The Coal Trade.

Shipments of coal from the mines of
the Georges Creek coal region were
in long tons
For week ending July IA, 1894. lO3, 533
" year to same date. ..............l, 559, III
Decrease compared with last year,. 600, 46S
The latest news from the markets is
CLEANED as follows:
The demand for soft coal of course is much
greater than the supply, and all sorts of
efforts are made by outside parties to get
prompt shipments of coal to themselves, but
the companies are filling the orders III
regular rotation as filed for precedence
Some of the companies which are working
felt obliged to buy some outside Goals at a
slight advance over the figure ruling before
the strike. The demand is very generally
distributed over the territory usually covered,
though the trade east of Cape Cod is reported
dull. However, orders seem to be forthconi-
ing from that district and it looks as if the
trade this side of the Cape would be more
staple and that it may last over until the
usual fall trade commences, and with it the
laying in of winter supplies. 1t would how.
ever, not surprise the trade fa short period
of dullness should occur between the end of
the present demand and the beginning of the
usual fall business.
Prices remain about the same as reported
shipping ports. All-rail trade is taking
great deal of coal. Some of the consignees at
their receiving ports are suffering to some
extent from the contiscatIon of coal by the
railroads over which they ship, thus losing a
part of the benefits of their first shipments.
However, it is anticipated that this will soon
straighten itself out. There are still some
complaints at the mines of not being able to
get the work out of the miners and horses that
they did before the strike.
Beech Creek and Clearfield are the only
regions that have men still on strike; only
portions at these regions are working. 1t is
difficult to see what these men expect to gain
from their prolonged strike, as the operators
of the mines which are out can buy coal in
the regular market at but Il slight advance
over the contract rate.
AT Boston the situation III bituminolls is
much more satisfactory to both the con-
sumner and shipper. There is no great
scarcity at present, although stocks here are
still light, yet not to that extent where CON
sumers must mix pea and dust and buck
wheat with their bituminous to make their
coal supplies sufficient. Most of the supplies
coming forward go to those who have con-
tracts for ii years supplies. Very little coal
is put on the open market. What little there
is put upon the parket sells in the vicinity
of 81 per ton. If the mills and foundres of
New ENGLAND were running as they were a
year ago, conditions might be different

Only These.

The special from Washington concerning
the action of the conference committee with
reference to the duty on coal is from a per-
fectly reliable source, and we feel confident
now that the danger of having coal placed on
the free list is past. The saving of this much
from the greed of the free trade radicals is
due to the tirmness with which the repub-
licans of the Senate and House have stood up
for protection to bituminous coal.-Cumber-
land NenS.
If that 'tirmness' were worth any,
thing more than the paper it is written
on. coal would have been saved any
disturbance whatever.
But the men who really "stood up
for protection to bituminous coal" are
Arthur P. German and Charles James
Faulkner.
In these men only on the coal ques-
ton in Congress does "wisdom seem
justified of her children"
Only these seem to know that coal
is not raw material that can be
developed.
Only these seem to know that coal
is a raw material only for annihlation.
Only these seem to know that free
coal "benefits the manufacturer with
out reducing its cost to the domestic
consumer"
Had these men enjoyed the real
sympathy and aid Of their republican
colleagues coal could have been kept
at the level where John Richie saved
it in 1872.

The Extent of 1t.

Some people seem to believe that the
high protectionists of New England
do not want free COAL
But they should read the Boston
(Mass.) Transcript, an organ that learn
ed Its lessons in the Webster and CLAY
school from 1880 up:
What avails conference in which all the
concessions are on one side? Let the House
members stand firm at least on free coal, and
permit the Senate ''pirates," as they are call
ed, to defeat all tariff legislation this session,
if they dare.
1t is very plain to partisan eyes
that the New Highlander wants dutiable
coal only so far as dutiable coal will
put democracy in a hole.

GENERAL ITEMS.
Farmers Cannot Get Helm

Farmers are taking other notions
of the clamor IN politics about the
laboring man. Nearly half of our
entire population are farmers. They
offer good homes. good wages and
steady employment, and yet they find
the greatest difficulty in getting help
For years these farmers have patriotic
ally voted for II policy not in their
own interest. They are beginning to
tire of it. They more fully under
stand that many parties referred to
rs laboring men do not simply seek
work, but to work when they will &.
The farmers, who are the most numer-
Gus class, and whose industry is the
most important in this country, are
not asking for legislation in their own
interest, but they do ask, or will soon
ask to hear less about the misfortunes
of those who cannot get work. while
they desire most Of all to find those
who will work. and cannot find them.

Many calm thinkers regard these symptoms
