The anthracite coal trade is not in
satisfactory condition, and the continued
mild weather has had decidedly de-
pressing effect on the market for the
domestic sizes. New orders for coal, ex-
cepting for small quantities, are scarce,
and even those are accepted at prices
below the circular figures by many of the
individual operators, and it is reported
that some of the larger mining corpora
tions are not permitting orders to leave
their offices if some concession in price
will secure them. Many of the retail
dealers have their yards well stocked
with coal, and, having filled the bins of
their regular customers with sufficient
coal to last for the month or two, are now
dependent largely for sales upon the one
ton business, which is not active on ac-
count of the mild weather. At New
York buyers of anthracite go shopping
for coal, and the lowest bidder gets the
order. The average cut in the prices
for stove and broken there is about
40 cents per ton, and even this large
concession from the circular QUOTA
tions fails to induce purchasers to take
any more coal than their immediate re-
qulrements necessitate. In fact, the an
thracite business has again fallen into
such a state that nothing but protracted
cold weather is likely to stimulate it
very much. The demand for hard
coal from the West continues good,
but the mining and carrying companies
are reported to be monopolizing that
trade, the smaller individual operators
being unable to get cars to ship their
coal. The weekly output of anthracite
continues large, Notwithstanding the dull
condition of the trade, and while large
part of the production Is being forward
ed from the mines directly to market on
old contracts taken at low prices early in
the season, yet there is a considerable
quantity of coal being stocked at in
terror points and tidewater.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
November l, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was $50, ,304 tons,
compared with S42, ,525 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
7,779 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 80, 235, ,25 tons compared with 29, ,582-,
S51 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 347 ,596 tons.-Ledqer.

Who Can Tell ?

We are in receipt of a letter from a
gentleman residing near White Haven,
asking us if the old school house, that
stands between the Weatherly and Free
land roads, at Morrisons, belongs to the
Foster Township School Board Also,
that certain gentleman, living near the
building IN question, was engaged in
tearing it down.
The fact that the building has not been
used as school house for some time
past, does not go to show that it is not
still the property of the school Board.
In answer we would state that the
members of Foster Township School
Board are engaged in collecting statistics
as to how many lots they own, and
where these lots are located. Our own
knowledge, covering a period of six
years as a member of the Board, does
not warrant us in saying whether the
Board own the building or not. The
records of the Board gives no mention
of it from 1868 to the present time.
Can any OF our readers tell anything
about il?

Cormic Doran filed suit in the Pro-
thonotarys office, WilkesB Barre, Mon
day, which is singular in its nature.
Doran in his affidavit states that he was
burned by an explosion of gas in the
Smith shaft of the Hillman Vein Coal
Co. He engaged Ann O'Hara to treat
the burns, she guaranteeing cure for
$17.75, which Doran says was paid.
Doran said she failed to fulfill her prom
Use, and did the work in such bungling
manner that he was obliged to call in
other physicians to cure him. He suf-
fered greatly and lost much time in con-
sequence. He thinks, however, that a
verdict of $4,000 damages will be suiii
cient to cover the loss.

The Ticket Was Not Bogus.

We are requested by one of the gentle
men who attended the South Heberton
poll to state the following facts in con-
nection with the charge made that
there were bogus tickets peddled there.
The ticket was taken out of the box
without any knowledge on their part
that it was not correct; but on examina-
ton it was found to contain no county
slip, but had two state slips and one
Judiciary. If mistake was made it
was made at Wilkes-Barre and not by
the poll men, as they gave them out as
they took them from the box. There
was no intention to do wrong to any per-
son by them, and they regret that they
should be deemed guilty of wrong doing.
