THE COAL TRADE.
Anthracite Business Continues to Be
Featureless,


Philadelphia, June 3.-The Ledger
in its coal article tomorrow will say:
The anthracite coal trade continues
featureless. While prices are nomin-
ally held at the circular rates, the
companies knowing the long summer
ahead OF them. with diminished con-
sumption, are keeping the output down
to the lowest point consistent with
working their collieries advantageous
ly, and are thus preventing unsold
stocks from accommodating too much.
They state that coal Is being market
ed quite as well as is usual at the be-
ginning OF summer. The companies
are in such thoroughly harmonious re-
lations that their arrangements are
being kept more in hand than hereto
fore, and this tends to their business
advantage. Hence the financial out
look OF the anthracite trade is better
than has usually been the case in the
period OF dullness OF trade.
There was some talk in this city last
week, caused by the appearance OF
Coke Brothers q company as q COM
petitive bidder against the Reading,
Lehigh Valley and Lehigh Navigation
company for the supply OF coal to
the Philadelphia public schools. Here
tofOre these three companies have d.
vided this business, but by unexpect-
edly lower bids Coke Brothers & COM
pany have secured the contracts for
more than half the supply for 1900.
The inference was that the Individual
coal operators are still at variance
with the companies about the pur-
chasing OF heir output. and that this
was an indication OF their humor
when one OF the chief OF them ap-
pears as an active and successful
competitor. This bidding probably
will lead TO some adjustment of diff
ferences. with which the projected
new railroad TO Kingston, on the Hud-
son, may not be entirely disconnected.
