TLe tumble in the price of coal, on Tuesday of last week, exceeded the most sanguine expectations of long suffering public. Prices were reduced over g, a ton, ,on the average.-a falling off of about half from combination rates. It is said, no doubt with truth, that this brings it below the cost of production; but one of the great difficulties has been that the cost of production is much toe high. Miners wages are excessive; rates of transporta- tion and commissions are equally exorbi- tant; and the whole combination system is out of tune with the times. The reduc. tion of last week, if permanent, will give life to numerous mostimportant industries hitherto made improbable by the high price of coal. sa
