SUMMARY OF THE MARKETS.
THE COAL TRADE.

The private circular of l. Steuart gives the re-
ceipts of Coal at this port during the first four
months of 1897 at 43O, 100 tons. against 451, 200
TONS In 1896 and says: "The deliveries of Coal in
port from the various sources OF supply during the
month have been about an average quantity with
the execution of English Anthracite. OF which
there have been no arrivals for the past 81 days
SOCKS of this Coal extremely low, and as
there is only one vessel nearly due, supplies must
continue very limited for some time TO come
Prices of all kinds OF foreign Coal are fully main
tanned and Will probably continue TO be So as the
outward grain freights ruling are not such as 10
tempt Coal tonnage to seek this port"
