NEW YoRK.--Whether the bitumin-
GUS branch of the trade is ever to work
out of the slough of low prices it has
fallen into, is a question ofimportance,
and one that deserves the best con.
sideration. A few transient sales are
reported from time to time, and these
cargoes are disposed Of an advance on
the extremely low contract rates, but
they do not reach above the $3.75
mark for this market. How long
such state Of affairs can continue is
impossible to foretell. Perhaps when
the operators and railroads get tired
of shaving margins so close as to rep
resent no profit, they may agree upon
distribution of the tonnage, and
take some provision for better price.
Surely steam coal consumers ought to
find no fault at the figure at which
they can purchase their supplies this
season. The tonnage is growing, as
glance at the figures of the two priuci-
pal districts supplying the seabosrd
will show.--Coal Trade Journal.
Although there is less Clearfeld
coal coming forward, there is no per-
ceptible improvement either in de-
mand or in prices. The threatened
trouble with the men has been clear

Coal PRoDuoT1oH.-This and the
Elk Garden region have averaged
204,475 tons per month this year, and
it is probable the production will ag-
grsgate $500 900 tons December 3lst.
OF the 1,738,034 tons sent out not
half 4 million have gone from mines
immediately around Frostburg. In
other words, we have sent out a
fraction over one-fourth the entire
output.
There is every reason to believe,
however, that next spring will wit
ness vast modification of the i'm.
menss disparity against us. Those
people who were fooled last spring in
railroad rates will not be duped
again.
Beyond this, the rapid and substan-
tial displacement Of anthracite by Bit
luminous coal for manufacturing pur-
poser, will impart stimulus to pro-
duotion that must be felt by the lat
ter interest, especially east o. the
Ohio river, in the near future, 80
much so that, Notwithstanding the
multiplication of new fields and sources
Of supply, there need be no fear of
any falling off in the demand for the
oonfsssedly best steam-genersting coal
in the world. The blowing" of COM
pstitprs for our trade and the inter-
estsd advocates Of bastard products
will alike fail in convincing consumers
that gas supersedes facts. 1t is be-
lisvsd, therefore, that next spring
with its operations and issues, will
introduce an old-time era of prosperity
in our immediate locality, which may
not be psralleled by any other SINH
lar section of the country. Mean
while, patience and economy should
bs the watchwords of prudent work
srs. Keep income and expense SO
near together that either cannot be
told from the other.

COKE DRIVING OUT ANTHRACITE.
the present year coke has
made startling inroads into the
foundry trade of anthracite coal in
the Eastern and Middle States, where
formerly the best grades of Lehigh
lump wers used to melt the iron in
cupolas for machinery and stove cast
ings. Connellsville, Snow Shoe and
ether cokes are so extensively used
that not more than one quarter or
one fifth of the quantity of anthracite
used years ago is consumed. The
low price of the coke and the COM
paratively stiff figures tor the anthra-
cite have, Of course, brought about
this revolution. 1t is likely that the
difference between the price of the
two grades of fuel will not remain SO
great for any length of time; but
the new rival is undoubtedly in
many respects better suited for the
purpose, and it will be difficult to
dislodge it.
