increased output of coal for the entire State, and

is not what it might have been. The demand
has been good, the railroads have been sufficient
in number and hauling power, but the prevailing
complaint has been scarcity of cars Mean
while two great pools have formed, one for the
West and one for the East. Anthracite and

better. The miner is not an Indifferent specta-
tor. for in advanced prices he sees higher rates
