vance. All the birmingham furnace
companies have advanced prices in ac-
cordance with the Tennessee company's
schedule.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says a to-
sally wrong account of last weeks
nesting of the sales agents was spread
abroad. The conference, 1t adds, far
from being harmonious, was on the
verge Of adjourning sine die more than
once. and the so-cailed agreement to
mine 2.SOO,00O tons and maintain prices
was not unanimous. and was voted
against the protest of ore prominent
interest. But more important mat
ter than this Is the failure OF the effort
thai5 was made to harmonize trade difil-
culties for the present. The dull season
In the trade Is now over, and the active
season Is at hand. No matter what the
final disposition of the percentage qlIes-
tlon may be, there Is no reason why the
companies should not get fair price
for coal during the active months OF
the year-in fact, an advance Of 80
cents might be made. 1t IL reported
that one sales agent went to the meet
Ing with a plan for a ''modus vivendi'
providing for the regulation of tonnage
and prices for the balance of the year.
1t was strongly supported. But the
attitude of the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western representative was so
aggressive that the cchcme did not
even obtain "a hearing. This opposl-
tion from the vlce-presldcnt of the
strongest coal-carryil.g road Is in the
highest degree Significant, for 1t was
evidently taken in pursuance of in
structiom' from the directors. With
this strong company fighting anything
that looks like harmony, the other
strong conIpaudGs indifferent, ard only
one or two that see the sheriff loom
Ing up In the distance at all anxious
FOR peace. the outlook is decidedly un-
promising. One-half the year is gone
and the companc9 have made little
profit, although the tonnage has been
large: the active trade season is APP
