TWIN SPRING BED.

This is without doubt the CHEAPEST,
BEST and most DURABLE SPRING ever
offered to the public, and is as tar su-
perior to any Bed in the market as o
smooth Nicholson pavement is superior
to the corduroy roads Of our fathers.
Some of the advantages Of this Spring
over all Others are: 1t is clean, noise
less and strong. Each Spring is made
of the best BEssEMER SPRING STEEL,
and having an individual strength OF
SIXTY POUNDS. The body rests as
smoothly and evenly upon this Spring
as swan floats upon the water, and allght
and heavy person sleeping in the same
bed does not cause it to sag, as with sia1
or Woven Wire Beds. This is the only
Spring in the market that can be adJus-
ted to any bed and moved from one peu
to another with the same ease that you
can move ordinary Stats. 1t makes Il
smooth even surface for the mattress to
rest upon, with no ends to chafe ana
wear the mattress. This bed we guar

Unstable: to be hard or soft at the VIII

body in all its parts and positions, and
not to give way any strain, each spring

Yesterday evening, when the City Com-

which recommends the laying of sewers
through the levee, to be used during
low water. \ draining machine is to do
the work during high stage of water.
The Council intend to raise the money
to establish these permanent improve

be done. With good drainage the last
receptacle of malaria will be removed, at
the same time that the value of property
will be increased in that part of the city

The Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade seems 10 be
pretty well settled down, snys Mondays
Ledger, as regards all exciting points. The
coal production is fairly large, and all par
ties connected with the production of coal
are working harmouiously, with paying
profits in the price of coal. The miners are
making good wages, the coal operators are
realizing fair prices for coal, and under such
quick demand that gives great promise to
the future Of the trade. The supply of coal
is equal to the demand, and the prices rea-
lized are con lessedly remunerative. The or
ders for coal are jam up to the supply. The
check to production fer the greater part of
the last two or three weeks, by lack ol the
necessary supply of fresh water al the mines,
has SO lessened the supply of coal that the
stock on hand, it is feared, will not fully
equal the demand before the opening OF
the trade next spring. The proper inquiry
now at this late period Of the year is, "who
has coal TO sell, and how soon can the par
ties having il, deliver it," All the lndiea-
tions at this time are that thero will Dot be
any excess in the supply Of coal tins year.
Hence the wiser poliuv for all consumers is
to lay in supply Of cnal at once. Then any
OF the many contingencies that make q
limited supply of coal in severe winter
weather SO very inconvenient DO con
hdently met. II sometimes happens that
coal sells rs low late in the year as il does
earlier. But when such is the case the de-
mand has followed production SO close as to
keep the market all the time bare. Just
such a market we have now, and have had
nearly all the current year. lron manulae-
ture and nearly all descriptions Of manu-
iacture which are great muth on coal have
promising outlook, great deal Of busi-
ness of nearly all kinds is expected next
year, thus making the future OF the coal
trade to all who are engaged in it active aud
more than usually profitable. Preparations
have been made in the coal regions to pro-
duee full crop Of coal in 1882, and, start
ing of rs the year now so fully promises it
will, it is not likely that ooal prices will be
increased, but they will bs maintained
nearly steady--no undue production Ind no
low Prices. No trade is ever SO satisfactory
as when all the industries connected with it
are fairly remunerated. There is no dispo-
sltion, so far as we can hear, to put up the
price Of coal, Operators are doing we'll. and
will show wisdom in letting we'll enough
alone.
The total tonnage Of anthracite coal from
all the regions for the week ending Noy, S,
as reported by the several carrying eompan-
les, amounted To 57s,7OO tons, against 5l4 :
s74 tons in the corresponding weeS last year
an increase of6I ,726 tons. The total amount
of anthracite mined for the year is 2s,754,.
eS7 tons, sgainst 10 $50, $40 tons for the same
period last year, an increase OF 4,O6s, 80
tons.
