BUSINESS BREvlTlES.

THE COAL TRADE.-The president
of one of the anthracite companies said
yesterday, says the Phi a 1elphia Times,
that the coal trade has drifted more or
less into O position where there Is prac-
tically duel between the buyers and
the sales agents. Buyers Of coal are
trying to starve the sales agents into
cutting prices a little, and as a result
very little coal is being sold. The sa es
agents, however, are firm on the point
and insist on the full circular. There
Is no sign of weakness on their part,
and as stocks Of coal in second hands
are known to be small, the result will
be that buyers will have to come to
time and pay the full circular. The
gentleman quoted says that 1t must be
distinctly understood that there is no
trust or combination. The only thing
10 that the railroads are agreed on the
point that II Is no use making prices
unless the prices are maintained, and
as the prices are extremely low. 1t Is
to the interest of everybody to MAIN
tain them.
SHORTER NOTES:
Railroads use a third Of England's
coal.
England leads In champagne con-
sumption.
Our coal fields cover 100000 square
miles.
The world consumes 10000 tons Of
currants a year.
The fastest rain in France makes sex
miles an hour between Paris ard Lille.
Street railway rails In Memphis,
Tenn, are being welded together with
molten steel.
The grandfather of the Rothschilds
Is said to have scarcely owned q penny
in 1900.
The whole of the spinning and weav-
Ing machinery for India comes from
Great Britain, and will no doubt con-
tinue to do so for years to come.
Switzerland proposes to have state
match monopoly. not for profit, but
aiming at the suppression of the phos-
phorus match. 1t Is dangerous to work
with phosphorus, and the disease re-
sulting is as horrible as leprosy
John Burns proposes to have a law
passed by parliament making it COM
pulsory for employers to give domestic
servants "a character" on dismissal
Laws to that effect have long been In
force in France and Germany.
The two biggest fire engines in the
world are in Liverpool. These magnifl-
cent specimens Of workmanship are the
most powerful fire engines known,
throwing 1900 gallons of water a min
ute and a jet 140 feet high.
The agent Of the big Rome (Ga.)
cotton mills says coal costs there $1.75
to Sl.S5 a ton, against $3.50 to $L75 a
ton in Lowell; that wages ar 2j per cent
less. but that they will buy as much,
owing to cheap rent, fuel and food.

Bring flowers once again,
And strew with fragrant rain

The dwellings Of our dead.

The LAWYERS Retainer.

A criminal lawyer in Chicago. who is
noted for his faculty In acquitting any
prisoner In whose defense he may be en-
ployed. without much regard to the char
acter Of the evidence, is In great demand.
particularly among those who feel that
their cases may be precarious. He received
a letter the other day from prisoner in
the county Jail. 1t related that the writ.
er had been arrested for horse-stealing and
was indicted at the last session of the
grand jury. 1t declared that the writer
had little hope of acquittal unless good
talent could be enlisted In his behalf, and
he begged the lawyer addressed to take
the case. Then came the pathetic part Of
tn letter. .s
II have no money" the writer said, "to
pay for legal services. and very little
property. But the horse Is good family
driving horse; II can do a mile In 2.36, and
10 gentle enough for any lady to use. III
give you the horse II youll take UP the
case"
