The Anthracite Coal Trade.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The advance In prices ordered by the
anthracite companies on July has be-
come effective. Although dealers bought
with considerable freedom in June they
are nevertheless sending in orders at the
new circular, a sure sign that the retail
trade has started up in the large cities
The market holds very firm, although
some individual operators have u little
coal to sell below the new circular, and
mddlemen can supply little at slight
reduction yet.
The bulk of the coal being moved.
however, is on old orders, and while the
agreement was that such shipments
should close on July 10, some of the
companies will be unable to wind up be-
fore the end of the month. Between
this old business, the current now bust
ness and the shipments that will be
made to fill up the depleted stocks at
the shipping points and the dcpots in
New England the months production is
provided for.
The trade seems pretty thoroughly
convinced of the good faith of the pro
ducing companies, and place entire
credit in the announcement of II further
advance in prices on September |.
Dealers are buying against future wants;
they are anticipating tho fall trade
Appearances indicate, therefore, that in
the latter months of the year the de
mand will not be animated by the SNAP

You can imagine my surprise finding

BOUGHT THE CRUSHER.
The Famous Machine Is Now the Property
of Freeland Borough.

Council met in special session on Fri
day afternoon at o'clock for the pur-
pose of taking final action on the pur-
chase of the stone crusher. President
Rutter being absent, Mr.. Neuburger
was elected president pro ten. The
report of the committee was presented
in the form of an agreement signed by
the five councilmen and the agent of
the Climax Crusher Company, terms and
prices same as published in Thursdays S
| TRIBUNE. The secretary was instructed
to draw an order for $325 for the first
inStalment, and have the agreement
transcribed on the minutes. A jack, or
litter, for use in greasing the crusher
was also purchased ut Il cost of $l2, pay
mcnt to be made when bill is presented.
A motion that the freight on crossing
stones be paid, rs well as the cost of the
stones, was carried. The bill for sewer
pipes was held until the street commits
sioncr ascertain the number damaged.
A long discussion ensued in regard to
the grading and cleaning of alleys.
The matter was left with the st rect com
missioner.
Councilman Mcehan stated that much
criticism had been INDUCED in by per-
sons in the borough to the effect that
he and Councilman Zemany had the
sewer connections to their proper
ties made at the expense of the borough,
and requested the street commissioner
to make such explanation as he knew.
Commissioner Moore stated that no such
work was ever performed by him, or by
his authority. This explanation did not
fully suit Mr.. Mcehan, and the chair
man appointed Mcssrs. Brislin, Shigo
and Rutter to examine witnesses and
investigate the charges.
Complaint was made about water flow
ing over the property of Manus Bren-
nan on Centre street. 1t was referred
to the health officer.

York, refused to vote, and there were
many members of other delegations,
including such states as Connecticutt,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Is

the nomination.
The reason assigned for this action
was their disapproval of the platform
adopted. The straight-out declaration
for free coinage of silver at ratio OF 1G
