Thc Antl,rocite COM Trade.

The outlook in the anthracite coal trado con-
tinues good. Prices are well maintained, tho
average for various sizes being about $4 per
ton, and there being possibility OF an ad-
vance on the 1st OF August. There Is but little
probability OF suspension in production, and
tho product is not likely to exceed the demand,
nor is the product large, as twill not be likely
to exceed the years estimate Of thirty mil
lions OF tons. The total tonnage OF anthracite
coal from all the regions for the week ended
July 8 amounted to 4S7,001 tons, against
1881. The total amount OF anthracite mined
for the year is 13,276,937 tons, against

THE clerks and other employees Of tho
Government must be surprised at the in
terest manifested in their welfare by the
so-called Civil Service Reformers. THE
Critics advice to them is to pay no attcn-
tion to the hue and cry raised for and
against political assessments, but to decide
the question as they would any other busi
ness matter; for, after all, it is purely q
question Of business.

A FRIEND, who had the hardihood to
look over the contents of a double sheet
Erening Yesterday, asks us why it publishes
in its list of residences of Congressman the
names of Wheeler Dibble, Chalmers, and
Finley, who were unseated weeks ago, and
Hawk, who is dead. We answer our friend.
1t publishes the list to save expense Of COM
position. 1t publishes the names referred
to because 1t has not yet heard that they
were not in Congress. You can't expect
tho sleepy sheet to know of the news the
same summer it happens.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS were the
net receipts at the door of Madison Garden,

between Sullivan and Wilson. In view of
the possible failure of the Potomac flats ap-

that moro than its equivalent might be
secured by an arrangement for mill be.
tween Robson and Whitthorne and But
terworth and Cox. The drawing qualities
of these belligerent statesmen are certainly
equally as good as those Of the pugilistic
