GENERAL ITEMS.
Eastern Tieacs oft Coat TRADE.

Neec York.-There is a slight re-
duction here apparent in the volume
of bitumlnous shipments. Unques-
tionably, the use of this species of
coal is increasing IN the East, coupled
with d disposition on the part of pro-
Queer to sell as much as possible
Sales are reported in Boston at from
$3.50 to $3.50, with sales here at from
$2.70 to Sustaining Rccora.
BITUMlNoUs quiet and quoted
dull by the majority Of the shippers !;
tonnage now being produced is
placed on contracts for there are few
new transactions to be recorded.
With the improvement in industrial
pursuits SAID to be now in sight,
there will be an increasing use of
coal, but it is hard to work up any
enthusiasm Oh this subject at
present, and buyers have plenty Of
offers made to them of coal, at all
prices, according to quality and
general reputation. The interior
markets are much disorganized.
Constant reference to Pennsylvania
and Vanderbilt interests by the
daily press may have been remarked
by our readers; any result attained
must be higher price for trans
portation and necessarily for coal.
This soft coal has been given away
during this season, for no one can
figure up profit at the tolls that
have been realized far the carriage of
the commodity. The eastern mark
ct reports are of small transactions
at irregular and low prices, ranging
from $3.25 to $3.50 delivered. -Coal
Trade Journal.
There is practically nothing doing
in this class of coal on new orders.
Prices are quite as low as they have
been, and freights are very favorable
to shippers. This branch of the
trade is looking with much interest
upon the negotiations between the
Pennsylvania Railroad and Mr.. Van
derbilt, hoping that it will result in
the Pennsylvania securing control of
the Beech Creek road and equalizing
the advantages in freight rates.
Boston.-There is no special activ-
lty in bituminous, and if there were,
it would be concealed as carefully as
possible, as every thing is done on the
still hunt principle. We learn that,
where it was supposed the Providence
Railroad had bought at least half
years supply early in the season, it
now turns out that this road has quite
lately bought $4,000 tons of Cumber-
land. The Providence Railroad
burns 10000 tons yearly. The par
ties selling the $4,000 tons have had
the reputation of abiding by the pool

calmness of the Sabbath and the de-
clining day give charm to these SER
vices hard to be excelled.
The ocean with its grandeur and
pleasures absorbs the general atten
ton to such extent as to put into the
background some other really very
charming objects of interest. Wesley

three-eighths of mile long and of
varied width from 200 to compare
lively few feet. The houses on the
south side are elevated considerably
above the margin of the lake, with ter
races and steps leading to little landings
A broad cemented walk extends the
entire length of the lake. Hundreds
of boats are plying to and fro for the
pleasure of visitors. Two ferries
carry passengers to the other side for
the modest sum of one cont. AT night
the scene here, particularly when it is
moonlight, is beautiful and romantic
beyond description. The boats, fur
nlshed with Chinese lanterns which
dance about as the boats move on; the
reflection of the lights from either side !;
the lake bathed in moonlight remind
one of Venice and her gondolas, or of
some picture of fairyland.
The public services are held in the
large auditorium, an immense taber-
nacle open all around, but with q COW
cred roof and capable of seating 5000
or 5000 persons. There are also two
entirely closed buildings for smaller
meetings, in the larger of which each
morning at 9 o'clock a Young Peoples
Meeting is held. These buildings
stand within the camp meeting ground

SEASIDE PLEASURES
Told by One Who is Enjoying Then

OCEAN grove, July q, 1885.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Thinking it might be of some inter-
est to the readers of your paper to hear
from distant places, concluded to send
a few lines from these parts.
Ocean Grove is situated in the north
ern part OF New Jersey, about six miles
south of Long Branch. The grounds
proper cover 800 acres. To the north
of it lies Asbury park, from which it is
separated by Wesley lake. To the
south is Fletcher lake.
AS quiet seaside resort, free from
ostentatious display, and pervaded by
a religious spirit, with all the advanta-
ges possessed by the most favored wa
tsring places, it is unrivaled. The OPP
portunities for bathing are sufficient
for even greater numbers. AT Mr..
Ross there is pavilion of two floors
with seating accommodations for sew
eral hundred persons; refreshment Ia
oASo AhOoL PSllNSt loI
hot and cold sea water baths; rooms
for the ocean bathers; experienced
bathing masters always on hand in case
of accidents. The proprietor is an af-
fable gentleman Of easy manners.
AT the other end Of the grounds is
Mr.. Lillaeore' furnished with like ar
engagements in every particular save
the hot and cold bath tubs.
The bathing hours urnish an ANNA
ted picture Of all varieties of the race,
and an endless study of character.
The suits not being cut by fashiona-
Bile tailor for the individual wearer,
sometimes present very ludlcrous APP
pearance. Thin men with baggy
pants, tall men encased in short
clothes, ETC., but the most entertaining
sight is the very corpulent brother or
sister waddling to the waters edge in
suit that destroys all idea of form !;
pausing awhile; then venturing timid-
ly in the surf billow rolls majesti
cally along and after the foam and
spray clear up shapeless mass of blue
is seen emerging from the water. The
more adventurous spirits pay little re-
gard to the ordinary rules OF safety,
and perform all the acts Of aquatic
sport in deep water. Many of the Ia
dies are expert bathers--diving, float
ing, swimming equally with their male
rivals.
A feature of Ocean Grove is the Surf
Meeting at p. m. on Sundays. Vast
crowds of people can be seen vending
their way along the board walk and
taking position so as to enjoy the SER
vices. The pavilion where the meet
ing is held has Il broad platform con-
siderably higher than the beach from
this the speaker addresses the audience,
mostly seated in the sand below, only
a few feet from the surf. The exer-
cises consist of responsive readings
from the Scriptures, hymns, prayer
and addresses. The roaring Of tho
surf intermingl;ng with the human
voice and the tones of the cornet the

bad condition in the vicinity of Corn
ing, a place that a year ago was a
Hourishing town in the heart of the
coal region. The dull times inaugr-
ted nearly year ago by the closin,,
of the Ohio Central coal mines have
been steadily increasing, and have
been added to by the litigation be-
tween the Ohio Central and the Sun

cality is now almost deserted. A new
shaft has been sunk on the Rodgers
property, near Corning, but on ac-
count of the litigation referred to,
nothing is done.

A CURIOUS cave-in has occurred at
Stellarton, Nova Scotia, the seat of
the Oldest coal mines IN the province,
and q thriving town. A man living
near an old pit went into his garden
to pick some lettuce for breakfast.
Immediately after he returned to the
house his lettuce bed had disappeared.
a q in its stead was hole ten or fif-
teen feet IN diameter extending to the
bottom of the pit. The spot was
about twenty feet from the house. and
eight or ten feet from the street.
