COAL TRADE IN GOOD SHAPE.
Claims Some of the Sanguine Ones
Are Making.

I'VE are rounding out the first quar-
ter of 1899 in good shape, so far as ton
mage of anthracite is concerned, and
there is a probability of an aggregate
tonnage for the year that may surprise
some people when we get a little further
along in the year." says the current
number of Saward's Coal Journal.
Some of the more sanguine are talk
ing of an output that will exceed any
thing yet done. and for the good of the
cause it is to be hoped they are not too
sanguine on this line.
They seem to be imbued with the
idea that everything else is on the boom
this year, so why not anthracite coal?
There are times in the year when a
check needs to be put on the product
i've capacity. which is in excess of the
market requirements even as placed by
the most optimistic. Such a time is
the next three months, and it will not
be wise to get on the high horse yet
awhile or he may throw US backward
into the mire of low prices again."
