The Philadelphia Ledger, Of last Monday
says. The anthracite coal trade is substan'
TALLY unchanged in condition. general dull
ness being reported in all sises excepting
the larger ones for furnace use, and storing
up Of the domestic sizes consequently being
! announced from most Of the shipping Iurts
1t looks very much as II, in the present state
Of the market. even the half time working
at the mines which continues az tho policy
Of all the companies, were producing rather
too much coal for the actual demand. The
stock stored at Port Richmond was increased
last Saturday by more than one third of the
amount arriving there during the week,
although vessels are in fair supply aud
navigation open. Possibly before long a
stoppage ior more than three days in each
week may be necessary to bring the output
down to the actual demand, IL this does not
increase. Orders for shipment are verv light,
and consumers still pursue a waiting polc'.
Last week, comparedawith the same week
last year, showed an increased output OF
nearly 10000 tons, while thus lar the
year is almost 4j0, 300 tons ahea0 OF 1852.
There is holding off by buyers in the ex-
l,ectation Productions both inpriccs and tolls
when the spring fairly opens, and there is
also the same report Of shading..tf prices at
New York as has been made for some time
past, so that the general market steadily
lavors consumers. The half time restric
lion is TO continue throughout March. The
New York Engineering and Mining journal
says that in that city "the representatives
Of the companies have had a plumber Of
conferences in relation to the fixing Of open.

take any steps until navigation is opened
aud it has been accordingly decided to let
things alone until the lst of April. 1t is re-
ported that the figures contemplated will
he So so. So 90 and $4.S5, though the latter
one, Tor stoye, is considered too high by
some authorities in the trade. 1t is GER
taiuly the policy which the companies are
bound to pursue to make these prices as
high as they reasonably can in order to
make their contracts covering large periods
remunerative. This feeling probably will
make them continue the policy Of restric-
ting during the rest OF the month and, as
there will he fifteen idle days there is little
doubt that the market must experience at
least a.temrorary a revival"
The total amount OF onthracite coal sent
to market for the endiLg February "a, as
reporteihuv the several carrying companies,
was 43I,766 tons, compared with BAL, 7O5
tons in the corresponding week laslIyear, an
increase of 93,O6I tons. The total amount
of anthracite mined thus far in the: year
1888 is 3.654,7j4 tons, compared with S,2O7,
700 tons for the same period last year, an
increase Of 4l7,Oj4 tons.

Miners Rights Sustained.

A case oi unusual interest to the min ers
nf the anthracite enal regions wns decided in
Schuylkll county Quarter Sessions Curt
last Tuesday. Under the amendment of
the Mine Ventilation Act Of Nav, 1879,
whenever ten men shall haye arrived at the
bottom Of the shaft or slope, they shall be
furnished with an empty wagon or cage to
ride M. The mine operators have always
complained that this act was unfair, and
gave body Of malicious men an oppornn-
ity to entirely stop the works. At West
Bear Ridge Colliery, operated by Myers,
McCreary Il Company, recently ten men
were refused wagon when they desired to
come OFT. A test case was decided upon,
and William Edwards, inside boss. Edwar.i
Carey, under boss. and j. Muidowney, bot
tom man, were prosecuted for misdemeauor
by Inspector Mauchline. The case came 90
Tuesday. A true bill was found against
Edwards. lie pleaded guilty, and was sen

Another Cave-in,


cave-n occurred Friday at the Turkey
Run Coliery, near Shenandoah, carrying
down into a work d out portion OF the
mine large piece of the wagon road be-
tween Shenandoah ana Frackville. The
road runs alongside the mountain, and the
Turkey Run bre kcr stands right below it.
Several smaller cracks have appeared sew
eral times before, necessitating change in
the location Of the road. The present cave
in is the more serious because it cuts of all
communication by stage with towns south
west Of Shenandoah Three men have
since been engaged watching it, and at
times, frightened by the noises caused by
the hoaving Of the pillars Of coal beneath
them in the mines, have fed for their lives.
