THE COAL TRADE.
For the year past there have been r11rnors or
ombinations and OF ruptures In the coal trade.
and 1t has been reported among coal men
that the Philadelphia and Reading Coal Com
pany had been outreached, and that it was
financially embarrassed. The time Of the
company has been discounted thirty, sixty
and ninety days ahead In Its production Of
coal. For this reason it has become i1nper,-
tive that the miners should be kept at work.
Until the first of June coal had been mined
upon the basis established by the price In the
market. Mr.. Gowen, however, advanced the
price 25 cents @ ton in order that he might
thus give an excuse to the other companies
for advancing the pay OF miners, which was
done. In order, then, to induce the Delaware
offered to take the surplus Of that COMPANY
at the advanced price. This ARRANGEMENT
was consummated, and the result lis watched
ny LHS gIhI5 Will IItEGSG. lU Is believed
among the trade that the output this year
will be 23,000,000 tons, which will be de-
manded. 1t is deemed proper, however, to
stop running for from two to three weeks, as
the supply 1s outrunning the present demand
OF the company. The disposition In the coal
region is to work the mines steadily without
excessive production and heavy discounting.
The stOppage OF work. even for q short time
under these circumstances, would have ten
dency to embarTass the company in the fulfill
