has been thrown, says me Journal OF
Commerce. The movement TO import
coal assumed much greater proportions
than generally supposed. Nearly 100
steamers have been chartered to load full
cargoes Of coal this way. only 20 of
which have arrived.
One effect OF the ruch OF coal laden ton
mage this way is generalization in trans
Atlantic shipping on the eastward voy-
ages.
The statement is declared by steamship
agents to be in no sense an exaggera-
ton that grain can be moved IN cargo
lots at this time at lower rates than ever
before. Large steamers are now available
for picked ports in the United Kingdom
at 1s Sd per quarter. Some years ago the
regular lines offered TO carry grain free
ballast. The steamship OF today. however.
is equipped with water ballast facilities
so that free transportation OF grain 70
any other product is no longer a proba-
biity
The only apparent Improvement in the
situation is in the demand for cotton
steamers.
High prices for grain are the chief de-
terrent influence on export business. The
crops abroad are on the whole fairly sat
lsfactory: at any rate they are promising
enough 10 place the foreign buyer in an
Independent position so far as urgent
contracts for American grain are con-
cerned. In addition there is at the mo-
ment acknowledged scarcity OF the
standard grades OF wheat on this side and
scarcity of railroad transportation fa-
cilities for moving wheat.

cost. TO say nothing OF the cost Of hand
ling and delivery. The increase OF trans
portation will keep the price OF coal up
TO considerable extent. The prices
quoted at New York were not correct ana
the prices here compare favorably with
the prices charged at Boston and else
where.
So far as the price OF coal is concern
ed, that is, anthracite coal for future de-
livery, no prices have been fixed. At the
office OF John X. White a. Son IL was
stated that IL was hoped that the open
ing price OF coal would be not more than
s. a ton. but this depended on the con.
ditions which obtained and the cost OF
transportation. At the office Of the East
ern Coal company IL was said that TO pre-
dict the price OF coal for December was
about as uncertain as prognosucating the
weather for April "a next. Nothing would
suit the company better than to see hard
coal open at So a ton. and yet there was
no reason to undertake to make a price
when the conditions depended 80 largely
on the future.
1t was also said that It would not be
surprising that the cost OF transportation
for hard coal went up 10 81 or higher, ana
the company showed a telegram which
offered the barge referred TO above at 10
cents a ton freight There is some coal
coming all the time. but the barges, when
unloaded. leave the company with empty
pockets. and this does not indicate there
Is any supply on hand. The weather
conditions will grow steadily worse as
the winter comes on, and this VIII De q
factor which must be dealt with; ana ana
companies mean 10 take advantage OF the
opportunity and get all they can.
While there Is prospect OF some nard
coal coming as soon as the mining is re-
sumed Il Is also certain that the prices
will not be as low as some people hoped
But no matter what the price. there Is
probability of sufficient coal coming.

II must be recalled that this is a price

eideration that the cost OF transportation
OF anthracite coal is more, II would not
be surprising 10 see the prices for hard
coal go up 10 ST. $50 or possibly 81

suffered materially because OF the lack
OF coal and now they will get square

The mining of coal with union miners
was resumed in the Wyoming valley this
morning. There was much activity at all
Of the collieries. but owing to the con-
dition OF many OF the mines the full
quota Of men could not be employed.
The fire bosses reported that many
places were in dangerous condition and
the superintendents refused 10 allow the
miners to enter those places. At least Is
per cent OF the mines in this region will
not be able to resume work for several
weeks.

and non-union men when they reported

All sorts of special pleas have been
made in applications for pensions. One
Of the most ludicrous was made in
Portland. When the applicant was
asked Is he ever served in the army or
navy, he said. No" Asked as to
what grounds he based his application
on, he said that he was in eastern Or
egon when the Indians went on the
warpath; that in making for point of
safety he and some other men were at
tackled by the Indians, one Of the other
men being killed and another wounded.
He escaped on account of the tleetness
of his horse, but the encounter caused
him such excitement that he had had
occasional fits ever since. and on ac-
count of the fits he thought he was en-
titled to a pension.-Portland Orego-

Barre, VT. Feb. 10, 1902.
To the Granite Trade throughout
the United States and Car ada.
Gentlemen:
No doubt many of the people in-
terested in the manufacture and handl-
ing of Barre granite have had some
information, or rather have been mis-
inform, d n many instances, OF plan
which is now under consideration by
the Barre Granite Mauufac urers' AS
sociation and vicinity, and to place
ourselves in proper light before you
and the public at large, we beg leave
to submit you this circular letter for
your consideration.
1t is a well-known fact that for the
past ten years the employees in con-
necticn with the granite industry have
bee n emanding and obtaining re-
duction Of working hours and cor
responding increase in rate Of wages,
until today we are paying our work
men more money for days work OF
eight hours than we did few years
past for days TX of 10 hours, thus
adding to the labor cost Of manufac-
turing granite about 25 per cent. In
addition to this. the rough material
is today costing from rs to 35 per
cent more chan it did two years ago.
Lumber for boxing our stone has in
creased in cost at least so per cent,
and everything connected with the
! manufacturing establishment has had
a corresponding increase.
In well.regulated business, this in
crease of cost Of production should
have been added to the selling price,
thereby making our product more ex.
pensive to the consumer, but, en- the
contrary, we are selling thesame today
for less money for the same
kind Of work than we obtained
ten years ago. Thi has been brought
about, first, by the fact that we have
never had any uniform basis or scale
of prices by which granite work has
been estimated. Second, by unscrup-
ulous competition and these have been
carried on to such IAN extent that the
manufacturers have tound IL absolute
! ly necessary to take some measures TO
protect themselves.
BY there being no system by which
work was estimated, we believe the re.
spo' sihle dealers in our product have
suffered equally as much as ourselves,
and to place the bu u,iness in better
condition, we have decided, first, to
! establish scale OF prices by which all
work shall be figured, this scale of
