THREATENED ADTANCE ~ coal.

THREATENED ADTAACE Nv COAL
The coal companies have determined, it is stated,
to advance the price OF anthracite 10 cents on coal
aud 10 on freights IL seems hardly possible that
this has any other basis than n stock-iobbngrumor.
For tine prices which tho companies have been try
ing 10 get have not been maintained. The announce
meut that the Lackawanna obtained an average of
only about - for coal ut tide water in November
has been followed by lower sales in other quarters.
and a reduction of quotations. that chestnut is
quoted by The Engineering and Mining journal at
sos. II the companies are not ablo to maintain
nrices on the present basis, what good can be ex-
pectcd from an advance
Some harm at all events, is likely to follow Al
ready II stated that the higher prices for coal will
prevent the starting Of number of blast furnaces,
which were about to g into operation after jan
nary /. The price of pig iron had advanced 80
cents per ton at Philadelphia, and this
was made an excuse by tho coal
pauies for so advancing tho cost Of
anthracite that furnaces using that fuel, about ll2
tons TO the ton Of iron, will have TO give three
quarters Of the advance on iron 10 the coal people.
and get only l2la cents of 1t for themselves The
natural result of this Is to increase the advantage
which the bituminous and coke furnaces already
have II is Just tins policy which has caused the
production of anthracite iron TO he less than
was in 1872, thirteen years ago, while the pro1uc-
tion Of bitumnous iron has risen In the same time
from % 80 tons to 25ii7i2 last year, and prob
ably about as much this wear. The anthracite fur
mace, IN blast December were Of the capacity of
only 30l 432 tons yearly, and the average for the
wear thus far has been only 23l 800 yearly, while
the bitnmin0us furnaces in blast December | were
of the capacity of 2.5S90S0 tons yearly. 1t is the
great vice of American business life that there is
too much haste to grasp all tho advantages and
profits that possibly be reached. and tho result
too often is that the business is wholly prostratod
so that there profits whatever to be grasped
by any body.

Now, when every heart is expanding and
every purse contracting under the cheerful in
fluence of an approaching merry Christmas, it
is to be hoped that no one will forget the
obligations of Hospital Saturday and Sunday.
Surely, out of the sum set aside for charity,
which begins at home, a small amount can be
devoted to relieving the sufferings and soften
ing the hardships of the thousands treated at
the hospitals connected with the association.
No appeal for wOrthier object is made to the
New York public than this one, which greets
lis on the last Saturday and Sunday of the year.
1t deserves generous response.

If Congress SHOULD occupy every possible
moment from now until its final adjournment
ii is doubtful il it could consider all the meas
ures laid before it. Yesterday 1,004 bills were
offered in the House, and hardly third of the
States were called. However, if the members
work diligently under the new rules, those bills
which are really of value can be carefully dis
cussed, and the public veal advanced. A ma
jority OF the measures proposed every year are
sent TO committees and very properly are
never heard of again until the next Congress
meets.

IL is to be hoped that the Board of Estimate
and ApportiOnment will make as sweeping re-
auctions all along the line of the municipal
estimates for 1886 as they did yesterday in
those of the departments of Public Works and of
Charities. Mr. Squire's modest demand for
100000 more than he had this year was
cut down to less than 100000. Even this
allows him more than he ought to have. The
Commissioners of Charities and Correction got
100000 less than they had asked for. This is
all right, too, although we cheerfully admit
that the department has the reputation of being
well managed that is, comparatively speaking
1t is not at all likely that the persons interested
in these two departments feel very badly over
the treatment accorded them. la getting up
their estimates they always allow for immense
reductions.

A number of residents on Fidalgo
island will spend the fourth of July
in a quiet, inexpensive way, on the
sea shore, outside of Deception Pass,
gong there in their boats early on
the fourth, or the day before, tak>

with them, and for those who have
no tents, shelter during the night
can be afforded, by DIR. Bowman,
Tom Sharpe, DIR. Childs, and others
near by. A sail in and out of De-

assembled, magic lantern exhibi>
ton for the children at night, few
sky rockets that patriotic parties
may bring with them, and quiet day
of enjoyment amongst the grandest
.. emery found on Puget Sound,are
the attractions offered. Excellent
wster and good camping grounds are
found on the military reservation.
The Arrow can probably be charter

the Plugged Sound growers is of low
grade, because the farmer is go care
less about shearng and packing the

The latter was neatly tied together,
and when unrolled was found to, be
clean and entire, while the fleece
from the Sound growers was broit-

it, has been found at the foot Of Mt.

is very plain, apparently woman's

have been made when the granite
was still in plastic state, by some
fair aboriginal maiden who roamed
over these rugged crags when they
were still known as Mt. Tulsegh,
