The Coal Trade,

The Coal Trade.
Shipments of coal from the mines of
the Georges Greek coal region were
in long tons
For week ending April !, 1894. ....... 7s,s2l
Decrease compared with last year.... Isl, ,S9l
The latest news from the markets is
CLEANED as follows:
very poor trade is doing in soft coal and
the present very low prices do not seem to
increase the volume of business. The shippers
haye orders on their books for shipment and
the outlook for more business is not good for
the immediate future. The new reduced rail
road tariffs for ocean shipment went into
effect on April lst on all through lines. Some
trade was delayed in shipment during the
last week of March until after April lst to
take advantage of this reduction, but the
consumers IN many instances had not taken
their coal until imperatiyely demanded by
their immediate wants and were not able to
delay the shipment the necessary few days
for this purpose; therefore the volume delay
ed was not as large as it usually would have
been. All producers seem to have taken the
iiilOulll VI tle TcullCtlOD lllut DOtu tIt Tdll-
roads and the miners have made on their
prices, giving the consumer the entire benefit
of these reductions.
There is considerable number of cars on
the way from mines to tidewater, but all
mines are curtaling their shipments, thus
preventing any blockades on the main line
of roads.

able coal standing at shipping ports but the
limited production allows them to dispose of
the coal now standing in time to prevent an
increase of the stocks at tidcwater.
On account of the small quantity of coal
being shipped, vessels are getting very good
dispatch in loading, and the discharge at the
receiving ports is reported good for the same
reason.
A number of contracts have been made in
New England during the past week at prices
ranging from So to S3.l5. How low these
figures are can be gathered from the knowl-
edge that the lowest price which was bid on
the Boston ferry contract at the beginning of
the season was 1915, and this was then re-
garded by the trade as being as low as could
be reached. The practice of naming along
side and delivered prices seems to prevail this
year more than last, presumably on account
of the bad condition of the trade. From the
prices named very low ocean freights for the
season must have been calculated upon.
Some of the large consumers when approach
ed by statesmen about the placing of their
contracts have stated that on account of their
poor business they would not contract at all
this year, but would buy their supplies from
time to time as requirements called for.
The vessel market is almost in as bad
condition as the soft coal trade, and many
vessel owners are threatening to put their
vessels out of commission if rates fall much
further. Engineering and Mining Jouraai.

Sustained.

Several years ago in notable con-
troversy the JOURNAL held that a judge
is not bound to give reason or reasons
for his rulings.
This was stoutly denied.
The circumstance is recalled by the
following quotation from the recent
bout in the House of Representatives
between Speaker Crisp and ex- Speaker
Reed
Mr.. Lynch made the point of order that the
House was operating under a special order,
and that under that order no intervening
motion was in order. Speaker Crisp, after a
statement of the parliamentary situation, sus
tained the point of order.
Il appeal from the decision of the chair" ="
said Mr.. PAYNE.
The chair declines to entertain the appeal"
said the Speaker
"On what ground ~ asked Mr.. Reed
THE chair declines to state the grounds of
his decision," said the Speaker "The chair
desires to state he said, with sharp rap of
the gravel, turning and squarely facing Mr.
Reed, that in parliamentary body no mem
Der has right to inquire upon what grounds
the chair makes decision anv more than a
lawyer has to demand the grounds upon
which a judge makes a decision in Il court of
justice. The chair has the privilege of giving
his reasons if he SO desires, but no member
has Il right to demand them
This sustains the Journal
Moreover. if the Speakers dictmm be

and we do not doubt it, what obligation
rests upon business man to give a
discharged employee reasons for dis
charge, if he thinks it best to withhold

UNITY CLUB.

