Eastern Tie,cs of the Coal Trade.

Bituminous coal is heard of as al
ready making active overtures for
the steam coal trade for the year
1885. Wherever there is contract
likely to be had, the competition is
brisk, and the figures named are low
in the extreme. We hear of Goals
selling all the way from $3.50 to$2.S IS
for Clearfeld, and $500 and 1920
for Cumberland, alongside at New
York, and the Boston market is full
of offers down to 1926 Delivered
Coal Trade Journal.
The bituminous market of course
has been carried on under the influ-
ence of a large tonnage and low
prices, which are claimed to be as a
consequence below value especially
asa steamer producer. Mining Re
cord.
Phi1aaelphia.-Vessels are IN de-
mand and freights are high. The
bltuminous trade is attracting good
deal of attention. Several railroad
conferences have been held to deter
mine on the pooling Of tide water
bituminous. -Four railroads are con-
cerned-the Pennsylvania, the b. &
O., the Reading, and the Lehigh Val
ley. The latter three would like
combinations, the first is Indifferent,
as only 100000 tons Of coal and
coke out of a total of IA, 100000 tons
reached tide water.
B0st0u.-There is no movement of
Importance in bituminous coal. There
is 40 change from the previously ex-
pressed opinion that the trade will
come slowly. 1t will be borne in
mind that the price Of bituminous
coal, delivered, has declined one dol
lara ton since last season opened.
Many contracts were made on which
there was subsequent market de-
cline of from 80 to so cents ton,
and this is a matter of importance in
some large contracts. 1t is estimated
that the Eastern railroad, which
was The first to enter this market last
year, at about this date, must have
lost about $4,000, compared with
the lowest prices, unlese rebate was
allowed them. Such little things
naturally cause tendency to hang
back, although the early buyer may
fare best in view of the existing very
low figures. This does moi seem
probable, however. Transient sales
are quoted at $3.55M$3.10, delivered.

Once more the flight Of time hear
In that lone bell across the snow
Twelve frosty echoes blow on blow
The cave! yaler' of the year!
Long silent voices, once so dear,
Return tonight; the hands we pressed
Stretch back to us to be caressed-
Through folded gloom the worlds draw near.

Once more Orion's sword of gold
Is cleaning in the air afar
And at his feet the tiny star
We call our home lies dim and cold.
The glowing map of night reveals
Its circing orbs upon their way;
The world is turning watch and pray;
Hear music in the mighty wheels.
Let faith, foredreaming Of the goal
That summons all the flying years,
Here, round this vast mysterious spheres
The utmost one forever roll.
The God-sphere* holding each in place
So that the song rolls, and a jar
In earth or in the remotest star
Can lend no discord, but grace.

To Him who marks the sparrow's fall
Nothing is great or small, or strange;
Death has its hour, and life its change,
And runs the love of God through all.
Helpus, o Lord, to bear thy love;
Thy loveis great, bend thou our will
To thy own law that guides us still
And guides the wandering lights above.

THE Cumberland (Md.) Times says
the B. and O. rolling mill there "has
made upwards of SO millions Of tons Of
iron and steel! There is an increase Of
II millions of tons over last year"
We always thought we'll of Cumber-
land, as it is niee little city, but had
no idea that it had rolling mill with
such capacity. Swank must be out
in his report of the output in the United
States, for he only gives the whole
country credit for less than tenth of
the amount stated by our E. Coal
Trade Jour~sl.
We never before saw the force of
the 'overproduction" theory. Each
ton Of this magnificent turnout should
have placed at least 81 i'll Cumber-
land, or $50, 100000, or $4,000 to
each, man, woman and child in the
city. In this instance "overproduc-
ton would mean abundance, the
latter so much wealth generally dis
tributed, yet some of us are actually
miserable, having been argued into
believing that we are making more
than we can eat, wear and sleep in.

Sudden Death ora Prom tncmt Citi-
zen-This community was shocked to
learn Christmas morning of the sudden
death Wednesday night of Mr.. James
Is. Thomas, superintendent of the Con-
solidation coal company. He had been
complaining or..scme time of trouble
in the region of the heart. recent
prostration from which occasioned con-
siderable alarm. He rccuperated,
however, and became able to discharge
his duties. AS late as Wednesday
evening he Vas in town in apparently
good health. He had visited Ocean
that day. At Up. m. he complained
OF feeling badly and retired. Three
honls later severe pains set in which
lasted over an hour, terminating in
Inconsistencies. A few minutes
after-at HIS p. m.-he died. The
immediate cause Of death was lesion

MIR. Thomas WAS an able and faith
full administrator OF the great trust
held by him so long. He was over
ready to moct the demands of the com
pany, and i'll order to provide for all
contingencies in in this direction sever
al important productive schemes were
originated and successfully engineered
by him. He gave personal supervision
to the operations under his manage
ment and saw for himself as far as
possible how everything was moving.
a man of amiable manners and kind
ly disposition, lie yet entertained in
flexible notions of duty and discipline.
Of strong friendships, he stood by his
ieutenants and constantly befriended
those whom he trusted. In conse-
quence he incurred some unpopularity,
a measure Of which falls to every one,
particularly those invested with
authority. In his family he was the
faithful husband, and discreetly in
dulsent parent.
His wife and five grown children
survive him-one son, Benjamin J.

A NEW KIND OF PoOL.-The re-
ported establishment of school
book pool by the publishing houses
of the country is not apt to be more
popular than other combinations Of q
similar character, especially whom
public opinion is beginning to decide
that the State should furnish the
books as we'll as the tuition. 1t is
just possible that the publishers may
overreach themselves by forcing the
State to become the author and finish
er of its own textbooks.
