greatest coal mining company mergings
in the history of the country-which in
cludes the consolidation of the Pittsburg
Coal Company. the Monongahela River
Consolidated Coal and Coke company,
and practically all the competing inter
ests of these companies in the Ohio, West
Virginia and Illinois fields-has been re-

posed merger are said to be indicated in
the recent incorporation of the combines
of the Central Pennsylvania and West
Virginia companies, such as the Fair
mont Coal company, and the proposed
consultations in Ohio and Illinois.
One Of the next steps, according to the
coal men, will be the merging of the two
big Pittsburg coal companies into single
headed corporation-the river combine,
with capitalization of $S0, 0,O0O, 900, and
the rail combine, with $64, COX. Geo. or a to-
tai Of $94,000,000. The other corporations
