thing definite is done. if Spring with

Of the present wintry aspect. There
has been considerable feeling about
the relative coat Of putting coal into
New York and the Eastern markets,
from different mining centres. Here
follows calculation showing the re-
spective net cost of gross TONS Of
Clearfeld and Georges Creek coal la

$3.50 Georges Creek, $4.74. Clear
fsld at Baltimore $3.50; Georges

$5. II Georges Creek $5.l6.
1t will be seen from this statement
that some close figuring will have to
be done. One thing We trust will be
honored mors in the breach than in
the observance, is the gambling on
freights between shipping ports and
destination. 1t has been proposed
that the wages in Ciearfeld be re.
duced to give the operators some lit.

done-Coal Trade Journal.

low IL at there can be absolutely no
croft, indicating that the Cumber-
land shippers who have made the
offers in question must look to some
.her source for a margin. On the
,ther hand, Clearfeld shippers have
taken low contracts, showing that
ii her they are determined not to
lo.e their grip on the market or that
they are willing to impress the rail
road company in this way.
PHILADELPHIA.-The Few railroad
freight charges which went into
feet March 1st, are not regarded II
some quarters as permanently fixed
.th,ugh no good reasons are assignee
for expecting any modification o.
hem, at q near or remote date
The bitrminous trade is unusually
dull. The demand for msnufactur
ing purposes is light, and inquiries
tor future shipments are very scant.
Some collieriss have shut down en-
lirely, others are working in part
and only in limited number is pro
duction fully maintained. The in
dustrisl situation in the State bears
very directly and strongly on this
trade. Manufacturers have restrict ed
to the narrowest limits. The dispo-
sition Of this question lifts load oil
uncertainties from the trade and al
lows all concerned to act. Consider
able cutting is going on, to prevent
an accumulation Of stocks. The nor
NAL requirements are large, and
miners anticipate lively demand at
very early day.
PITTsBuRG.-Trade here is about
as unsatisfactory and unsettled as is
the weather, which is saying a good
deal. Dealers and operators talk
more hopefully since the passage OF
the Tariff Bill by Congress, but its
provisions are far from satisfactory.
The rate on cottous ties alone means
at least 1900 bushels less Of coal
consumed daily in this city, due to
the stoppags of two concerns devoted
to the making Of ties.
BosToN.-Bituminous dealers are
not particularly anxious to sell coal
at present, as tolls are not satisfsct-
orily settled but no buyer is allowed
to depart. There is strong evidence
of a still hunt and prospects of a
lively competition between the Cum
berland and Clearfsld dealers. Ac-
cording to present tolls, the nominal
asking free board prices are So &c
for Clear6sld and So 40 for Cumber-
land. These prices are wholly nomi-
nal, however. The ball opened with

MINING JOURNAL.
FRoSTBURG, MD, MARCH 10, 1888.

SHOULD the Tar # Act, passed by
the late Congress. occasion efforts to
reduce va ,es, thers is trouble ahead
Interviews in numerous industrial
sections indicate that the workingmen
will almost universally resent and re-
sist any and every assault upon theN
wages. In that case the next struggle
will not be a dssultory one, but will
engage the whole line. In the Pitts.
burg section it is said:
The unanimity with which iron manu-
fac,urers have declared in pl blished inter
views that under tho new tariff wages OF
all classes ofworkmtn will haveto be re.
duced, finds no echo in tine breast OF those
who will be most affected, the workmen
and It will be. strange il, In addition 10
other troubles, this will not be season
off great strikes.
Mr.. Tslford, of the Labor Tribune
reports that the tone of his papers
correspondence from all sections
Indicates that workingmen all over the
country anticipate an increase of wages
this year instead Of reduction, and he Is
of the opinion that any attempt to reduce
wages will be stubbornly resisted.
John FlAnnsry, who represents the
knights Of Labor Of that district, is
also certain that any proposition to
reduce wages will be opposed, and he
can see no reason why wages should
be reduced. He said:
have not studied the tariff bill very
closely, but am certain that the reduc.
tlons are not 80 great as to tear up things
generally. If there are any burdens they
should not bo thrown entirely on the
shoulders Of the workirgmen, but should
be equally divided. am told that one
manufacturer Of this district claims to
have made 81 100000 last year. Now, II
instead of reducing the wages OF his
workmen 10 to 16 per cent, he would be
content with that much of reduction In
his profits, there would be no necessity for
reduced wages, and the manufacturer
would not feel the loss. But don't be-
lieye in these stories of disaster. Our
manufacturers knew what was coming,
yet they continued to invest large sums
of money increasing their plant. If they
expected to lose money don't think they
would have done this.
The one preventative Of the disas-
ter thus foreshajowsd is available
only to capital itself. 1t must speed
lily get upon its "gootl behavior" and
stay there.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States delivered three important de-
cisions Monday. One was suit
brought against the governor, auditor
and treasurer of Louisiana to compel
to appropriate to the payment of the
principal and interest of certain bonds
a specific State tax and to continue
to levy and collect said tax for this
purpose. The couit ruled that the
officers were bound to obey the man
dates of tie State, to which alone
they owed duty that they have no
contract relation with bondho!ders,
giving the latter power over them,
and that the Supreme Court cannot
oust the political power of a State in
its jurisdiction and set the Judiciary
in it's place.
Another decision denied the right
Of the States of New York and New
Hampshire to receive by assignment
bonds of other States held by their
citizens and, as States, bring suits for
recovery on these bonds sgainst issu-
ing them. such as the constitution Of
the United States specifically prohibits
citizens from bringing.
A third decision sustains the valid
ity o. the Rlddleberger bill passed by
the Virginia Legislature in the inter
est OF practical repudiatton of one
If the obligations OF that State.
