A Difference in the Forks.

stock law for that part of the Elev-

TIE law was to have gone into ef-

however, that it is only partially
in effect, Those who favored the
passage Of the law have their stock
up, while those who opposed it let
theirs run at large. There seems
to be no hope of a compromise.

THE PosTMAsTERHIP.-It NAV
be several weeks before Postmaster
Baldwin will step down and out to
give place to Captain J. N. Alexis
andeT. The Senate has not yet
acted upon Captain Alexander's
nomination, and il is understood
that it will not do so until the
nomination of the negro Dudley is
disposed Of. The reason Of this is
that Dudlcy's nomination was
made first, and so long as his NOM
inatiOn hangs FIRE III the Senate
just SO long will action be deferred
upon other nominations There is
no doubt about Captain Alexans
der's confirmation.
BAD RoADs.-There is much
cOmplaint about the condition of
the roads in some parts of the coun>

The Anthracite coal trade is improv-
ing. There is noted better inquiry for
coal, and the demand for the domesic
sizes is increasing. While there is no
special activity in the movement of coal
at present the outlook for increased
trade in the near future is encouraging,
and the anthracite shippers and ope-
rators are accordingly happy. The rep
resentatives of the leading producing
and carrying interests met at New York
on last Friday and agreed to advance the
circular prices for anthracite or tide
water shipment Is cents per ton for egg
and stove sizes and ten cents for chestnut,
to take effect on Monday. 1t was also
agreed to restrict the output of coal in
September to $3.50, 900 tons. While,th
circular prices for the line and city trade
were not advanced, it is understood that
there will be closer adherence in the
actual selling prices to the last circular
figures. This means that the dealers
will be asked and expected to pay about
10 to 15 cents per ton more for coal in
September than they have been obtain
ing it for the past month or two.
The Eastern trade is reported quiet,
and new orders for coal from that quar-
ter are not numerous. The Western
trade Is also improving, and there is a
better inquiry for some sizes of coal from
the lake distributing ports. The Chi
cago Coal Exchange has advanced prices
30 cents per ton, taking effect Monday.
Should there be much increased demand
from the West for anthracite shippers
will probably find some difficulty in OBJ
tanning cars promptly to forward their
coal.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August %, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 703, ,167 tons,
compared with 1893, ,7O3 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, decrease of
90,536 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was2l ia ,53S tons compared with 81 $780, :
263 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 420.725 tons.-Ledqer.

made to compel employers to have their
factories, workshops or mines closed.
The enforcing of the provisions of the
law is left with the workingmen them
selves, and for time, at least, they
must be content to allow it to take its
own course.
