The anthracite coal trade is in Stdtu quo,
the wisest operators in it being unable to
solve the present anomalous situation Of the
market. 1t is believed that all the several
parties engaged in the production and mar
keting Of coal would like 10 come to some
terms that would limit the production and
hold prices at rcmunerative points, and it is
the impression Of the more intelligent of
those connected with the Philadelphia coal
companies that fthe New York auction sales
were entirely discontinued negotiations
promising feasible conclusions 70 this end
might be at once entered upon. But the
matter of revival Of the combination of
1873 is not likely. The nearest probable
approach to it is the adoption Of pooling
process, something like that rejected last year
Immediately before adopting the combina.
ton which followed, and that ruled more or
less satisfactorily for the remainder of the
year, but which now finds no favor at the
hands Of any one Of the parties. Whether
the pooling of all the coal produced and be-
ing marketed by common salesman would
work more satisfactorily is quite uncertain.
While the New York auction sales are con-
tinued no trial ofany plan for governing the
trade is contemplated
~-The shipments OF anthracite coal over
the l., V. railroad for the week ending Goth
ult., were ss ,9O4 tons, and for the season to
that date l ,l27,7S7 tons, an increase of 1l2,-
700 tons as compared with same time last
year.
