RUMORED COAL COMBINATION.

On Wall street yesterday oil sorts Of rumors were
aAoat about the formation of a coal ombinaion.
II was reported that Mr. Samuel sloan president OF
the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western Railroad
Company. had been in consultation, within few
days, with ox-Judge Packer president of the Lchgh
Valley Railroad Company; that the latter had
sidcrably modified his views. and that he and Sloan
had come TO an understanding which would probably
be ratified by the other companies. The Lehigh
Valley people meet in Philadelphia on Monday, and
Il Is rumorcd that movement Is on foot looking to
q new combination. IL was stated that the incom-
ency of tho weather and the prosperity of the iron
trade had created large demand for coal and that
the prospects OF tho coal companies were becoming
much brighter.

depression created by Mr.. Martins failure, were IN
srumental not only in lowering the prices OF stocks
yesterday, but of depressing them further to-day. IL

Peter Cooper had been present to insert the mtigat

because carrier for other corporations it is likely
