Weekly Coal Report.

The anthracite markets both in the
East and West are reported quiet, and
little activity is expected until after the
4th of July. There is considerable coal
being moved on orders placed during
April and May at the then ruling prices,
but there is not great deal of new ksilsi-
ness doing at the June circular figures.
Some of the individual operators report
they have recently been booking many
orders for the saleable sizes at satisfac.
tory prices, but the larger companies are
asking the net June circular prices, and
while some of them are accepting con-
tracts at prices closely approximating
these figures, others are declining orders
for immediate delivery at less than the
full net prices. The general sales agents
of the anthracite corporations will meet
on Tuesday to agree upon the quantity
OF coal to be mined in the month of July
and to increase the selling prices if pos
sible.
The Financial Chronicle of Saturday
publishes the following review of the
situation of the anthracite trade:
Evidence multiplies that the anthracite
coal trade is getting into very much better
shape. In our statement of net earnings
for the month of April the group of coal
roads show larger percentage of gain
than any other. And the figures for pro-
duction, stocks, &C., for the month of
May, which has just been published by
Mr.. John III. Jones, the Chief of the
Bureau of Anthracite Coal Statistics, are
also very favorable in their nature. In
the first place, there has been a further
reduction in stocks at tidewater shipping
points, reducing the amount to 7l9,939
inst L. II Hrn
107 tons) on January l. With this re-
duction tldewater stocks now stand lower
than at the corresponding date of any
recent year. Thus while the present
total is 719,939 tons, on June l, 1889. it
was 962, ,066 tons; on June l, 1888, 81, ,425
tons, and on June 1, 1887, it was 754, POS
tons. 1t it is also well to note that the
months production was in excess of the
corresponding month of other wears.
The allotment for the month was greatly
exceeded, and hence the output is so, ,O20
tons above the heavy output of May, 1889.
But, as stocks were diminished notwith-
standing the increased production, it is
evident that the consumption, or rather
the amount of coal passing out of the
hands OF the producers, was on large
scale. In point of fact, the consumption
was nearly 0,00O tons greater than in
the same month last year, which, of
course, is an especially satisfactory feat
ure, as it indicates that consumers and
retail dealers are laying in supplies and
repleshing stocks under the inducement
of the prevailing prices.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
June 14th, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was S23,415 tons,
compared with 734, ,553 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, an increase of
SS,S62 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was II, ,669, ,4S6 tons compared with IL, $685.
BOB tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 1S6. .057 tons.-Ledqer.

Guilty of murder in the first degree"
was the verdict of the jury in the case of
George w. Moss, the wife murderer of
Wilkes-Barre. This case was commenced
on Thursday last and continued until
saturday evening, when it was given to
the jury who rendered the above verdict
on Sunday morning. The murder with
which Moss was charged was committed
last October. Some time before the
shooting he had been arrested and sent
to Jail for abusing his wife. On being
released from Jail he purchased revolver
and, in order to get revenge for being
placed in Jail, went to his home with the
intent of killing his wife and then
himself, but was unsuccessful in the lat
ter part. Strenuous efforts were made
by the counsel for the defendent to save
his life on the plea of insanity, but this
was regarded of little weight The prin-
cipal witnesses against the defendent
were his own immediate family, who
were present at the time of the shooting.
The prisoner has not yet been sentenced.

About 800 enthusiastic base ball ad-
mirers congregated at the park on Sun
day afternoon to witness the contest be-
tween the Freeland and the Mahanoy
City Clubs, which resulted in the for
mer's favor by score of IA toS. Welch
was in the points for the home team and
was batted pretty hard in the first couple
of innings, but was effective in all others,
and he was well supported both in the
out and infield. Badans pitched for the
visiting club, and he was not hit as hard
as the home team would have liked,
some of them trying with all their power
to lose the sphere. The most notable
features of the afternoon were the terrific
batting of the home team and the base
running of the visiting club, who ran
them like deers, taking all chances. P.
Boyle and McGarvey did some memoir
able work with the stick.
The game started at o'clock and
was one of seven innings, the Mahanoy
Club being compelled to stop in order to
be in time for the train, which leaves
here at 3.45 p. m. for that place.
