OUTLOOK FOR THE COAL TRADE
Consumption Equal TO Production
md Chances of n Strike
Diminish.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The Engineering
and Mining Journal speaking of the coal
trade says: The cold weather has brought
out a satisfactory buying in the anthracite
coal trade. particularly in the east. Prices
are firm and the consumption equals the
production. The prospects of a general
strike among the miners are much leSs, and
it is altogether probable that there will be
no serious trouble before spring.
In the seaboard bituminous trade the de-
mand continues brisk, particularly from be
yond Cape Cod, where there is a decided
shortage Of coal. Contracts are running
out, however. and producers are better able
10 take care of orders, Regarding the com
ing seasons prices it seems certain that rail
freights from mines to tidewater will be
80 cents higher than last year and that the
regular prices fer coal at the mines will be
about $3.50 per ton. Owing to high westerly
winds, following the foggy weather, vessels
are detained at eastern points and ocean
freight rates have risen.

PRAISES BoER OFFICERS.
Captain Reichman Says Dewst Is Butehe'
By Trade, But a Remarkable General.

CAPTAIN Carl Reichmann, who was
with the American military attache
with the Boer army in South Africa,
reached Washington last night from
New York, and Is preparing an elabo-
rate report on his observations Of the
war in the Transvaal. Captain Reich
mann, when interviewed, spoke in high
praise Of the Boer generals. Referring
to the news that General DeWet had
succeeded in dealing the English a
heavy blow by the capture Of 400 Brit
ish troops at Dewetsdorp, Capt. Reich
mann said:
IT know General DeWet very we'll.
He is a butcher by trade; but re-
markable general. The British will
have a hard time catching him. He
can keep them on the run for some
time. I am not surprised at his latest
move"
Captain Reichmann said that he
thought that it would depend upon the
Boer people whether or not their oppo-
sition to the English would be pro-
longed. He suggested that General De
Wet would be able for sometime to
give the British trouble, but added
that the Beers were a. hard people to
understand. He said:
"They might surrender at anytime,
and again they may continue to fight. "
Captain Reichmann left Lorenzo Mar
ques September 26, and arrived in New
York last Wednesday. He travelled in
cognito. He said he had received good
treatment by the Beers; but the neces-
stiles Of the camp had compelled him
at times to sleep in the grass without
a tent, to be his own butcher, cook,
shoemaker and harnessmaker, and
keep in the saddle most Of the time.
He remarked concerning the report
that he had led the Beers in one OF
their engagements:
II thought the American people
would have more faith in the honor of
an American officer than to believe
such a ridiculous story Washington
Dispatch.
