ANTHRACITE TO GO Up
PRICE TO BE RAISED TWENTY
FIVE CENTS july /.

Anthracite coal will advance % cents
ton July ]. The reason therefor may
be deduced from various conditions, and,
for that matter, u raise in price usual
ly comes about June l or July l. Repre-
sentatives of the coal companies here are
inclined to believe that authorization of
trouble with hard coal mines is the most
direct cause for the raise. 1t is under
stood that considerable progress has;
been made in organization of anthracite
miners, who for years have not been ag-
gressively affiliated, as have the btu
minous men, and it is expected that in
a comparatively short time they will con-
slider themselves in shape to demand more
pay, with consequent disturbance and
lessened output.
Another view of the situation is that.
the season of distribution having begun.
the advance is legitimate in view of the
condition of stocks at distributing points.
May and June are known to the trade as
receiving months, when stocks are ship
ped to the distributing centers July |
the crops in general may be estimated,
and the dealers and various industries
dependent upon the agricultural condi-
tons can place their winter orders.
The crop conditions of the Northwest.
or the conditions of any one section have
comparatively little effect upon the coal
trade in general. AS an illustration. the
head of the lakes hard coal traffic is bit
about 100000 tons in a total annual con-
sumption of 45,C00,C00 or $4,000, 900 tons for
the whole country. The section known as
the Northwest, therefore, cuts little fig
IRE, and while conditions here or in any
other single section would not warrant
raise n price of coal at this time. the
barOns of the trade base their moves
upon a broader view

the secretary of state and the three rail
road commissionerships
The whole situation hinges upon the
action Of the convention in selecting a
nominee for secretary u state. There was
talk of combination between Langum
and Lomen, whereby the latter would
throw his strength to the former and ac-
cept his present place, assistant secretary
OF state. This arrangement would be
quite acceptable, as Lonen is at present,
as every one knows, the real secretary
or state, and thus matters would be con-
s1derably simplifed However, this ac-
ton would make 1T necessary to give a
Swede place on the railroad commits
sion, and the place would either go to
Quist or john Nelson, of Saltwater The
latter was brought forward as a candi-
date, as GUSTS candidacy is not regarded
faYorab'y in all quarters. On the other
hand, If the secretaryship goes to
SWede, it lies between MolanGer and Han.
son, with honors about even. It would
not be necessary, in this event, to give a
Norwegian place on the railroad COM
mission, as. Senator Nelson comes up for
