COAL MINING.
Intelligence OF Interest from State and
NeighbOFhOOd Mines.

NeighbOFhOOd Mines.
HAWKS NEST, W. Va, April 2O.-The
Anstead mines OF the Hawks Nest Coal
Company have been running little slow
the past week, on account OF the scarcity
OF cars on the Chesapeake 4 Ohio road.
The building OF one hundred coke ovens
by this company will make work steady
in the future. The ovens will be built
this spring.
STEuBENvILLE, O., April 2O.-The coal
have all the business they can do. There
is greater demand for coal at the various
shafts than have ever seen before at this
time OF the year. There may be two reas.
ons for this. One is the long winter aud
parties who expected their coal to last un.
Ill fine weather have entirely run out,
The other is that little coal is being hauled
from Goal Hill In consequence OF the bad
roads, which makes coal rather scarce Just
now.
Coal VALLEY, W. Va, April 2O.-The
year 1850 vas q prosperous one In this
vicinity. The six gas coal mines have
shipped 10000 tons Of coal, and the Can.
Melton Coal Company mined about 80, 900
tons camel coal, all Of which allowed the
miners 10 have reasonably fair work, and
as there was no strikes everything went
on in peace and harmony. This year
bids fair to much exceed the products OF
last, as there are new mines opened and
the old ones are increasing their shipments.
The prospects for the future are very en-.

ON the subject OF the Duty ON Cotton
Ties and the Tariff In General.
WAsuISGToS, April 90 Secretary
Window to-day heard delegation otiron
and steel manufacturers relative to the
rate OF duty imposed on cotton ties. The
delegation were; b. ]. Morrell, Johns

John L. Kennedy, Pittsburgh;T. H, Weld,
youngstown, o., and W. K, McCurdy,
Cleveland. d. l.. Rsnlett, ot New Or
leans, importer OF cotton ties, took an ac'
tive part in the discussion.
Mr. Parke, OF Pennsylvania, desired TO
call the attention OF the Secretary 70 the
steel manufacture, but Judge French In
formed him that the cotton tie question
was the only one which could be heard
to-day. Secretary Window, however,
promised to hear the arguments on the
general questions relating to the mAnutac'
tuye OF iron and steel at the earliest practi.
cable date. He assured them that the
points made were clearly stated, and said
he would give the matter attention.

ask no favor that the law does not grant,
They insist that the evaslons nj the law

tururs and not in favor Of foreign manu-.
facturers. They claim that the intent Of
the tariff law Is not wholly to raise rev.
enue, but that the Treasury Department,
In It's construction Of the tariff law, should
first aim to be fair to American labor, as
the cornerstone Of our tariff sytem Is pro-

Business for the week was large, though
there are still evidences OF partial inter

severe weather In the northwest. L! ID
probable that some depression on this &C.
count will be felt throughout the season
since farmers and others in regions which
have been 80 long shut In by the snow
and ice will be pressed for time when the
late spring comes and will not make as
large purchases this season as usual. On
the other hand new farms by the thou
sand are being opened and new railroads
and mines and factories, and the productive
power Of country ls rapidly expanding,
while employment is thus given to many
thousands who were formerly unable 10
consume freely. The forces which tend
to the expansion Of business are constant
in operation, while the Interruptions, caus'
ed by the exceptionally uniavorablo
weather, are temporary, and would be
wholly forgotten by August, unless the
crops should be unexpectedly small. The
value OF business Is so large that even now
In comparison with the most inflated
period last year, the situation Is not by
any means discouraging.

KANSAS CROPS.


Reports from all the Counties In the

CHICAGO, ILL, April 2O.-Reports col

in Kansas regarding the crops, show that
on the whole the winter wheat crop 10 In
an excellent Conditlon-better than usual

the rain. The past few days have been.
exceedingly hot and windy, and in some
places the dirt has been blown so as to
Expose the roots Of the wheat TO the
sCorChing sun. But little damage is done
as yet. A good warm rain would be OF
incalculable benefit. Farmers say that
with favorable weather the crop will be
the largest ever harvested in Kansas. The
spring wheat crop appears To be In an
uniavorabe condition. In seventeen
counties It's condition 10 fair; In forty.
