Concerning the trade in market the
New York Engineering and Mining
J0Wrnaj says:
The trade is stronger and the shading that
was so common early III the season is now
scarcely ever heard Of. In fact, we believe
that all the producers are getting full prices
and some are getting even little more than
the circular rates. 1t would be strange if the
bituminous trade should not reflect some of
the activity and advance in price which has
come to the anthracite trade and which has
brought with it so great prosperity. The en-
pectation is that from this on the bituminous
trade will continue to improve, and it would
not surprise us if somewhat better prices
were obtained later in the season. We con-
tinue to quote $3.50 f. o. b. Baltimore and
Georgetown, and 50 p for Now York. There
is rumor that negotiations are going on
with the view of selling the Flat Top Trust
lands to an English syndicate
And the Mining Re"Ord. of same city :
The hituminOus coal trade shows improve
mont as orders are not only more frequent,
but larger than they have been for some
time. The same difficulty regarding cars,
experienced in the anthracite region is re-
ported in the soft coal sections. Prices are
still low, the prevailing figures being fIom -
to 90 cents per ton at the mines A good
business i'll tonnage has been going on in the
direction of Boston, while the activity at the
mines is greater than ever known before.
This may be said of all the fields of Mary
land, the NirgniaS Ohio, Illinois and
Indiana.
