Anthracite Coal Trade.

The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal says: 1T looks now as though the
anthracite coal trade had safely round
cd the dangerous point in this season
course, and would have smoother water
and more favorable weather from now
on. The great demand for coal from
western points has relieved the press
IRE on the eastern market. that might
have become dangerous, and lett pro
ducers free to turn their attentions
east when the weather gets colder.
"The high lake freights continue
to hinder shipments up the lakes, not
withstanding that docks are not hllinS
I'D at receiving ports. NO DOUBT tar
more coal than usual will go forward
this winter by rail- The Indiana, IL
linois and Iowa trade can be thus sup
piled without trouble. The territory
that will suffer most is that north
west of Chicago, that is usually SUP
piled from Milwaukee, Green Bay and
Duluth, and in this region hard coal
will be decidedly higher than last Win
ter. and consumption may show an
actual falling Off.
"At tidewater points in the east
trade has not shown much improve
ment as yet. At interior points, how
ever, nights are now so cool that fires
are a necessity and dealers are stock
ing up literally. Everything indicates
liberal buying next month.
Quotations are unchanged, and ii
is stated as fact that actual selling
prices are getting closer to quotations
Talk of another 25-cent advance tc
take effect October is heard. The ad'
vance is doubted, but it may &c
through"
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-09-30

as at present. More than that many
of the carriers that have been lald OH
are off the road to stay.
An order has been issued in the west
that all coal cars found with weakened
end and side sills be condemned and
burned. 1t is the sill that gives way
under the strain of a heavy train and
causes disastrous wrecks. The cars or
coal companies and private corpora
tions seem to be suffering most ana
officials estimate that before next
spring i'm the Western Pennsylvania
coal district alone 1000 cars will have
| to be condemned. These dumps seem
to go to pieces all at once and are not
fit even for branch service after they
| leave the main line.
1t is said also that the "Pennsy" Will
| have to declare out of service during
, the winter thousands of cars and esti-
mates have placed the figures as high
as 5000. Forseeng this state of affairs
| the management has placed large or
ders for new carriers and will be able
to meet next seasons demands with
an almost perfect rolling stock equip,
ment.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-09-30
BIG Demand for Coal.

The Coal Trade Journal says this
week: There is beginning to be noted
signs of more demand for anthracite,
and the whole range of reports is of
that turn in events which has been ex-
pected wuold eventuate about this
time. There is going to be an activity
before long which will take up the
stocks of coal now held in first hands
in all parts of the country-and some
of these have been of considerable
magnitude-and thus put the producers
in very good humor.
1--WE can hardly look for any increase
in the circular, but surely there should
be an increase in the market price be-
yond what has been had by some pro-
ducers, and the averages of prices real
ized for the next three months should
show an advonce over those for the
third quarter of the year.
LAS to tonnage, it will be seen from
statistics that we are 100000 tons
ahead of last year in point of produc-
tion, and as the average monthly tom
mage for the last quarter of 1898 was
4,500,000 tons, we shall be doing very
well indeed If the same pace is con-
tinued this year. In view of all the
conditions, one may safely say that
from this time forward to the close Of
'99 there will be "a good time for the
anthracite coal industry in all its
branches.
Coal seems to get a back seat in
matter of transportation whenever
anything that pays better is in the
market, and we are having a lively eX-
perience of the truth of this well-worn
statement in all parts Of the country,
80 much so that cars are scarce on
lines that have made a great deal of
money out of the mineral traffic. This
has been partly true also of the in
terror water traffic.
"Under ordinary conditions the lake
carriers are engaged in carrying coal
from the east and west, and stocking
the great up-lake bunkers for the
winter supply, but this season they
have had more than they could do ia
haul other things, which contributed
more generally to the excheuuers of
the various companies"

Cars Are Going to Pieces.

Many persons are wondering at the
enormous orders now being placed by
all roads for steel box cars and box
cars of the ordinary variety. They are
not aware that the record breaking
traffic of the past six months has been
test too severe for the thousands of
wooden cars now in use all over the
country. They do not know that all
along the line of the Philadelphia and
Reading, and all other great railroad
systems Of the country the repair
tracks are crowded with "shopped'
freight cars and that the car repair
men have been working all summer
making overtime with increased forces
1t is a fact that there was never a
TINA in the history of railroading when
there were so many cars out of service

D., L. g. w. Mileage Books.

The new order recently issued by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company regarding mileage
books goes into effect today. Hereto
fore persons holding these books were
obliged to go to the ticket offices and
exchange their mileage for regular
tickets, but this method is now done
away with and the books are good on
any of the trains running on the main
line from New York to Buffalo and on
their various branch roads.
The books may also be used by any
one outside of the purchaser, which Is
q desirable feature to the purchaser.
