branch OF the Red Cres Society IN
Elko. Other towns OF the STATE have
taken this work IN hand and Eiko

The anthracite coal trade presents little
change. The rigorous restriction to keep out
pu down to market requirements continues
aud the allotment for all the companies for
March has been xed at 2, 800, coo tons, the
same amount originally fixed for February,
although the actual February output was
about q 700, 600 tons. Comparatively few new
orders are being received, for the weather
continues generally mild and thus does not
promote additional consumption. There was
"a moderately cold wave last week in the
West, but it does not seem to have had much
effect beyond aiding in the better main,
tenance of prices at the leading Western
cities and imparting little more spirit to the
demand at Chicago. The scarcity of chest
nut coal is a feature in the trade, and this il
aiding the sale of pea coal.
