INCREASE IN THE kANAWHA
COAL TRADE.

The Charleston Courier, in recent
issue, publishes IN article showing the
increase in the coal trade OF the ksnawha
Valley and the growing demand for
the coal in the eastern mari ets, and from
this paper we obtain the following intor-
nation: 10 1875 there were shipped
from the Ksnswhs coal fields 23l, III
tons of coal by rail and lGl 1892 by river
In 1876, 264 1856 tons went by rail and
200, 1862 by river. In 1877, 3l0,352 tons
were sent away by rail and
2O7,346 by river. This is flat
tering exhibit, and the increase is a
healthy one. All branches of trade
have declined in the past three years
and among others the coal business has
suffered severely. 1t Is therefore some.
thing to be thankful for, this increase in
the sales of coal and the prospects for
the future are exceedingly bright. Dur
ing the three years OF which we have
spoken, there have been numerous and
in some cases prolonged strikes in this
coal district, and this, Of course, would
reduce the production for the year con-
sidersbly. 1t is estimated that the loss
in production for the year 1877 alone
amounted to 100000 tons in the quantity
shipped by rail, and tho loss of that
which would have gone By river was
ABOUT the same.
During 1877, ll9,02S tons of kanawha
coal were shipped from the James river
wharfs at Richmond. Throughout last
year anthracite coal WAS exceptionally
low priced in the northern and eastern
markets, and was delivered IN New York
hsrbor for $3.50 in quantity and OF good
steamer quality. Gas Goals were also low
owing to the competition Between the
Pennsylvania, Westmorelsnd, iOugh-
TO- hany and Monongahela districts and
to complicate the competition 10000
tons of Nova Scotio and English Goals
were received in ballast at New York and
Boston. The increase Of II per cent. in
the shipments of Ksnswhs coal 10 New
York and Boston is certainly very graft.

wHEELINGS INTELLECTUAL CUL'
TURE.

Few cities in the United States con-
tanning thirty thousand people can lay
Just claim to the high intellectual deVei'
opment which marks the well-to-do
classes of our citizens. Those who do
not know ua, think that Wheeling is
dirty, smoky, manufacturing town, stuck
in an out of the way portion
of the country, with little or no
knowledge of what is transp'ring
in the great world outside. An impress
sion prevails that the sooty air, iosaea
with cinders, has deposited such layer
of coal dust on the brains Of the inhab'
itants of this city that they are clogged
and heavy. According TO Bsltimorean,
the first thing the host or hostess in q
Westinghouse asks the guests, as a
matter of routine politeness, lie: wont
you come up stairs and wash your face
and hands2' We accept the joke
good. naturedly, but We do not
intend to allow our city TO be sisndered
No enc will attempt to deny that we
have a smoky, dusty city, bat SIS We do
not set Wheeling up for fashionable
resort or as a miniature American Paris,
we Will easily pass the muster. We have
cosy little city, full OF quiet, hand
somely furnished houses. Although the
town is a wealthy one, and many OF lie
residents spend their summers at the great
places OF resort for the rich, or 60
to Europe, still when they are at home
thew arc not fond of 1isplsy or anything
that savors OF paste diamonds and al
fectstion. Throughout the winter there
are plenty of smusements OF various
kinds to do away with anything ap-
preaching monotony; but the main source
of our enjoyment is found in the read
ing of choice books. Wheeling folks are
great readers of the newest and best books
and the majority of the readers are also
thinkers.
Let new work appear from the pen
of q we'll known writer of fiction, OF phi
losophy, of science, or upon any leading
topic OF the age, and dozens upon
dozens of copies will be ordered almost
before they are dry from the printers
hands. Pick up dozen gentlemen al
| random on the street, and ten OF them
will be able to talk intelligently and well
upon the current ideas of the country
and will be able to tell You why they
think as they do, and upon what they
base their opinions. Taking our people
and our city all in all, we think we have
a great deal to be proud of.
