The Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade has not at all
changed from what it was at this time last
week. 1t Is dull, but prices are not lower.
Orders have not quickensd as much as was
hoped for, though within the last day or two
Of the past week some movement in domes-
tic sizes was apparent. So far as We can
learn nothing is done under circular prices.
Indeed, producers and consumers SEEM sat
isfed with prices for all sizes as they are.
Coal operators now only ask to have their
orders for coal at once. tits not more price
that is desired now, but more demand for
coal. II it was probable that the present
persistent purpose of cbnsuThers, in holding
out of the market, would have the effect of
breathing prices to lower figures, there would
seem to be an object in view worth contend
ing ior but, as it is not probablej this hold
ing aloof and driving an undue amount Of
tonnage into the last few months 81 the
year seems suicidal. Should tho annual
consumption of coal this year approach in
amount that of last yedr, it seems scarcely
possible to supply it without unduly taxing
the present transportation facilities, which
would be very sure to advance the price Of
coal. II is probable that there was more
coal carried over from 1879 ia 1850 than has
been generally conceded, or else with the
numerous semi-weekly stoLpages during
the past spring there would not be the pres
ent lull in orders. There is coal enough tc
meet the current demand. yet no such
scarcity as TO warrant full work by all the
larger companies. Just at present It Is O
little uncertain how the failure Of the Read
ing Companies is likely TO affect the coa
trade. That great work is now in the hands
of the court and its representative receivers
who know TOO little Of the exact situation
of affairs to say what the policy or future
course Of working the diversified works may
be-. Besides, considering what is polite anC
what is legal in the administration Of tn,
companies affairs, there is the element o
labor, always a delicate one TO handle, /,
consider and to conciliate. There is NJ
trouble of this sort apparent, that We ar,
aware of, but strikes at the mines and by tn,
train men are not so unusual that they may
not be considered imminent at almost al
times through the coal year. These ar,
facts and points in the trade that should no
be lost sight of by coal consumers in any
psft of the country. Whatever of chanci
and Of vieisstude that may happen TO tn,
trade hence to the end of the year is agains
those compelled TO have fuel At the bes
coal is not likely 10 be afforded at lowe
prices than those of the present, and cir
eunstanees may force the market to muel
higher fgures.-Ledger, I4h.

Ing but death can save youth from reaching
the age when he is "too young to be called
Mister and too old to be called Bub." And
when that time comes, he does not know what
to do with himself The boys who play mar
bles on the street do not want him in their

smoke cigars and suck the heads Of their
canes AID go home with the girls from even
ing meetings, ignore his existence. There is
nothing for him to do but whlttle, plague the
dog, get cdlled a "great grump," and be told
every five minutes to take his feet and legs
out Of the wayl AS for the young ladies, they
laugh at him OF every occasion. They ridi-
cule him when he shows them any attention,
no matter how we'll meant It may be, and they
are continually sneering out about "gosllngs," :"
speaking of green as color, and asking him
why he does not woat reektle, so as to have
things correspond. The wrongs nc has to bear
are so many. His father does not tfiist him
to drive the colt, because he is only boy; snd
the colt is just what the boys want to drive
Mother is "afraid to trust him" to buy his own
clothes, for fear the clothler will cheat him,
and she goes with him and helps select his
coat and trousers and If there is anything
that will mortify the average boy, 1t is to have
his mother go with him and see about his new
suit. When sister Jane has beau, he is for
bdden to go into the parlor. He is so green,
that isthe reason given. When uncle Jack
gives his yearly presents to the family, he is
sorely puzzled to know what to give to Bub |
