The AngI'rdcifr C00t Trade.
lPotisyille Miners Journall

The steady opera tons at the mines since
the first week in Novembe has largely in
creased the accumulation OF coal the tide
water shipping points. There is now stored
at these points about 1 ,000,t } tons, and some
Of the sizes are in such quantity that IL has
become a problem rs TO what TO do
with il. This is particularly the
case with pea and buckwheat,
which have suffered in com petition with btu
minous for manufacturing purposes. Broken
is also in considerable quantity, while all the
domestic sizes are very little in EXCESS
Next week there will be a suspension of
transportation, and good policy would dictate
also Il total suspension Of mining, which
would he effective in materially reducing the
Accommodations; but the practice of the year
has been such, in many quarters, as to jus
'tily the belief that there will not be more
than three days actual Suspension,
and the three days. work; will procure abou.
all the coal that will be sold during the week
leaving the stock In hand about the same
quantity as now to be carried over the new
year Much of this coal may be placed al
once, but it will be- at a sacrifice OF price, and
this reduction will set an example for the
year that will be hard to break. II would
thus appear that the inevitable fate
of all but the domestic sizes is to
be sold at reduction of price as compared
with the year now drawing to close.
About $4,000 600 tons will be marketed this
year. Next year 1t is reasonable To expect a
sale of about 10000, 600 tons. The collier

stoppages, when the repositories and cars
would all be filled, would produce about 40
100000, The basis OF next years opera
lions viii be 80, 100000 tons, and an ar
rangement will be agreed upon to restrict
the production of that quantity. In 1879,
the last year OF full time, the average price
obtained for coal in Philadelphia, exclusive
of freight and tolls, was 81
The cost of this coal, delivered
at Schuykill Haven, was S1.9O.
showing an actual loss TO the operator of 90
cents on every ton sent 10 market, and In
1877 the loss was 81 a ton. 1t will be
seen from this that the coal trade REQUIRES To
be very intelligcntly handled to secure the
producing Interests from actual loss.
Tie quantity Of c. sCDt 10 market for the
week ending Dec. IL. was 705, 224 tons as
against 639. 029 tons for the same week of last
year. The quantity for the year SO far is
20, POP, $50 tons. against 80, TAI. 903 tons for
the corresponding period OF last year, de-
crease of 1,545.3l3 tons.
