There is decidedly better feeling in all
business walks, says the Ledger Of the goth.
Iron is in better demand, and prices Of that
solid commodity are improving. This is a
good thing as base for boom, and one
seems to be now promised. Anthracite coal
is also looking up, and all the indications
point to a general revival of business. Be-
sides the favorable turn taken by coal and
iron, the transportation business of the
country is largely increasing and all rail-
way traffic is steadily on the make, and but
one thing is now required to make the coal
trade prosperous ard largely productive,
and that is, a firm adherence to circular
prices. So far this promises we'll. There Is
little, if any, cutting under. 1t is true the
restriction of production by half weekly
curtailment of work at the mines has not
resulted in as much reduction as was ex-
pected, but the policy of reduction is as de-
cidedy In favor as ever, and it is now con-
templated to improve upon the semi-week-
ly stoppagesj and for the month Of August
to stop full alternate weeks. While there
has been little or no difficulty in holding up
circular prices, which are generally salts
iastory to producers, it has not been so easy
to restrain production by all the companies
as fully ns the spirit of the understanding
between all the several parties seemed to
imply at the beginning. The three days of
suspension have been by some Of the par
ties SO used as to materially swell the pro-
duction Of the three succeeding working
days, so that production has been lessened,
instead of one half, as would naturally be
expected from half work, little more than
onc-third. Negotiations to effect full half
time weekly suspension have been under
consideration in the trade for the past week
or ten days, and a satisfactory conclusion, il
is hoped, may be reached within a few
days. The following table, prepared by
Mr.. John II. Jones, accountant of the prin-
cpal cool carrying companies, shows the
proportion of the coal trade obtained by
each company during the first six months
of this year and last wear. This is IMPORT
ant as showing how the different companies
have suffered by the semi-weekly restric-
tions of the year. From this is appears that
the Reading has sustained almost one hall
OF the total diminution of production, while
the Pennsylvania Coal Company has sul-
tered even in greater proportion. The lat
ter company, however,is one of the few that
refuses TO work save at profit, and it has
occupied its time in making ready for the
future rather than pushing coal upon fall.
ing market. The loss of the other compa-
MES is trhing, and it will be observed that
both the Delawares and the Pennsylvania
Railroad have shipped a larger proportion
OF the total proportion this year than they
did last year. The table gives the percent,
ages Of the total production shipped by each
company,and the proportion OF the loss that
each has sustained:

The Iron Trade.

The IRON market is in a more satisfactory
condition than we have been able to report
II for many months. 1t is firm aud steady,
without excitement, aud, although the vol
umc Of business has not been large since
our last report, prices have sulened rather
than weakened. A large consumptiNe de-
mund has revealed the fact that choice
brands are in limited supply, even at an in
crease Of from three TO four dollars per ton
over prices asked during the early summer
months. Two months ago free offerings Of
best brands OF No. Y We're reported at S22
to S25. Now there Is pressing and unsup-
piled demand for the same brands Of offer
ings as high as S26 and S27 per ton. Sales
OF this description during the past week
have not amounted TO as much as 1000 tons.
The price paid was about an average of $50
per ton. Larger transactions We're prevent
ed by the want OF proper supply and the
iirmness Of makers and holders olthese par.
tcutar brands. Inquiry is more active in
all the months. As one result, we are graft
fed to observe that fires have been relighted
in a large proportion of the furnaces that
had shut down throughout Pennsylvania

Than thou, Mahoning, clad in gayest hues,
And hemmed around with natures mountain

Such as became tho pride Of ancient Gaul.
Thy rock.rlbbed barrier, looming toward the
sky,
Unlock the clouds when earth is parched and
dry;
And thou, like Tempesvale or Eden bowers,
Dost TEEN with vines, and fruits, and rndlent
flowers.
And thou pure stream, with murmurings soft
and low,
Art rolling on with tireloss, ceaseless flow,-
Through fowery mcads and groves Of royal
pine
To blend thy pearly drops with ocean brine.
love thy mountains and long once more
To climb the sleeps I've climbed so oft before
And there to stand and watch the parting day
Sink down the West mid banks Of golden
spray,
The wren and llnnet then must cease their
song
They to the drama of the day belong:-
Nocturnal birds will soon unfold their wings,
And sing their love until the welkin rings.
Then long dark shadows creep across ths dell,
And twilight throws around her magic spell /;
The night birds carol in their widest JOY,
And earth seems wrapt in dreams without
alloy.
Oh valley rare and beauty underlined
For thee there is no name in poets mind
Thy hills, and woods, and streams, and wales,
and flowers.
Are beauties that surpass the artists powers.
Thy fields and streams, and hills, and wales
between,-
Thy mountain guardians, clad in evergreen,-
Have stamped those scenes on memory's fade
less chart,
And left their impress lasting on my heart.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
recently rendered several decisions of gener-
al interest in the matter of road taxes. The
right of farmers to work out their road tax
has been generally, but not universally con-
ceded, supervisors in some townships insist
ing that the tax must be paid in money. A
test case has been decided in favor of the
tax payers, and their right to work out the
tax distinctly and finally afirmed.-I In other
cases collector of road tax haye claimed a
commission on the part worked out as well
as on that paid into the county treasury.
The Supreme Court decides that all claims
for such commissions should be rejected the
working out of the tax imposing no labor
on the collector or treasurer, but onlyon the
supervisor, who is fully paid for his ser
vices.
