Vice President Hartshorne, of the IIe-

The United States geological survey has
issued u report on the production of coal
in 1894. The total product was 17OS530S5
short tons of 20CO pounds valued at $780,
5i,GW, a decrease for the year Of II i99,639
short tons, or more than 6 per cent, and a
decrease of S22 1854 ,092 in value. a decline
in prices is shown in almost every state,
the general average for all Goals declining
from Sl.li to $l09 a ton during the year.
In Pennsylvania the product of anthracite
decreased almost 100000 tons. The out
put of bituminous coal in that state was
299l2, iG3 tons. valued at $29,i79,s20
Ex-Chief Justice Edward NJ. Paxson,
one of the Reading receivers, when asked
about the New York story of a new coal
trade combination, stated that he had no
knowledge of the formation of such a
combination. "A great deal of Reading
stock has been bought up lately" he said,
''and no one seems to know for whom 1t
has been purchased. That is the only cir
cumstanca that know of that could as
socate with such scheme. But If any
syndicate has secured control of the road
which will be willing to eXpend the $25.-
100000 necessary to put it on firm basis
we will be very glad indeed to see such a
desirable end accomplished"
The agreement for April called for q

Notwithstanding this, actual production
last month was 3, 1922 tons, or 639 122 tons
more than agreed upon, and Sl4 tons in
excess of production in the same month
last year. The Lehigh region seemed to be
the only one which restricted the out
put, as its increase over April, 1894, was
only 1852 tons, while the Wyoming in

Forks We're employed on the continent in
the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries;

show than on account of the actual SER
vice they were to perform. They were not
brought into England until after the
reign of Queen Elizabeth and that gentle
monarch, like her contemporaries COM
monty ate with her fingers. In this she
followed the practice all over Europe back
to the earliest times.
The Romans and Greeks ate with their
fingers, and one writer of the former ma
tion gives a comical story of a glutton Of
his day, who, when he went to a feast,
always wore gloves, that he might have
| the first chance at the meat before it was
| cool enough for the other guests to touch
1t with their bare fingers. Two-pronged
forks were made'at Sheffield in 1908. Three
pronged forks We're manufactured in
England and on the Continent in 1850, and
silver forks did not come, either in Eng
| land or in France, until 1874 A bronze
| fork was picked up at Kouyunjk. in AS
syria, in 1873: it was believed to date from
| 100 or 1900 B. c. A flesh-hook of sthree
| teeth is mentioned in the Bible, Samuel
xi, 49, about 1865 B. c., but this was not a
| fork in our sense of the word, but a hook
| used to draw the boiled meat from the

THE world OF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 1S.-The reports or
new combination of the Vanderbilt
Morgan-First National bank interests
to control the anthracite coal situation
and incidentally the Reading property
led to an upward movement in those
stocks today, advancing from "a to rs.
The buoyancy of the coalers induced
liberal buying of sugar and Louisville.
and prices advanced anywhere from a
to ~. In the last hour the anthracite
coalers lost all their early gain on
official denials that the Vandecbilts
were interested in the efforts making
to secure the control of the Reading
property. The market closed weak, ana
9ta% lower on the day. Total sales were
2i4,0O shares.
