Companies Cannot be Compelled to Pro-
duoe Coal Mt Loss.


duoe Coat Mt Loss.
New York, March 26.-Current reports
that the anthracite coal-carrying rail-
roads had abandoned their assoca-
ton for the control and restriction of
the production of anthracite coal caus-
ed a good deal OF amusement among
railroad officials and others interested
in the anthracite coal business. There
never was such an association, but, as
several railroad officials said to-day
when questioned on the subject, the
sales-agents of the anthracite coal
roads have been accustomed to meet
and agree informally as to production,
so as to avoid as far SIS possible over
stocking the market, 1t has frequently
happened, however, that the market
has been overstocked in spite of the
agreement OF the sales-agents. ut Is
true" said one coal president to-day.
that these agents have not met since
January /, but the production of an
thracite coal has nevertheless been re-
stricted somewhat In that time. That
restriction was rendered necessary by
reason of the moderate weather which
generally prevailed this winter, and
the dullness in trade, which caused O
decreased demand from manufacturers.
There would be no more sense in pro-
ducing more coal than can be sold at a
profit than there would DE In any manu-
facturer producing his goods at q loss,
The anthracite coal companies are pur-
suing the even tenor of their way.
There is no law that I know of to
compel them to produce coal at q loss,
and do not think there is likely to
be yet awhile. The anthracite coal
companies have not abandoned their
association, for the simple reason that
there was no association to aban-
dom"

Tiic city sewers.

Mr.. Sykes. the engineer in charge Of
the city sewerage, says that as soon as
connection is made with the flush
tanks and some one is appointed TO
lo-tk after them that there is no reason
why the sewerage east of Court street
cannot be used right away, as there
will be no machinery required TO pump
them out; but the other portion of the
city he does not think can be used
before July or August. The contractor
for the electors and machinery or the
Ecwer house have six months from De-
cember /, 1895, to begin work III, II
he thinks hat they will hardly COM
mence before then. There will be 10
trouble working at that time. The YEA
