fact that these showings are running along
regularly from week to week Is an evil

COTTON.

The cotton market was very firm at
quotations during the entire week, and
the only drawback to a larger business
was the limited offerings. Strength was
shown to-day in an advance of lie at the
opening, and Lice additional at the 1
o'clock call. This gain of sc was lost
at the closing, however, which was steady
at Wednesdays closing. There was not
great deal of business at the advance The
receipts for the week were 42.4i9 bales.
The sales to-day were 800 bales, this week
1881 bales, and this season 7l,632 bales.
While it is believed in some quarters that
the larger part of the crop has been mar
keted, the daily receipts indicate that
move. The receipts to-dSy Were above T.
COO bales, and have been on an average of
5000 daily throughout the week. The show
ing this season already compares favora-

underground, the walls of which in
many cases are upheld by timbers.
Now and then you come to rooms out

coal is taken down with blasting pow
der, and there is danger of the wsll
falling and of the miners being
crushed.
There is also danger from fire damp,
or the union of the gases of the mine
brought together by the light from o

explosion. It comes like stroke OF
lightning, and with clap of thunder.
AS the explosion occurs roaring

tunnels, pulling down the timbers and

thing within reach. Miners are
blinded, scorched and sometimes
burned to cinders. Hundreds have
often been killed at q timo by such
explosions, and by the food of cur
bonic acid aud gas which follows them.
The statistics show that even in the
United States one miner is killed for
every hupdred thousand tons of coal
mined, and those who are injured
number many times this proportion.

Since then some of these coal lands

It is hard to estimate the enormous

makes out of its coal. We get more

and the silver metal is not in it with

The first coal found in America was

The first coal found in America was
near Ottawa, Illinois. It is mentioned
by Father Hennepin, o French e1-
plorer, who visited there in 1879.
The first mines worked were about
Richmond, Va. This coal was dis
covered by a boy while out fishing. .
He was hunting for crabs for bait
in small creek, and thus stumbled
upon the outcroppings of the James
River coal bed. Our anthracite coal
fields have perhaps paid better than
any other coal fields OF the world.
They were discovered by hunter
named Nicho Allen, when George

contrary, his creditors become par

No engaged man was ever called upon

the life is not an alluring one. The
pay is small, the work hard and the
dangers still many. The only really
pleasant way to be connected with
coal mine is as the owner OF one.
Our Appalachian coal fields alone
could supply the world with fuel for
centuries. They are the largest and
richest known, and they are so stu
ated that the coal can be shipped from
them long distances by water. From
Pittsburg coal can be carried for
eighteen thousand miles on navigable
streams and the CRATE fires OF the
South blaze with the rays from the
black diamonds from Pennsylvania.
The Ohio River is the great coal chute
for the Mississippi valley. The coal
is carried down it IN great barges,
pushed by little steamers, and 80 fast
ened together that single ste amer
will push acres of coal. Loads OF
twenty thousand tons are taken. a
vast amount of coal is carried on the
canals and the great lakes from oneof
the chief highways OF tne coal tranic.
The amount of coal carried on the
railroads is almost beyond conception.
The Philadelphia and Reading has
more than fifty thousand coal cars.
which are dragged by nine hundred
coal locomotives. These cars are kept
busy in carrying anthracite coal. The
Pennsylvania Railroad employs more
than seventy thousand cars for the
movement of its coal and coke trade,
and the Central Railroad OF New Jer-
sey carries about five million tons Of
anthracite coal every year. More coal
is handled at New York than at any
other place in the world except Lon
don, more than fifteen million stons
being used or transshipped at that
point annually.
