GENERAL ITEMS.
Eastern Vie,cs of the Coal Trade.

Neac Tork. -Bituminous Goals are in
increasing demand under the pressure
of present activity of all our manu-
featuring industries that require steam
fuel. This has kept alive and nurses
the demand in certain quarters for
establishing pool Of producing inter
ests SO as to enable such pool to con-
troll prices; in other words, to create
another monopoly. But happily,
there are strong forces antagonistic to
such q pool. and as yet the project
seems without probability OF success.
Meanwhile, agents for sale in east of
bituminous Goals are said to be I'M
willing to take large orders at present
prices Mining Record.
Soft coal is in first rate demand ct all
the trade centres and the indications
are that it will command a better 7 rice
next year than it has for some time.
The producers are taking action to
bring the business up to q more profit
able status, and tho carriers have al
most concluded that three mills Il mile
is not productive Of q fund out of
which to pay dividends. The jobbers
here are all firmer i'll their views and

taken as the market; no one seems to
care for orders ahead, so that it is
evident they believe in the pool"
doing some good; at the same time
buyers and consumers are acting on
the belief that this much talked Of
arrangement will result in something
similar to that of the last five years
every time a better price was about to
be had, and the result was worse than
before the talk. The meeting held
last Wednesday referred to the sub
committee, which met on Saturday,
the arrangement, if possible, Of GER
tain percentages which are to be
settled upon as those of the districts
supplying the seaboard trade. From
what we can gather, all the parties
interested are in accord, and they
speak of the arrangement as likely to
be made. and result in at least an
average OF $3.50 on board at the load
