A GOOD SIGN FOR BUSINESS.
Increase in the Number of Blast Furnaces
and COnsumption of CoaI

NEW YORK, Aug 27.-Mr. Frederick A.
Potts, president of the coal exchange, said
this morning that the impression that any
OF the surplus output in coal of the early
part OF the year was now hampering the
market was incorrect. This had all been
taken up and used by the dealers The
demand for coal was now healthy and ac-
tive and he believed that the October out
put would test the capacity of the mines,
which Is 3,25O,OOO tons. The output would
be 'oo0, 900 tons anyway. AS to prices, he
said there would be meeting of sales
agents next week and further advance
OF 10 or 10 cents on present prices would
doubtless be made. There were now in
operation l2l blast furnaces, as against
20 on October | of last year. Every add
tonal ton of iron mined meant Il ton and
Il half of coal consumed, so that there was
an increased demand of 100000 tons in
sight. but with the Improvement in pig
iron there was big improvement in the
manufacturing business. At a careful es
Innate, Mr.. Potts said the iron trade Will
take up 10000 more tons of coal than last
year.

There" said the old gentleman, as the
flock rose in the air, look at those birds,
Arabel. They are curlews. "Oh," cooed
