ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.

The March letter OF the Anthracite Coal Opera
tors Association says:
, The course of the anthracite market during the
last month has been anticipated The amount
OF coal coming to market when the demand was
light tended to lower prices gradually forcing
them to the level OF the anticipated opening cir
cular for the spring trade. The short period of
cold weather and partial success In reducing the
production prevented a further decline but the
month closed with the market in delicate con-
dition. The month of March opens with much un-
certainty. The estimated consumptions calculated
at about 25Oo 900 tons but the unsod interior and
tide stocks large and stocks held dealers at
nearly all points fully to their requirements
In the West the same condition prevails owing
10 the mild weather and receipts OF anthracite
have been less than the previous year, though a
greater quantity of bituminous coal has been
taken. The entire situation is most uncertain. An
excess of coal marketed efforts to force sales

Bryan! Win they return to the Re-
publican party OF will they remain
steadtast supporters OF the policies
advocated by the Democracy! IL
they do, many long years will pass be-
fore Nevada will roll 10 a majority