Mr.. and Mrs. Smllax were enjoying
a quiet evening at home. IL was Il
stormy night and no callers were ex-
pected to brave the inclemencV o. the
weather. Mr.. Smiax was reading the
evening papers and it took Il good part
Of the evening to get through the cum
bersome sheets, decora ed as some of
them were, like mammoth mother goose
primers.
Mrs. Smilay his been usually quiet
and absorbed in one of the magazines
that contained an article by Mark
Twain on the marvellous subject, "Trans

his personal experience of writing let

in answer to the topics he had writ Ell
about.
Mrs. Snilax concluded tha7 if Mark
Twain believed III his possibilities there
must be something i'll i, and she made
up her mind to experiment with the
theory the frs opportunity.
Mr.. Smilax suddenly in 'errupted her

heard good joke that day about Has

large masquerade party, given by an
infinite friend, and they hld proposed

TIE .SKITTISU DOCTOR.

DR.. S. was no. ed among his profess
ional brethern for his power of concen-
trat;on. When once he bent his mind
to a problem he become totally obliy-
ious of everything about him.
The doctor had horse which was
almost as famous as himself. Among
her peculiarities was the habit of shy
ing. She would not shy at things
which most horses consider fit subjects
for that sort of depression. She would
pay no attention whatever to d newspa-
per plowing about the streets, but was
mortallv afraid Of covered wagon. At
the sight of one Of New Haven SUD-
urban Stage she would run over the
curb stone and threaten not only the
doctors life, but that of the chance
passer. OF this habit she could not be
broken. 1t seemed as though she could
smell stage long before it came in
sight, so the doctor would go half a
dozen blocks out of his way rather than
meet one. Earl y one morning he re-
ceiyed IL telephone call to the effect that
one of his patients had become alarm
ingly worse. Without waiting for his
carriage. he started to walk. the dis
tance being about one mile. His mind
became at once absorbed in the case,
but not 50 much so that he did not re-
member that the course Of the Seymour
Stage lay right in his path. He looked
at his watch and saw that he would be
SURE to meet it if he went The shortest
way. he was in a hurry to get to his
pa lent but there was no help for it.
He uttered malediction over the cir
cumstances and turned off at the first
corner. This obliged him to nearly
double the distance, and the day was
warm He walked as he never walked
before, and failed to recognize Il couple
of intlmate friends whom he nearly ran
over.
1t was not until he had spent two
hours with his patien+, and came out
to look for his horse, that he began to
realize that he had walked Il mile out
of his way so that he need not shy al
the Seymour stage.-Hoper's .Noya-

She selected her favorite dishes, the
same order that she had given the
evening before. Mrs. Smilax had tax
Ell off her veil, and removed her long
cloak, she sat down facing the clock
and the door, wondering how long the
lunch would be delayed by unforeseen
circumstances. AS it happened Mr..
smilax was only five minutes late.
AS he entered the door with a look
directed to the tables by the windows,
his surprise can better be imagined than
described when he found his wife seat
ed at the table apparently occupied in
scanning the newspaper, when he bad
every reason to suppose her to be sixty
miles away, engaged just at this time
with the intent to control him by her
thought transference kill.
AS he recovered from his astonish-
mert, he exclaimed, YOU must have been
that woman in black who occupied the
seat in the car with me, and the joke
of it is | asked the brakeman when
passing off the car, if he knew who that
lady in black was. who was sitting with
me. He said no, bnt he supposed it
was some woman taking trip on the
sly. Another case of mind reading ex-
claimed Mrs Smilax. As the the lunch
was arranged upon the table, Mr.. Smi-
lax took the sealed envelope from his
pocket, opened it to compare notes.
Oysters in the shell, salad, coffee and
rolls. It was all there.
Another proof Of mind power she ex-
claimed. While they were finishing
their lunch Mrs. Smilax remarked,
don't you think it was stupid of you,
that you did not in any way recognize
my pres nee this morning? Well, I did
have strong curiosity about you, but
my politeness dulled my perception,
and that explanation ought to crafty
you. Well my dear if you have enjoy
ed this surprise in having my company
to lunch as much as you did the joke
of our friend Haskell's stupidity In not
recognizing his wife at the masquerade
would ike to have you help me Sc
lect my travelling suit for thar journey
that we have decided upon, and We
shall have ample time left 10 get home
to tea.
The travelling salt was ordered and
the Journey enjoyed.
