There is marked improvement
noted in the anthracite coal trade. There
is considerable inquiry for coal, and the
local demand has very materially in
creased during the past week. Egg coal
has become scarce for immediate de-
lievery, and stove and chestnut sizes are
now moving more actively than they
have been for several months past.
While there is considerable free burning
white ash coal being sold at a discount
from the circular prices, because of its
uncertain quality, yet the superior brands
of anthracite from well known collieries
are commanding figures very close to if
not the full circular prices. There is a
strong disposition on the part of the Le-
high and Schuylkill operators to advance
the prices for coal to the line and city
trade, and an increase of about 10 cents
per ton is looked for about the 10th
instant. The accumulated stocks of an
thracite at tidewater shipping points are
decreasing, and the Reading Company
has now less than 90,000 tons of all sizes
at Port Richmond, while month or two
ago it had over $50 900 tons stored there.
The Western trade is also Improving, and
the increased demand for chestnut, stove
and egg sizes from that quarter has re-
suited in prices for coal at the breaker
being advanced from 81 l.S0@$2 per ton to
S2@2.15. There is little new demand for
anthracite from the East, but there is
still considerable coal being shipped to
New England and Long Island Sound
ports on old contracts at the prices which
ruled prior to the last advance.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
August 80, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was S2l, ,444 tons,
compared with S65, l45 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, decrease of
43,701 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was21 1885, ,9S2 tons compared with 22, AGO.
40S tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of AGA ,426 ons.-Ledqer.

About one o'clock yesterday afternoon
the fire bell rang and in short time the
