The coal trade is reported quiet with
a better demand for coal by dealers
from New England points than around
New York. This demand sprung up
some weeks ago and was largely in
duced by the chance for cheap freights
which presented itself, and the idea
that prices would go no lower. The
boats used at that time are now re-
turning and will be sent back full
Most of the coal is going INTO dealers
hands to provide the usual stock. but
dealers do not seem to be in a hurry
to stock up. The question of an ad-
vance June 1st brings out different
views. Some think the advance will
be made, while others are pretty cer-
tain no change will be made until
July l. 1t is the usual time for an
advance, but as the custom of issuing
a spring circular was not observed this
seems to have little bearing. The
production for June may be somewhat
in excess of that of May, fixed $780,
900 tons, but will probably be less than
100000. Production in May, 1897, Of
2,500,6 tons. as against 1925, 10 in 1896
and 3,7SS,945 in 1895. From January l
to May 31st production this year will
be 2700,000 less than last year and
$4,000 less than in 1895. A good au-
thority says that in his opinion the
coal companies are doing we'll to get a
good dollar back for an old one with

DANIEL MORGAN LOST.
He Wanders from Home and Is Found
on the Mountain.

The family of Daniel Morgan, a well
known resident of Terrace street, were
greatly alarmed on Thursday by his
disappearance. He has been an in
valid for several months, but left his
home for short walk in the morning.
AS the hours passed and he did not re-
turn much alarm was felt. Late in the
evening a party of seventeen started
for the mountain, but their search was
in vain.
Another party started IN a different
direction along the gravity track, and
so on to Salem mountain, But early
in the morning the welcome news was
received that John Dockerty, a miner,
had seen him in the neighborhood of
the Powderly mine. Daniel M. Davis
and Conner Morgan, taking a horse and
carriage, hastened to the locality, and
at 5 o'clock found him near the mine
on pile of culm. He seemed to be in
a dazed condition, but was persuaded
to return home. He evidently wan
dered upon Salem mountain and was
greatly exhausted. He is still in a very
excited state, and a constant watch is
kept over him.
Until four months ago Mr.. Morgan
was a most efficient workman, en-
ployed by the Delaware and Hudson
company; since that time he has been
under the physicians care. 1t is hoped
that he arrangement is only temporary.
