Increase compared with last year. >. 80, 1877
The following notes are taken from
the Engineering and Mining Jomnal:
In the Atlantic seaboard soft coal trade
there is little change since last week it is
dull, and orders are scarce with all producers
Most consumersar using their winter supply,
and are content to reduce that to n,otin.,t,,,
this mild weather before ordering new lot
AT this time of the year there is generally
dull spell from ice and weather causes, but
the present dizziness seems to come from
stagnation. There are, of course some few
orders being received, which keep the mines
running on short time. These come mostly
from people VINO do not have to put in
winter supply, but who rely upon getting
coal even in the most severe weather. and
who generally lack storage room There
seem to be a few contracts in the market in
the far East, which Is very early in the
season, but these may drag along for weeks
before being placed. On regular business the
far East is more than usually dull and the
Sound demand seems to have fallen off to
much under the normal, and what there is
OF it is somewhat cratic.
New York harbor trade is quiet, and all
rail business, although keeping up fairly well,
