The coal trade continues in full tide Of
prospertyj so bar as we can learn orders
are plenty for the entire product, and the
prospect of an additional advance in Deem
Der is gratifying to those who have been so
long contemplating balance on the wrong
side Of their ledgers We think that about
fifty cents per ton in addition to present
prices is as high as coal should 60 for the
next few months, and II twenty-five cents
Of this was added in December and an addi-
tional twenty FIVE inJanuary the trade could
be kept moving regularly without any pros.
pect ofa reduction ofratcs in the spring; and
there can be no doubt that with such prices
very comfortable diyidends could be earned
10y most and perhaps by all the coal compa-
mics. The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company issued on Saturday last
circular to all its line and city agents, di-
rectng them TO take no more orders for the
present month, as we understand those on
hand are sufficient to absorb the entire sup
ply for November. The rates of freight on
caal to Philadelphia by rail have been adj
vanced by the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to $l.70 per ton, as against Sl.S0 now
being received by the Reading Railroad
Company, and the canal freights and tolls
by the Lehigh Navigation Company's canal
have been advanced to Sl.45, the saDla as is
now received by canal by the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad Company. The Lc.
high Valley Ralryad Company has also an
nounced an advance in tolls from Muuch
Chunk to Perth Amboy for shipment, which
are now Is cents though we should be glad
to see them still higher The general policy
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company in
the past has been TO make the tolls to Perth
Amboy forty per cent of the price Of coal at
the latter place. As Lehlgh coal is now
selling in New York at an average Of about
three dollars aud thirty cents, it will be seen
that, at the low rate of seventy five cents
per ton, the Lehigh operators are making
great deal of money and are having an adj
vance over those Of other regions. 1t is
probable that, without injury to their opera
tors, the Lchigh Valley could take advan-
tage Of the high prices Of coal to get a better
rate of tolls, for the impression is gaining
strength that the profits on mining are now
too large in comparison with the low rate of
dividend of four per cent realized by the
shareholders.-Lc Monday.
