for coal. They are
binding only on one side. The operators, in
dlvioual and corporate, are under bligatiOn
10 furnish the coal, but the consumers who
contract with them are not bound to take
any spec1hed amount OF coal, and take only
so much as their business may require.
Quite number of collieries in each and ali
OF the coal regions have been put In opera
uon during the past week, and 1t is already
at once exceed the demand. tsougb whole
sale prices for all the month of April will be
continued as previously announced. In this
city both the Reading and the Lehigh coal
and Navigation company have reduced
prices TO the retail trade from the LIST instant.
On Lehigh broken, egg and stove sizes the
prices are % cents per ton less, and on
Wilkesbarre coal the reduction applies only
TO egg and stove sizes. The prices OF Schuyi-
Kill coal are reduced the same as are the
prices OF the Wilkesbarre coal of the same
sizes. All other sizes of coal than those
named are unchaDged.-[P hiIa. Ledger, Sd.
