COAL FIFTY CENTS Ton HIGHER The

Philadelphia ard Reading coal company ad-
vanced It's rates for coal a few days ago If

Ing TO coal still to be got out OF the mines.
Advices received by him from Fall Il yer
and other eastern depOts indicated that the
yards were well filled, and even If the miners
should not resume work before winter, the
demand was not likely TO be very great. The
company, ne stated, had q large amount Of
coal OH hand and ii was the price OF this
which he had thought proper to increase.
The prospect was That IL the miners resumed
WORK next Week, the price of Coal would fall
10 the former rate before cold weather set In.
tt e CfficialS OF the Delaware and Hudson
coal company stated that there had been an
Increase OF ten cents made In the price OF
their coal. This is an increase on The last

cents ON their last published schedule. Taey
cons ider this increase as a natural conse-

tnOugh they do not apprehend any further
necessity for raising the price, they hardly

miners become more settled. The Lehigh
Valley coal company has decided upon an
Increase or fifty cents d ton on the coal which
il has Oh hand but the officers say IL depends
entirely on the M ners about the general
