STATE OF THE COAL TRADE.
Has Again Become Unsettled Owing to
Unrestricted Production.

Unrestricted Production.
"The anthracite coal trade has again
become somewhat unsettled, owing to
the continued unrestricted production
of coal and the fair weather of the past
month";" says the Philadelphia Ledger.
"The month of November ends the fis-
cal year Of the Reading and several
other of the anthracite mining and
carrying companies, and they have
been actively engaged during the past
month in making all the tonnage pos
sible, so that their records for produc-
tIon would not suffer in comparison
with their competitors.
Notwithstanding the recent advances
made in the prices for anthracite. the
average prices actually received for the
past month have been but little higher
than those of September. but this is
owing to the large orders booked for
coal sold in anticipation of the In
creased prices before they were put
into effect. There is still large ton
mage to be shipped at the August and
September quotations, and 1t Is only
the d-to-mouth' sales for which
the November circular prices for an
thracite are obtained. and that too only
at non competitive points.
The prices at present may be termed
weak. but tidewater buyers and deal
ers on the line trade can, If they know
how to buy close, obtain concessions

Three of them had masks on. He rec
ognized Van Dyke, who had no cover
ing on his face. They bound him hand

the same to his wife.
After going through these operations
they demanded money, and on being

they asked for valuables. Mrs. Coch-
