the past week is sad TO have been nearly stagnant
All the companies are said by leading operators to
be accommodating large stocks, for which there APP

pursued by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany i'm reducing prices on the very heels Of the last
nubiic sale when the highest prices Of the year
we're obtained, has called forth much hostile crti-
cisfn from the advocates Of advanced prices. By
these reasons, II Is understood the company mas
been led 10 offer its coal az public auction.
Ar officer Of the company said Yesterday that
there was little demand for coal even at the August
rates, and that the company wished 10 know what
prices the market would bear. IL was useless to
continue plng mp the coal, rs most Of The compa-
MES were doing merely for the sake Of maintaining
fictitious values. Ii there was a market price Tor

prouosed to find ont by the sale on Wednesday.
Referring to the proposed public sale, an officer OF
a leading coal company said yesterday, with
smile " Better prices appear to he realized from
public auction than private sale; the Delaware and
Hudson managers are shrcwd enough 10 perceive
the drift of the market. There is certainly Moth
ing unnatural in their taking ADVANTAGE
Of the current" An officer of another com
many declared that the sale was intended
merely as Justification of the course Of the Della
ware and Hudson Company IN lowering prices.
That action he said, y" has been condemned by
many, aud the company socks now TO prove the
wisdom of its course. Mr.. GOwen, of the Reading
Company. has Withdrawn probably the subsidy paid
by him for the cooperation of the Canal Company
I'M supporting the attempted advance. In fact very
little coal has been sold at the prices Mr. Gowen has
been SO an xlOus TO establish, and his company now
has on hand a large quantity OF coal bought from
other companies" .
1t was said Yesterday that great efforts had been
made by Wall-st. spectators to prevent the APP
preaching sale.

ADJOURNED.

The Ohio Legislature has adjourned
after session Of about six months.
They have increased the taxes hum
dreds of thousands of dollars and have
passed less than half dozen bills in
the interests of the people. The pres
snt Legislature and Governor Bishops
administration have been a failure.
The people of Ohio gave the State
over in the hands of the Democracy
with the promise that they would leg
islate in their interests. Every meas
ure for the benefit Of the masses, with
but one or two exceptions have been
defeated. The School book monopo'
ly was left undisturbed, and the whis.
ky ring controlled the Legislature at
their wish. Its to be hoped that
the State of Ohio will never again
be disgraced with as corrupt and un-
scrupulous body Of men as have had
control of the State for the past two
years.
