THE COAL COMBINE.

| The Scranton Companies In and Others
May Be Acquired.
Now York, March 9.-The Evening
Post. referring to the rumorcd coal com
bination and J. Pierpont Morgau's con-
nection with it, says:
1.-The union of the Scranton coal COM
panies is believed to have been effected
through deposits of their stock with the
Guaranty Trust company, of this city.
The purchase of these companies is part
of comprehensive plan for control of
the anthracite output, and while it is
said that no more independent collicries
are at present the subject Of negotia-
tlon, vet it may be taken as assured that
the Scranton mines were first taken I'M
der control because of the dangerous pro-
portions which the proposed independent
anthracite line had assumed, and that
others will be taken if the projectors of
the plan for uniting the anthracite output
see any endangering of their plans for
maintaining prices on profitable basis.
'N'Negotiations are known to be in prog
ross with operators in other districts.
The much improved demand for anthra-
cite coal and the advance in prices make
it possible for the coal roads which own
large proportion of their colieries to
get the benefit of the improved situation.
If independent operation could come in
and cut prices some OF the railways
might feel compelled to meet the cut,
and then there would be no profit for
anybody in the industry.
