the year 1875. The great Appalachian
basin embraces an area of coal-bearing
rocks of nearly $4,000 square miles,
and is second in Importance to the an
thracite region. Ohio comes next
Other sources of supply are in Michi-

The aggregate sales of pork by the board

10000 tierces Prominent in this aggre-
gate was one item of 10000 tierces, sold on
the morning call by Geo.Lord Bloom to PIP.
Hutchinson at S11.321s for March. It was
supposed that Mr. Bloom offered this on
bluff, as when It was taken up by Mr..
Hutchinson, he tried to back out OF the
deal, but he was held TO it. II was prob
ably this transaction that prevented lard
from weakening as badly as pork did. It
showed that capital was inclined to take
hold Of the property, and the fact gave
confidence to good many parties who
turned in as buyers, mainly, however to
fill.

good bread out of flour that didn't cost
