cords the presence of flames A.
Millholland, president of the Georges
Creek and Cumberland Railroad Com
pany, at the Rennert.'
Continuing, it says:
Before the road, of which he is now presi-
dent, was built Mr.. Milholand held an i'm
portant executive position with the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania railroad company.
He is a thorough railroad man and has risen
to his present position entirely because of his
recognized fitness for the place. The road
over whose affairs he presides is for its
length one of the most picturesque in the
country. Whenever a church conference or
an assemblage Of strangers meets in Cumber-
land it IS the custom of Mr.. MiIholland to
place at their disposal without cost II special
train over the Georges Creek and Cumber-
land railroad so that its beauties may be en-
joyed by the visitors.
All this is just, and more could have
been stated of this versatile gentleman,
employing the term, versatile" in its
best sense. He yields a trenchant,
polished pen, and it is wonder he
does not oftener indulge his accom-
plishments as a writer.

The Coal Trade.

The latest news from the markets i S
CLEANED as follows:
There is a somewhat better feeling in the
bituminous coal market, due to the improve.
ment in the demand. Trade is brsker than
last week and more coal is moving. The
most noticeable feature of the situation is the
break of 10 cents in sea freghts to Scum Il
ports. This has long been waited for, and
shippers are availing themselves of it. A
large amount of coal is certainly needed for
this section, as freights thereto from shipping
ports have been SIMPLY prohibitory for nearly
two months past. The demand for coal from
the more northern ports continues, and
vessels for that section are in good supply at
reasonable rates.
At Boston trade in bitumnous is still very
quiet and without features of interest. On
cars there Cumberland is bringing 1926

Bituminous coal continues in plentiful sup
ply in all the markets. Any evil effects of
the strike appear to have been overcome, and
we hear of sales at prices less than the quota
tons of six months ago. This coal is mined
and sold at less price, either at the mines or
place of delivery, than in any other country.
This being the case, the manufacturers and
general steam users should have no fault to
find so far as this item in their account is
concerned. Coal Trade JOuiW0.
