as further Intervention in that direction,
and to remove all apprehension of an over
production ofcoai we notice that the schuly-
kill Committee OF the Coal Exchange have,
in conformity with the recommendation Of
President Arthur, ordered that a general
suspension Of Business take place Monday.
The anthracite coal interests have agreed TO
this stoppage Of mining and shipping Of coal,
to enable the employees in and about the
mines to join in the public tribdte to the
memory Of the late President of the United
States. In accordance with this notice there
will be suspension and holiday through
out all the coal regions, over the several
lines Of transportation, aud at the principle
offices of the larger coal companies in the
chief cities. The orders for coal are only TO
moderate extent, especially for the sever
al sizes of egg, stove and chestnut The
shortening of orders from the Eastward is
most noticeable, and apprehension in SOME
Quarters is expressed lest this halting in or
ders now may have the effect of running
when there will be general detiiand for
coal, and also clamor to have it all deliv-
cred at the same moifient. While this will
punish the negligent, who neglect supply
ing themselves when il may be had; it will,
on the other hand, hei p coal operators, the
demand upon whom will be kept up to the
end Of the year. The fear is that; with a
squirt of cold weather hear the close of the
year, all who are short OF coal will want
coal at onte, ,ahd, as Natural consequence,
will have to pay correspondingly higher to
get it. The death of President Garfield has
thrown quite gloom over almost all kinds
Of business, and the Noal business especially;
and the scarcity of coal supply has increas-
ed the orders for coal, but, notwithstanding
this, the stock of coal does not vary much
from week TO week. For the larger sizes Of
coal such as is used for the regular supplies
for the line trade, for mills and furnacesj the
idea that prevailed few weeks ago, of an
accumulation of stock, has quite passed
away. The Western demand is still very
great and the supply of cars very small. 1t
is thought probable that there will be an
advance of ten cents in tolls next month
The present condition of the trade and its
general outlook continues to justify the be-
lief previously expressed, that toe coal year
will be run out without further suspension.
The total tonndge of anthracite coal from
all the regions for the week ending Sept. II,
as reported by the several carrying compan-
les, amounted to 647, 200 tons, against $780,
S94 tons in the corresponding week last year
an increase of 1906 tons. The total amount
Of anthracite mined for the year is 10 ,372,-
$50 tons against Ii, ,649, ,45l tons for the same
period last year, an increase of 3,723, ,429
tons.-Ledger, Monday.

TO the DsHocfHcy 6f carbon co.
We are on the eve Of an important cleo.
tion in both state and County, and there
are but six weeks left for work. With a
bitter independent Republican fight on the
Cameron stalwart Ring, candidate for State
Treasurer throughoht the COMMONWEALTH;
and the party hopelessly divided, the cleo
tod OF the Democratic candidate for Stats
Treasurer is d Fofgohe conclusion.
Our County ticket is one Of the best and
strongest, and embraces among its nominees
Representatives of capitalists merchants
miner, laborer and farmer, and contains
representative men of the Germanj Irish,
Pennsylvania Dutch and English Nation
allties some of whoh have already been
tried and proved faithful and true to the
old Jefferson test OF honesty and fitness.
With fill vote and straight ballot the
eouhty will give its old fashioned Demo-
cratic majority. Our noble Hancock was
ANONYMOUSLY defeated in Dehiocratic New
York through treachetS and the result ol
party feuds, party indifference and local
disaffectionj Our opponents throughoutthe
county though apparently inactive, are
working steadilyj day and night for the
success of at least portion of their ticket
This they openly admit they can only ac-
tomplish by Democrats scratching and bar
tering. 1t therefore behooyes us to be up
and on the alert, working, each and all Of
us honestly, fearlessly, persistently and eff
fectually for the whole ticket, and nothing
but the ticket until the ides of November.
If every Democrat does his Whole duty
success is certain. call upon every Dem'
ocrat who has the good Of the glorious De-
mocracy al heart and desires the principles
of Jefferson and jackson to be perpetuated
to arouse himself for the good work, and be
vigilant and active. and victory will, as it
the past, perch upon our banner.

The COaI Trade.

The anthracite coaEtrade for the past week
shows no material change from its condition
in previous weeks. There is the same scar
city of water at the mines that we had oe-
casion to notice last week. There has been
some rain, but as yet it has failed TO furnish
the requisite supply to keep the mines in
full operation. Through nearly all the an
thracite coal regions the supply Oi water is
short, and scarcely to be had except at points
where it can be pumped directly from the
river, in the Wilkesbarre region, bordering
the susqnehanna. This lack Of water has
materially shortened the coal supply and
quite relieved all necessity Of any further
discussion Of . limited coal suspension. But
