Eastern Vte,Cs ofthe Coal Trade.

BoSton.-The bituminous market
has been disturbed this week by the
reports of foods in the Georges
Creek region seriously interfering
with the output of several of the
largest shippers for week and per-
haps longer period, were it not for
the fact that the market is receiving
very few transient orders at this time,
an advance would doubtless beobtain-
ed on Georges Greek coal for time
being. There is but little coal NOV
ing outside of contractors, however.
Shippers are crowding coal along as
fast as possible on their contracts.
The weakening in provincial freights
has again lowered the price of culm,
which is now selling at $40 deliver
ed, and no one ventures to say that the
bottom has been reached. Domes-
tic coal continues At $3.6o(9$3.7o,
delivered.-Engineering and Mining
Journal.
New York.-The bituminous coal
trade is quiet, and shows no change,
unless it is a more depressed feeling
than could have been noted hereto
fore. We hear of low prices locally
on the Goals new to this market, and
of extremely favorable contracts Ito
the buyer) on some eastern business.
The only relief that can possibly be
afforded il consolidation Of interests.
In the Pittsburg, Chicago and Buff
falo market reports will be found a
repetition of the Improbable nature
of this branch of the coal trade. In
1871, when the tonnage Of the two
principal districts supplying the sea-
board was some three million tons,
this coal at 5000 at New York. In
1876. when the tonnage was no great
er, but the relative positions of the
dictrlcts changed, it sold at $500.
Now that we have total ofsay FIVE
million tons, the price ranges about
$500 per ton. Does not this state
ment of facts show the effect Of the
production and cause Of the low
prices.--Coal Trabe Journal.

LAST Sunday afternoon between
two and three o'clock the shock of an
earthquake was felt in Eastern Mary
land, Pennsylvania, New York and
as far north as Maine. This may
mean trouble to both Messrs. Blaine
and Cleveland, who reside up there,
and Messrs. Logan and Hendricks,
who are visiting in that direction. A
great many people were scared, but
we are happy to record the fact that
the alarm was confined only to the
"annex." Indeed, all the residents
of Cumberland were at Sunday school
at the time so deeply engrossed in
study that they did not recognize
that an earthquake had got into the
kitchen.

SOMEBODY once said it was very
lucky that rivers always ran past
large cities. The reproduction of
this sapient remark is occasioned by
the following paragraph taken from
the Cumberland Times of last Sat-
day:
The Frostburg Journal makes anoth-
er appeal for its angelic appellation
for Dams Rock but while one admires
its grandest fight of fancy pictured on
ethereal walls, he Is suddenly dropped,
IS the editors thoughts revert to that

coal. By the way, why not Cumberland

Cumberland and consequently the coal
under the former is properly named.

Now We HAVE IT.-The follow
ing editorial gem describes among
some other things how the ''people
Of Cumberland" were unaffected by
the earthquake shock Of last Sunday.
Should anybody be skeptical about
the previous appearance of the gem
We ''point with pride" to the Cum
land Times Of Monday:
Land-locked and nountain-ribbed
AZ the people of Cumberland are, they
were not aware that Yesterday about
two o'clock the people Of the country OH
the seacoast from Maine to Baltimore
were affrighted at a severe earthquake.
the first of magnitude that has dis
turbed the Atlantic coast for nearly
three-fourths of a century. In Cum
berland at the hour of two o'clock tho
sun burst forth from the clouds that
had hidden it for two days, while the
leaves upon the trees scarcely trem-
bled beneath the gentle zephyrs that
hoated in the branches.
No one can be sure what is meant
by "land-locked," but everybody will
understand that each individual Of a
"mountain-ribbed" people must have
an Appalachian range wrapped in his
anatomy. But the poetic joke is the
Times best exaggeration. We learn
from this % that zephyrs are gentle;
ca that they float ~ that the leaves
upon the trees are below the branches,
and a. that the branches are above
the trees

AN ABANDONED PIECE OF THE
NATIONAL. ROAD. Ii being under
stood that the commissioners Of this
county had instructed tie supervisor
Of the wpstern section Of the National
Road 10 work only 10 the eastern line
of Garrett county, some controversy
has arisen over the duty OF each
county i'll the premises. Samuel
Johnson, supervisor Of the eastern
section Of the Garrett portion of The
road, wrote 20 tho president Of the
Garrett board vi commissioners for
instructions and received the follow
ing:
BLOOMINGTON Mp, Aug. H. 1881.
Mr. SAMUEL JoHNsoS--Uear Sir: Ia an
swer to yours | would advise you to work the
National Pike To the western line, as | have
ascertained that the people living east Of that
line pay taxes to Allegany county. Hence
they should keep their roads up. With re-
spect yours, A. MULLEN.
The result Of these determinations
leaves about three-fourths of a mile
of the road unattended to-at point
needing more than usual care. And
this is quite enough, we understand,
to drive u considerable trade else
where, which, with road fairly pass
able, naturally gravitates to Frost
burg.
But our commissioners cannot af-
ford to recognize the eastern line rs
dividing Allegany and Garrett. Not
longer ago than last winter they con-
tested its establishment before the
Legislature, and the latter body, for
strong constitutional reasons, rejected
a Garrett county bill which practi-
cally sought to designate and make
permanent the eastern line. The
Legislature, by that negative act,
fixed the western line as the mark of
division.
1t would, therefore, look badly for
