1000 900 tons more. The production at the
end Of October stood at 21.715.210 tons.
For the months Of November and De-
ccmber last year it amounted to about
3,5OO,O0O tons. Should the shipments con-
tinue as large as in October the total will reach
27 100000 tons. The production Of anthracite coal

Stock Exchange prices generally. on balance. were
in favor of holders. though most kinds became fiat
on Friday. chiefly in consequence Of the excep-
tiona circumstance Of threatened crash in
United States railroad Investments. the New York
Stock Exchange being disorganized by decision Of
the banks there not to mark checks beyond the
amount of their customers balances. This has
suited great pressure Of stock upon the market.
which has latterly been held with borrowed money.
and on Friday Central of New Jersey shares fell So
in this market and Erie fell Sc. 1t is understood
that selling orders have been received from America
Nevertheless 1t seems doubtful whether there will
be any prolonged collapse in American securities

eminently sound. and If this relapse merely means
o wholesome check to speculation. it will be adj
vantage to the country. South American stocks
wero generally higher. and many European govern
