The cause Of the slack times at the
coal mines out the Cleveland, Lorain
& Wheeling railroad is said to be
found in the plethoric condition of the
company's yards on the upper division.
Previous to the Pittsburg convention
when all coal interests were apprehen-
sive of a management between the
operators and the miners association,
the c., L. & w. road, along with others,
stored a great deal of coal at different
points and now that all danger of an
emergency has happily passed this ac-
emulation of the fuel will be worked
off before the mines are called upon
to supply more. But this is a slack
time for operators any way dependent
upon the lake market, and very much
better conditions can hardly be ex-
pected to develop before April /. In
that month there is considerable load
ing down at lake ports, but insurance
upon navigation does not go into effect
until May 1.

WEST VIRGINIA COAL
May Meet an Obstacle in New Freight
.arifS.
RIVALRY BETWEEN OHIO AND
WEST VIRGINIA PRODUCT HAS
REACHED AN ACUTE STAGE
AND RAILROADS MAY COME TO
THE RESCUE OF THE FORMER.
OTHER INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

A gentleman thoroughly conversant
with the coal business and who pos
sesses long-range business acumen
was in the city yesterday and in con-
v%ersation with a Register reporter
made some interesting observations
upon the outlook for the big railroad
mines in this vicinity.
Il think you can look for more activ-
ity in Ohio mines this season than for
many years." he said, land l base my
opinion upon conditions that the pub
lie generally is not aware of. Most
people know there has for the past
three years been brisk competition be-
tween the West Virginia and Ohio
operators with odds in the formers
favor, but they are not cognizant of
the fact that there is a movement in
progress which will hold in allegiance
if not ~effectually shut out, the West
Virginia. product from the lake mar
kets. The Ohio roads comprising the
", Il. u W., W. n l.. e. ID. ~ ", duu
others, have been hauling West Vir-
ginia coal as cheap as that from the
tipples adjacent to their lines, and
since the natural advantages for min
ing are greater in the Mountain State
than in the veins across the river in
Ohio, the Fairmont and Monongah
coal has had all the best of it. But
there is a good chance for a change
this season and Ohio operators are
banking much on it. Under the ire
mendous pressure being brought to
bear upon the railroad companies of
Ohio they have been forced to the
point of making concessions which
will mean new life for the business in
that State. The Hooking Valley has
taken the initiative in the matter, and
will concede the local operators a ten
cent differential over foreign pro-
ducers. l have it upon excellent au-
thority that the B, & O., Wheeling &
Lake Erie and c., L. & w. will follow
this lead before the spring trade
opens and then you may look for lively
business among the mines across the
river and elsewhere throughout the
State. 1t is not expected that the
West Virginia mine owners will be I'M
duly Disseminated against, nor do the
Ohio men ask it. What they do want
though is enough difference in tariff
rates to counterbalance the superior
natural advantages for mining which
West Virginia enjoys over Ohio"
