Indications Arc the Trade win he as Ac-
tive m August nv July
The outlook for continued activity in the
anthracite coal trade is decidedly clearer than
IL has been any time this year. Rigid re-
strction for the first six months has reduced
stocks and the demand Cor coal is good
The indications are that the =. & r. G.. & l..
Co.. collieries, which resumed this morning.
will work the full week it sufficient ears can
be furnished at the mines The colieries
owned by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company, In the Panther Creek Valley, will
work six days week, commencing next Mon
day. This will be the FIRST time in almost two
years that the miners were promised full
time.
A shortage Of coal is reported in the north.
west Nearly every railroad entering Chicago
is more OF less crippled for want Of good
steam coal, and as consequence there is
much delay IN moving the heavy crops
The colleries in this district controlled by
the p. q r. c. & l. Co., worked 153 days in
July, three-quarter time. In the lower dis
trict they worked 10 days. On Friday 1886
cars were loaded at the various collieres o
the company, and it would have reached 2O0C
/ had they received sufficient cars.
] The outlook for August is very bright, and
| In coal circles it is given out that the present
month will be as active, if not more so, thar

an employe on the island to keep away from

some time, but finally allowed their boat

away from tine dam Frank Hepuer, boat
man, called out to them and warned them OF
their danger. They failed to pay any atten-
/ tion to him, and by the time they realized it
themselves they were unable TO row out
of the current and were swept over the falls
near the canal, where the water is deep.
