The Coal Trade.
JUSTICE.

The several large anthracite coal compa
nies worked the past week full time, so that
the stock of coal on hand at tidewater ship
ping points ispretty full. The stock of coal on
band at tide-water shipping points, May 81,
1881, was 562,7l9 tons; on April 80, 1881,
j2S, ,l9s tons; increase, 3i,52l tons. There
is good demand for most of the sizes of
coal, and, lndeed,an increase in the demand
for the manufacturing sizes. The supply OF
orders for coal are pretty full, but the stocks
on hand are thought not to be greater than
is fully accounted by the scarcity Of trans
portation, and especially water transporta-
ton and this keeps up an apparent accumu-
lation at tide. At Port Richmond on Sat,
urday there were but seven vessels loadsd
and nine loading, none light, making a
total of but sixteen in all, when usually at
this season Of the year there should be some
| fifty vessels there awaiting coal. There is
some little difference as to the city and line
trade. Some think that prices are of, while
others hold to the opposite opinion. The
/ 4
demand is good, and the same may be said
Of the Western demand. At some places
prices ofcoal of some sizes are lower although
it is claimed tina, the great companies are
holding II? tb circular prices, 1t is estimate
in this particular that some of the arg,
companies to cover their tracks, furnish GER
tain coal dealers with coal to sell at a con
cosslou, while they hold firmly to circular
rates where there are chances of their con
cessions being made public. The Cumber
land coal trade is largely increasing, es
pecally through this State, Uia the Ameri
can and the Maryland Coal Company
works and by the Huntington and Broat
Top Mountain Railroad. These two Mary
land companies have agreed with a larg
coal firm in this city, Graef, Rothermel
Co., to furnish 6OO, 900 tons of Maryland sol
coal, designed for the Eastern market. Til
new traffic is believed TO be the beginning q
large trade, and to some extent account
} for the improved condition OF the Hunting
don and Broad Top Mountain Railroa
Company, within the last few months neal
- ly orquite doubling the prices its commo
, and preferred shares.
: The total tonnage of anthracite coal fror
all the regions for the week ending Jun
IL, as reported by the several carrying com
panies, amounted to 42S,954 tons agans
400 1855 tons in the corresponding week las
year, an increase Of 2s,l99 tons. The tote
amount of anthracite mined for the year

A Good Law.

Those who propose to engage in the sale of
murderous weapons would do well to become
acquainted with the following provisions OF
law recently passed by the Legislature and
approved by Governor Hoyt;
Any person who shall knowingly and
wiliully sell or cause 10 be sold, TO any per-
son under sixteen years of age, any cannon,
revolver pistol, or other such deadly weap-
ons, or who shall knowingly and wilfuly
sell, or cause to be Sold TO any such minor
any imitation or toy cannon, pistol or re-
volver, so made, constructed or arranged as
to be capable of being loaded with gun pow
der or other explosive substance, cartridges,
shot slugs, or balls,and being exploded, fired
of and discharged and thereby become a
dangerous or deadly weapon, or who shall
knowingly and wiliully sell or cause to be
sold, TO any such minor, any cartridge, gun
powder or other dangerous and explosive
substance, shall IN every case be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be sentenced to pay fine not exceed
ing three hundred dollars.
The salutory law does not aim at the sup
preston of the toy pistol only, but also pro-
hibits the sale to any persons under sixteen
Of all dangerous explosives. The authorities
should see that this law Is rigdly enforced.
