The midsummer dullness usual at this
period of the year is the prevailing
feature in the anthracite coal trade.
There is noted slight increase in activity
in the Eastern trade, the demand for
coal from that quarter having improved
during the past week, and some new
orders have been received by shippers
for broken and stove sizes. Fancy red
ash Goals are in good demand, but the
supply is short at present. The Western
anthracite business is still somewhat
backward, but it is improving, and
several large buyers have recently placed
their orders for coal for July and August
delivery. The tardiness of both dealers
in and consumers of anthracite in plac-
ing their orders for fall and winter sup
plies of anthracite this year indicates
that the trade will have very active
but short season after it gets fair start.
Notwithstanding the present quiet con-
dition of the coal business, the output of
anthracite continues large and the mar
kets continue to absorb all the newly
mined coal in some manner or other.
The line and city anthracite trade con-
tinues extremely dull, which is due to
two causes One is that farmers are now
busily engaged in harvesting their crops,
dual mining and shipping firms during
May sold large quantities of anthracite
in blocks of 1000 tons, to be delivered in
May, June and July at cut prices, and
until these orders have been filed and
are out of the way they will interfere
with the local trade.
The improved condition of the iron
industries and the recent advances in the
prices of both pig and manufactured iron
together with the excellent outlook,
have attracted the attention of the an
thraclte companies, who within the past
year have made large concessions in the
price OF furnace sizes of coal on account
OF the poor condition and low prices for
IRON which then prevailed The present
price OF Lehigh and Wyoming lump and
steamboat coal, the sizes used Dy iron
furnaces is S2O5@2.l0 per ton at the
breaker, and, besides getting their coal
at this low figure, the iron makers are
conceded low rate of tolls. The Schuyl-
XIII Valley furnaces pay only $1.S5 per
ton, and the shippers think that price is
entirely too low and are talking of
advancing the price to about So or 2.IO
on August l.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
July q, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was $40, ,962 tons
compared with 6S4, 800 tons in the CORES,
ponding week last year, a decrease of
43,932 tons. The total amount of an
thraclte mined thus far in the year 1889
was 10, 800, ,49l tons, compared with 49,
S42, ,7l4 tons for the same period last wear.

Holland, Jacksonville, Fla. j John Devlin,

country was offered the other night by
an incident at Bloomsbury, N. j. The
Lehigh Valley agent noticed Hun
walking on the track and accosted him.
When asked where he was going and
what his business was he produced a
card which stated his destination to be
Scranton. He also showed a ticket good
from New York to Scranton, issued on
Friday. The man managed to explain
that he was under the impression that
the ticket entitled him to walk on the
tracks between the two cities. The
agent detained him until the night ex-
press came along, put him on it and sent
him to Scranton. The Hun had walked
seventy-four miles with the ticket in his
pocket.

Christmas For All.

On Tuesday morning, December "a,
the eventualities of Christmas were in
stalled in a brutal manner. On the
principal thoroughfare, at an early
hour, almost in front of the court
house, a difficulty occurred resulting
in the death of one; and report has it
that Mr.. A. meeting G.. held out his
hand to him playfully, as he was about
passing, when G. dashed furiously at
him with villainous intent, whereupou,
instead of first running away that he
might live another day, A. ierked out
knife and cut G. just back of the
neck, producing almost instant death.
Another report has it that Mr.. A.
seeing G. on the sidewalk, and in front
of him, drew his knife, when g. took
in the situation at once and made the
attack. A. grabbed him (G.) by the
horn and slew him, leaving the car
ca8s of the poor goat upon the side
walk, as a reminder to passersby. that
we are all mortals in this mundane
