sUB-TREAsURY RECEIPTS.
The following were the receipts at the Office
the sub-treasury on Tuesday:
THE PLANTERS BANK CASE.

In the case OF Max Grebner vs, B. r. Flanders
ct ais. In which the reeeivership of the Plant
ers' Consolidated Association is involved Judge
Billings yesterday passed upon the petitions to
vaclte the orders already granted to appoint q
receiver and to sell certain property.
In his decision the Judge, after reviewing the
facts as brought out in the evidence. said that
the association and the State was to be c0nsid-
cred debtor TO the holder of bonds, and that
the plaintiff tGrebner). who mad risked the
danger of loss by the removal of the effects OF
the association. was deservedly entitled to the
receiyership; The court thereupon refused to
grant the order removing the receiver.
Regarding that portion Of the ca7e relative to
the sale Of property, the court ruled that the
subject had been referred to an able master in
chancery. Mr.. ]. W. Gurley, who had reported.
His report was most equitable one, and should
b. supported.
The court said that could 1t have seen It's way.
under the law, to place the liquidation In the
hands Of the State it would have done SO but
the Law. was against such action. and clearly in
favor Of the creditors, who had invoked the ap-
potntment Of receivers. and obtained an order
for the sale Of the property.

NEW YORK NOTES.
the Coal Com ObabilIty Of Its
Dissolution.

NEW YORK. Dec 26-There is much talk to-
day In coal circles over the probable results of
the meeting to be held at ! o'clock to- morrow
at the Coal and Iron Exchange. The board Of
control of the great com UanieS and the directors
will probably then decide whether the comhin-
ations shall be continued. In best informed
circles 1t is said to-day that in all probability
the combination will cease to exist on January
l. the time originally set in the agreement.
Messrs. Dickson and Gowen. committee OF
the board of control, are understood to hold the
same position which they took in their letter to
]. Ii. sweerer. chairman of the committee Of the
Lehigh Valley operators, and that Is that no me-
gotiations can be carried on till Mr.. Sweerer's
committee obtains the requisite power to repre-
sent authoritativey the Lehigh valley coal in
terests. including the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany.
The entire Lehigh Valley coal interests rep
resent really from thirty to forty individual
operators besides the great companies. 1t is
committee represented perhaps most of the in
dvidual operators. it didn't represent the LIE.
high Valley Coal Company, which is the control
ling power. Ex-Gov. Asa Packer. with his mi
lions OF capital. is president of the Lehigh VAL
ley Railroad Company, which controls the Le-
high Coal Company.
The effect Of the probable breaking down Of
the combination. which limits mining by the
companies. and which has been In existence
about year has been virtually discounted by
the companies and in Wall street. so that it is
and immediate effect on the price OF coal II
the combination fails of course every company
can then mine to its maximum, and whatever
effect might be produced on prices would be to-
ward lower figure. Prices now are higher
than at the corresponding time last year.
