The past month has shown unusual activity
in the consuming market, owing to the short
period of cold weather. This came at time
when the retail yards had but small surplus
in stock. This, together with the natural
increase in household consumption, caused
heavier buying for both immediate and later
delivery.
The rapid movement of anthracite to the
consumers cellar has placed the market in a
healthier condition than for some time past
There are no large accumulations of coal at
any points, and since most of that which has
been moved has gone directly into consump-
ton, the retail yards have less in stock than
is usual at this time. Moreover, the temporary
difficulty in securing deliveries will lead
many dealers and consumers to purchase and
carry larger stocks than before, so that, un-
less an excess tonnage is thrown on the
market, there will be fair prospect for a
normal Spring buying movement.
The market is, and will continue, one
which is based most largely on weather
conditions, and consequently will be quickly
affected by any attempt to mine and sell more
than it can readily absorb.

Bogert, postmaster of Wilkesbarre, who
was arrested last Thursday, charged
with tampering with the mails in his
office, was given a hearing before Uni
ted States Commissioner Hahn last
evening United States District At
torncy Myers. of Pittsburg, represented
the government. The defendant was
represented by John 4. Lenahan, w. s.
Mclean and II. w. Wheaton.
Inspectors German and Gregory, OF
the postal department, testified that they
had been sent from Washington to inves-
tigate charges made against the man
agement of the Wilkesbarre postofIice
First they instructed the night clerks
In the Office to keep a watch on the
postmaster's movements, when he en-
tered the Office Mt night. Then they
posted decoy letters on railroad trains
sealing them carefully in the presence
Of the postal clerks. A third party di-
rected the letters. The inspectors fol-
lowed them up, German said he was on
a ladder overlooking the postmaster 4
private office. He swore he saw him on
two occasions re-scal letters on his desk.
On the second occasion he got a signal
from one of the clerks inside and they
entered. Going to BoEert's private Of
flee they saw the decoy letters on his
desk The letters were addressed 10
Liddon Flick Wilkesbarre. The in
spectors asked Bogert what he was do
ing with letters. He replied that he
thought they pertained to postofiice
business. Later he admitted that he had
opened the letters. Both the inspectors
swore that an examination showed the
letters had been opened. and re-sealed
with paste. The two night clerks tes-
tilted to having received the decoy let
ters and placed them in Flick's box. A
few minutes after Bogert entered the
office the letters were out of the box.
When TINS was discovered the signal
was given for the inspectors to enter the
Office Inc cross examination was Sc
ere, and the inspectors contradicted
themselves at times.
The defense offered no testimony, but
said they were ready to enter bail for
the United States court. The commits
sioner fixed bail at $4,000 which was
furnished. Counsel for the defense say
they can establish the fact at the trial
that a conspiracy was on foot to ruin
the postmaster.
