 Consul Man, at Breslau, sends to the State department special report in which he tells of an interview with Gustav Schulze, one of the largest coal dealers in Berlin, regarding a visit he recently took to the United States for the purpose of arranging for important purchases of coal MT. Schulze thinks that the talk of America flooding Ger many with coal shows ignorance of the situation. American soft coal cannot yet, even with the present low ocean rates, be introduced into Germany proltably. Just now the WestpAalian soft coal is both better and cheaper than the American variety.

The freight, however must not be above S1.70 per ion or no business can be done I have the coal sent whole and break it up at my works in Hamburg. In the impor tation of anthracite coal, England is the only competitor with America"
 Tn the Dauphin county court of first instance the act against store orders nassed by the Pennsylvania legislature last year, ostensibly in difference to the labor interests, has proven defective. The act imposed a tax upon orders checks. coupons and pass-books repre- senting wages the employers paid in cash when presented within thirty days. theoretically, the tax was made heavy enough to prevent the resort to such devices. In the suits lately decided the courts took the ground that the act did not apply, in one case, to orders given Inv employes upon employers, which the emnloyers paid in cash when presented, and in others to the practice of paying employees with envelopes containing the cash balance obtained after deducting certain items from the gross earnings flor given time. Pennsylvania already , had a law requiring the semi-monthly navment of wages in lawful money, which many believed ample against subterfuges of this character. In the new legislation skeptical observers will he inclined to scent the corporation lawyers trail.
