The anthracite operators appear TO think
that 1000, 600 tons will meet the market re-
quirements for the month of August and in
this they are not likely to be disappointed
There is no change in the price list at tide
water, nor at the west, but there may be some
slight change in what is knownas the line
trade price between the mines and tide-water.
The market can hardly be called active at
present, and the business which has been done
has largely been that of filling orders which
has been carried over. The main thing
which bothersj just at present. is the fact that all
the retailers of any financial standing at all
have pretty full stocks, and the coal does not
move with any degree of activity from the
yards to the ultimate consumer, who is appar-
emily Of the impression that rates will be no
higher some time hence than they are Mt pres
ent, and there is therefore no necessity for
haste on his part in giving his rider. From
all that can be gathered from the reports OF
trade condition, the anthracite producers
should exercise their wisest Judgment and
keep the output dow for the next six
weeks.-Sawards Coal Trade Journal.

same informant states that it was the
general belief in Tacoma at the time
of the alleged runaway that Mrs. Al
sop, who was known to have lived a
most unhappy life with her husband,
had met with foul play rather than
accidental death. 1t was public talk
and a brother of the woman came out
from the East after her death and
wanted an investigation but was dis
suaded from his purpose by friends of

east of Wa-Keeney, and engaged in
the sheep business, trading fine i'm
ported stallion to Charles Gibbs for a
bunch of sheep. The hard winter of
