S369S tons, As the total amount re-
oelved during the past four months
from the colonies only foots up S3,2Ss
tons, II viii be clearly seen that the

more due this month from Sydney and
Newcastle. The total amount OF en-
gagged coal tonnage for here from the
colonies. afioa; and to load, will foot
up about 10000 tons capacity. A large
portion OF this cannot arrive in 1896.
Low prices still prevail, the lowest on
record, leaving a very small pittance
to the coal hewers. very nominal
amount for freight, and certainly no
profit to the importers; hence the

sirable article to handle in 1896 for all
except consumers,
our coast miners are immediate sut-
ferers from this local depression. and
they prudently are not forcing their
output on the market; they are aware
that these low quotations cannot con-
tinue, and they are awaiting an i'm
provement of values, when they will
again become liberal shippers. Cardiff |
coal frelghts are being advanced, and |
Australian must follow soon.-San
