The Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade, says last Mon
days Philadelphia Ledger maintains all the
iirmness of the past half year, and is render
ed more active by reason of the arrival of a
fleet of vessels this week, which partially
relieved the inflated condition of the tide
water freight schedule, so that coal is leav =.
ing the wharves faster than it is coming in,
and. unless the drouth is So ended for
good by a series of copious showers in the
mining regions, there will be general
cleaning up. There was nothing Of special
interest in the condition of the coal trade
the past week. The demand for coal is good
firmly maintained The production of an
thracite coal still goes on at the same actiye
pace as for some months past, each succeed
ing week showing material gain over the
corresponding week of last year. arge as
the increase during the year thus far is, il
would have been considerably larger had
the supply of water at the mines been up Ia
the usual average supply. The orders now
in hand are in excess of the product, with
little probability OF the shipments overtak-
ing the demand. On the contrary, the ususl
increase in the demand for coal at this sea =
son of the year is likely to widen the pres
cnt difference between the present supply
and demand. The want of water and the
short supply of transportation facilities dc
not afford the desired assurance that they
will any more than meet the current de
mand hence to the opening next spring
The colleries are producing briskly. the
quantity of coal sent to market last week
nearly doubling the quantity shipped the
corresponding week OF last year. The limit
ed profits realized by the sharp competition
in business on the trunk lines may have
the effect OF lessening the number of cara in
use. Il is belieyed that most Of the trunk
lines that are working at loss will make
more by doing less. The great want of carr
IN transporting coal to the West, il is be.
lieved,will be supplied from the trunk linei
to coal uses. Hence it is probable the West
ern demand for coal next year will he fully
met, to the further profit of the coal trade
What is lost on non-paying Western freight
TO the Eastward will be more than made ~
on West-bOund coal Tonnage, thus saving
loss to the great trunk lines and greatly ad.
vantaging the coal trade, which now pres
ents a moro favorable outlook than at any
time for the past several years. Already
thiS year. with the WesterH demand for Goa
hardly half supplied, the output so far il

The total tonnage Of anthracite coal froI
all the regions for the week ending Oct.
as reported by the several carrying compan
les, amounted to GIL ,27s tons, against $40,

MR. EDIToR. - Lately 1 was passing
through the Towamensings and while COM
ing in contact with the people, made some
inquiries as to the prospects Of the candi-
dates on the Democratic ticket. / found
that the sentiment Of the Detnocratit voters
was, to vote the straight ticket, with the ex-
ception Of three mem who for personal rea-
sons and fasbrs shown to them by partic-
ular candidate ON the Republican ticket, are
going TO vote for him. On the other hand
found as many more Republicans who
will vote for Democratic favorites, which
will more than offset the comiilimehtary
votes on the Democratic side. 1t is a notable
fact and much credit is due to the Demo-
cratic leaders Of these districts; that the sen:
timent is so strong in favor Of the entire
ticket. Some inHamed Reiiubli6ans were
trying TO create soine ienlodsies and preju.
dices against J. j. Gallagher because he is
an lrishman and belongs TO the Odd Fell
lows, how badly the low and infamous
dodge, invented by the tncoonito OF the Ga
zetfe, viii teeoilj will be seen on the day OF
election. II is true, tlidt no mah on the
Democratic ticket; is stronger to- day, among
the sturdy Dutch than ]. J. Gallagher, the
gallaut Democratic Irish leader from Banks |
The cause of this solidhcation Oh the part of
our voters in this behalf arises from the fact
that the Republicans have opened their in.
famous batteries on him, more fiercely than
on any other man on the ticket, because he
would stand to the rack and do his duty
manfully for the people and the party. So
look for rousing vots from these districts,
for every man that is put forth as a standard
bearer in this contest, and in the front rank
of these place J. ]. Gallagher.
