in This City.
The market for anthracite is still
strong. If the producing companies
are not making money now, there is
no hope for them. Prices are firmly |
maintained and practically the entire
output of the collieries is being taken. /
With the possibility of labor troubles
by April 1 and this possibility is much
greater than certain newspapers seem
willing to admit, the outlook is fav-
prable for good demand into March.
"ar supply at the colleres, which be-
gan to show some signs of improve
lnent, has been reduced again as a re-
suit of the recent storm. The main line
roads are all open, but sidngs are snow
bound in many places and coal is great
ly delayed in transit.

ors, and the presidents of several of
the anthracite districts have been in
New York city this week trying to ar
'anSe for n conference with j. p Nor
gan. While such a meeting may be ar
ranged, officials of the companies con-
cerned profess to know nothing about
it,. MIR. Mitchell made a similar visit
to New York shortly before meeting
of the Mine Workers last year. His
present visit is probably undertaken
with a view to making a statement at
the convention announced to be held
at Shamokin on March IL. The opera
tors are to be invited to be present at
this conventions; it remains to be seen
whether or not the operators are any
better represented than they We're last
year.
Trade in the Northwest continues to
show a steady movement of coal from
the docks. and a very fair winter mar
ket. In Chicago territory trade is good
Supplies on docks are thought to be
large enough to last till navigation
opens. Arrivals of all-rail coal, how
ever, have been light. owing to delays
by snow along the railroads in Penn
sylvania. AS a result some dealers de-
pendent on all-rail shipments have been
short of coal. Along the lower lakes
and in the all-rail trade farther east
the heavy snow fall has cut down re-
ceipts severely and greatly hampered
the forwarding of cars stalled on sid
ings. The shortage of btuminous coal
in that territory has brought out a
anthracite. Along the Atlantic sea-
board wintry weather has prevailed.
and the consumption of coal has been
heavy. The market is very active at
Boston, New York and Philadelphia.
At New York retail dealers have had
great trouble in making deliveries
through the snow for several days, and
the movement by barges about the har-
Dor has been badly hampered by ice.
The steam sizes are in strong demand.
