COAL-The following view of the market is
from the last weekly private circular of ]. W.
Harrison: :" The market remains in the same
depressed condition, no change III quotations
and but few sales to note from first hands, al
though the asking prices for loading foreign
grades are so low, but buyers are slow to re-
spond, as the general opinion is that low prices
Will rue the entire year. Their reasoning is
based oa the anticipation of a large influx of
vessels which will be principally coal carriers,
regardless of quotations here. There is no
question but We will have an immense crop to
move, and ship-owners will seek this port in
very large numbers, especially as the freight re-
ports from sall other sections of commerce are
peculiarly encouraging. The outlook for our
coast eollieres this year is gloomy, as they will
have to market their products at prices leaving
no margin for profit Stocks in yard here at
present are very large"
