4 BIG CUT IN COAL.

The Pittsburg and Southern Coal Com
pans yesterday made decided cut in the price
of coal at the New Orleans market, which
places coal close down to the margin Of the cost
of production. 1t has been well known along
Water street for two months that the coal
men were not making any money this fall.
The coal price has been so close to the figure
OF cost that nobody, except the large opera
tors, have made any money whatever, and
the large operators have had, on the face Of
the returns, very little profit. The new cut
leaves the smallest margin practicable. As
one of the large operators said yesterday:
''The limit left to US is the very smallest on
which we can do business, but at the same
time it ought to show to the miners that we
are unable to pay the half cent extra which
they demand"
The cut ordered yesterday for coal at New
Orleans is as follows: First and Second
pool coal from % to 25 cents barrel; Third
pool from % to "a cents; Fourth pool from
q to % ceuts.
A barrel Of coal, according to the meas
urement of coal made in the New Orleans
market, is 2 3-5 bushels. At the rate of %
cents for the best coal the cost price per
bushel for the New Orleans operators is
about 91z cents, little over. per bushel.
Mr.. Richard Barrows, the Secretary of
the-CoaI Exchange, said yesterday: mo
profit is left, by the low rate on coal, to the
operators. I do not believe that a single
operator on the river this season has made
dollar on the coal business. The margin
has been too small, even leaving out Of ac-
count the heavy losses which the river oper-
ators have suffered during this fall, where
many barges have gone down"
There is likely to be q lively contest among
Pittsburg operators for the New Orleans
market. Opposed to the heavy operators
who are Joined in the Pittsburg and South
ern Company, there are others, some Of
whom have yielded the Scent per bushel
price demanded by the miners, and cannot
afford to yield to the reduction on the lower
river.
The Moren line, 7. L. Wood and brother
and other independent operators were in the
city yesterday conferring as to the manner
in which they would meet the cut. They
are sOrely puzzled and freely confess their
inability to make q cent at the new rates.
According to the manner in which coal is
sold at New Orleans, the package goes with
the coal; in other words, the coalboat itself
is included in the price OF sale per bushel,
as stated. This fact emphasizes the meaning
of the heavy cut made, and illustrates the
determination of the large dealers of Pitts
burg to hold the Southern market at allod

1t was stated in labor circles yesterday
that the trouble between the management Of
the h. C. Frick Coke Company at the works
and the workers was owing to the continued
attempts of one of the local superintendents
to create dissensions among them.
The object was said to be for the purpose
of breaking down the organization which at
present exists with view to inducing such
a state of generalization among the men as
will render easier a re-adjustment of the

A meeting will be held tonight at Scott

them to continue al work. Tonight it will
be decided whether any contingent from
Scottdale will take part IN the Armstrong

was educated at Canonsburg Academy and
Jefferson College. He read law with Hon.
T. II. Baird. and was admitted to practice,

Councils could no longer dominate the
Southside representatives. He said it
would be shown by the votes in Councils
that the southside had some rights which
should be taken into consideration. The
question Of free bridges. he held, should be

claimed that the Southside Couneilmen

OF making them SO shown up. This, he
said, would bring the East End Councilmen

Chief Bigelow, Of the Department of
Public Works. when told Of the belligerent
attitude Of the Southside CouI eilmen, said
he thought that the good common sense Of
the Southside CounciImen would prevent
their making any sectional issue OF mat
ter which was calculated to benefit the
entire city. As far as the parks concerned
the Southside, he said they had much
greater advantage than the East Enders-
They could reach the Echenley Park much
quicker over the proposed Thirty-fourth
street bridge than the people from East Lib
