! desire to call your attention to The
following question and answer concerninp
coal, taken from recent issue Of the
Cincinnati Commercial:
QaeStion-PreSumiug that you have
the data in your river statistics, you will
oblige US very much BY giving the esti.
mated run Of Youghiogheny coal in any
one year; also, the number OF towboats
employed in said business. H.
Answer-The run in 1875, with lsO
!owboats, was .i7,976,0OO bushels. The
run for this year will aggregate about
100000 more than last year.-EDl Com
Taking the above as correct data, I de
sire to ask whether il 10 not a reasonable
Imposition, in the face Of not only this
Immense drain 10 supply the markets Of
the OHIO and Mississippi rivers, but Of a
still greater drain for home consumption

large consumption, and then look forward

ture, and ask our manufacturers, with
their knowledge OF the distance they
are now under the hills, III the day for
cheap blocks oil steam power is not
rapidly passing away from many
places not now thought Of by the
public? II any one will estimate
the amount given in the Commercial, and
the amount Otherwise consumed, by com.
putting eight acres Of land TO the million
bushels consumed, and by further allow.
ing Tor the lack Of good frontage for coal
lands, they will zee that coal must speedi.
ly be brought from such long distances
under ground as to add largely to It's cost.
Coal privileges are now where they are
to be had) worth 81 600 per acre "a high
up the MOnOngahela ~ the existence Of
the coal rated as best at Cincinnati can
be found. Ihave been told by those en-.
gagged in the business that higher up the
river the coal will not sell at full prices,
