The Engnecring and Mining Journal
OF Saturday says
"Thc best year in the history of the
anthracite coal trade is nearing its
end. II will be long remembered. not
only on account of the great increase
in production shown, but also on ac-
count OF it's having witnessed the first
successful attempt to maintain Il sched-
ic Of prices that did not discriminate
ana was binding on all the great pro-
ducinl: companies. Jobbers and retail
crs at many points have complained of
not getting favors or not being able to
profit BY the usual low prices during
The period of midsummer dullness but
one man has been able to get his coal
as chcaply as another and the dealer
who took advantage of the spring dis
counts has now little cause for COM
paint.
The output OF coal during Novem-
bcr is thought to have been about H.
gUO.OOO tons. The output during De-
cc,nbcr. if cold and stormy weather
does not Interfere, is likely to be about
ns great in spite Of the holidays. So
tar, hut a very small amount of coal
has gone into storage at the great
sey. and the mines would shin more
heavily were sufficient cars to be had.
The closing of lake navigation seems
tu have little effect on car supply and
it is altorethcr probable that Il lack Of
motive power on the main line roads is
as an important factor in the present
poor transportation facilities as is car
supply. AT any rate there is little pros

for months.
In Lake Superior territory supplies
of anthracite on the docks are better
than was articipated, but the indica-
tions are that all-rail coal will be need
ed before spring. At Chicago all-iail
coal is arriving more freely. In spite
of the poor car supply during the past
two months arrivals of all-rail coal are
about 80 600 tons ahead of the figures
for this date last year. Receipts by
lake also exceed the 1900 figures, though
behind those of 1899
I'm general. ii may be said that the
supplies of coal at Lake Michigan
points are about up to the average. The
temperature this winter will determine
the size of the shortage before lake
navigation opens again. Demand at
lover lake points and at inland points
IN the east has been active. The vari-
,us coal roads continue to try to re-
strict shipments to points along their
,wn lines. Along the Atlantic seaboard
business is generally brisk. Last week 8

storm In Norta Dakota.

FARGO, N. D., July ga heavy
rain and wind storm prevailed this
afternoon over a large part OF the
State. Great damage is reported at
Tappan, 125 miles west of Fargo, where
it amounted to tornado. A church, 4
store, several residences and other
buildings were blown down and the
Northern Pacific depot unroofed. The
crops in the path of the storm, which
was several miles wide, were totally
destroyed. In the Red River valley
rain fell from the national boundary
line all along the State line. In the
northern part there was not much
wind, but around Fargo and in Mime
sofa. there was quite heavy straight
wind which has lodged the grain. The
wind attained velocity of nearly forty
miles and blew for an hour. The rain
fall was 1.60 inches and will make It
impossible for binders to be put in the
fields for several days.

their employers on Saturday demand

were s2.75 per day for packers and
1925 for nailers, % cents more than
they are now receiving. Accompanying
the demand was clause requiring n
contract for five years. The employers
agreed to raise the wages, as desired,
but would enter into no contract.
The strikers met to-day, and after
much discussion, decided upon a de-
mand for a one-year contract A con-
ference will be held with the employers
tomorrow morning, and the demand
of the nailers and packers will be pre-

PITTSTON, Pa, July 25.-The Inter
national Association of Stationary En-
gineers held a conference here to-day.
There was quite large attendance OF
delegates from this section of the an
thracite region.
The proceedings were secret, and all
the information the press committee
would give out was that considerable
routine business was transacted 1t is
understood that the late strike OF the
stationary iremen caused a good deal
of discussion. Many of the engineers
went out in sympathy with the firemen,
and while all the firemen have got their
old places back, there are some engi-
neers who have not as yet been rein
stated.
Some of the speakers In the conven-
ton thought the engineers had not been
treated fairly in the matter. They tried
to help others and had to suffer for their
generosity. The president of the conven-
ton, however, is said to have received
assurances from the executive officers
of the United Mine Workers that every
effort will be made to secure the rein
