THE COAL TRADE.
Advance Proof sheet OF JANUARY letter 0f
Anthracite Association.

During the past month there has been a
fair degree of activity in the market, owing
to the few days of cold weather The move
ment has been simply for immediate demand
as few Of the retail dealers were carrying
sufficient stock to enable them to meet even
a temporary pressure for deliveries. Owing
to the relatively small stocks being carried at
tide by the companies, and the pressure in
the transportation and delivery of other
merchandise, rush orders for immediate ship
ment were not filed so promptly as was
anticipated and there was the usual rumOr of
shortage in the supply. But this has not
affected prices which have remained practi-
cally the same throughout the month.
The conditions at the close of the month
arc wholly unsatisfactory. While there is
some talk Of an advance in prices in January,
everyone admits thatif anything of this kind
is attempted its results will appear on paper
alone and have no effect upon sales in the
market Indeed, it is questionable whether
any action which might be taken, even that
Of radically reducing the output, would have
any effect upon prices until after the Spring
months have been passed. While the market
cannot be said to be demOralized it is
thoroughly disorganized and whatever effort
is made to bring it into shape will be slow in
accomplishment.
What will be the outcome of the whispered
! plans for the better adjustment of these mat
ters cannot be foretod. Thus far they are
no more tangible than were those of last year
aud, unless they develop into something
which is unquestionably stable, they can
safely he disregarded 1t is true that the
various interests realize far more clearly than
ever before the urgent need of some con-
trolling plan, but there has been no revision
in either the scale of confidence which each
interest has in the other, or in the total alb
sence of all confidence in one particular in
terest and until these things are changed
no plan method or arrangement as to ton
mage and prices will be permanent.

From Mahanoy City American.
Hon. William A. Anderson, of New Boston,
has returned from his initial labors as a
representative at Harrisburg. While spend
ing few hours in town yesterday he is
quoted as saying that in his opinion Senator
Quay will fail of reelection to the United
States Senate. Under no circumstances
will he allow himself to be wheeled
into voting for the fox from Beaver
and in this stand he will have
the united support of his consti-
tuency. Would that as much could be
said for Senator John F. Higgins who plainly
foreshadOws how he stands in the coming
Senatorial fight by accepting two measley
clerkships as the price of his vote to be cast
for Quay in case of need, What do his Dem

pneumonia

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But so many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act Of that instinct of self
preservation which is 1.-THE first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago had a severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in wretched
condition. procured bottle of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end Of fifteen daysw as
as well and sound as before the attack !
have recommended It in many cases of pneu-
monia SINCE and have never known 1t to fail
in ettecting a cure"

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
The Local Democrats Preparing for the
February Election.

The Democrats Of town yesterday issued
an official notice, through the standing com
mittee, designating the time and place for
holding the party primaries which are fixed
for the 10Th lust So far there has been very
little interest manifested in the Spring
elections and candidates are slow in
making their announcements, so far
as both parties are concerned. In the First
ward Councilman Lally has been induced
to seek reelection. His friends point to his
record on Council as one that deserves en-
dOrsement at the hands Of his constituents.
Like all men in public position he has his
political enemies and will meet with opposi-
ton in the person of Thomas Tracy. The in
diCations are il will be a friendly and iu-
teresting contest Richard McHale, the
school teacher, will be candidate for Council
in the Fifth ward against the present mem
Der, Councilman Murphy. The latter is a
tower Of strength in that bailiwick and has
the workers with him. In the Fourth ward
it is said ex-Councilman Kerns will again
seek to regain his seat in the municipal body.
No candidates are so far announced in the
Second and Third wards on the Democratic
side, hut number of them will likely bob
up later.

Speaking of Democratic politics, and the
successful local leaders, brings to mind our
friend p. J Mulholland. His prominence in
the party S councils, in the borough county
and state, has naturally caused the enmity of
some ambitious party men who aspire to
leaders but that doesn't worry the genial p.
j He is not looking for personal gain.
Shenandoah has many Democratic leaders
who have won their spurs in many hard fights,
but among them all none deserve more at the
hands of the party than genial P. J. Mul-
holland. He has always contributed liber-
ally to. his party's success, while those who
bark at his heels are generally found sucking
the party teat In the recent distribution of
the lOaves and fishes, MulhOlland is given
large amount of the credit for landing
several nice plums for Shenandoah, notably
those of DR.. Monaghan Patrick Graham and
Mrs. Lambert as employees at the Almshouse.

and his advice is generally sought by men,
